Great points. I think we're 3-0 right now if we had a state of the art field house, and we'd be ranked top 25 if they ever finished the Death Star. Greg Schiano has done wonderful and has a thick package but we have NOT given him the support he needs to compete.

We all need to do our part and donate everything we have to help afford these things and the additional staffers the program requires!!!
Totally! I just posted a YouTube rap about a hot 12 year old prospect too! I'm meeting up with him and Chris Hansen this weekend to gift him some NIL in the form of beer and fireworks and condoms!

EDIT: Don't worry, Greg knows and always does!

Super duper! I couldn't find the YouTube video but maybe we can be file sharing partners? There's a few younger prospects I've been keeping my eye (and other things...) on!

Love this! I just donated a lot of money to an NIL co-op called Ha Mas. They have a lot of prospects in the middle / east region who play with the exact type of violence Gregory speaks of!

Do they have any QBs that can throw bombs?

Texas has a real defense. Lack of game reps doesn't explain 10 interceptions in 3 games. Poor preparation and bad coaching do, though.
Bo Mascoe helps make Texas’ defense real.
I know it’s fashionable to blame the coaches these days, but the interceptions he threw were all on Lonergan. The first interception was an overthrow.
Good decision but bad execution. The 2nd interception, he tried to rifle the ball past the safety, who was reading his eyes the whole way, and jumped the route. This throw was a bad decision.

When even Purdue can offer student athletes a state of the art Fieldhouse, it makes us look unserious as a program.



USC just built a state of the art Fieldhouse even though they are giving players big bags.



Then people like you will wonder why our recruiting is down the tubes. It’s because other Big Ten programs can offer a lot more.

Even Syracuse can offer a brand new Facility:



As can USF:

People like to joke on Al about the infamous field house, but he is 99% right. (Not the 1% that it guarantees a Big Ten championship) but the 99% that it’s pathetic we as a Big Ten program have no facility when many schools with half the endowment 1/10th the history and a fraction of the alumni have built them. USF? Left behind in the AAC and with no stadium no students and a program that started like 20 years ago? But not Rutgers in the NYC metro area? We have to have a plastic bubble? Come on

He was reading his eyes because USC's DC made taking away the slant a point of emphasis. Texas had a real defense last year.

He's a great coach when he wins. He doesn't have enough support or talent when he loses. Al wants it both ways.

You almost got it right.

Schiano is the greatest coach Rutgers could get.
Full stop.

If the team loses: obviously not Schiano fault. He's the best possible coach Rutgers could have. UMass and BC clearly have more institutional and fan support. He was forced to go barging bin shopping for players. Because he's the greatest, he got the best bargin bin players obviously.

If the team wins: Schiano, through his foece of greatness, overcame these terrible bargin bin players.

When you start from the foundation: There is not 1 single coach in all of CFB, available to Rutgers, who could do better than Schiano, all the posts make sense.

Note - I didn't say win the conference. Nobody would say there is an available coach who could win the B1G and compete with OSU consistently.

We are trying to develop talent on the fly because we couldn’t afford experienced players.

Athan was replaced with a kid still learning the game. Bo Mascoe was replaced with a kid who doesn’t have great ball skills. We clearly lost more than we gained so we’re doing our best with what we have.

Wrong.
According to you. Athan was supposed to be replaced with Tom Brady.

How did money or NIL effect that? Suarace never went anywhere.

Where the safety was positioned didn’t take away the slant. The safety was reading the QBs eyes because the quarterback is prone to locking onto his target receiver, which is why the safety was able to jump the route. BO Mascoe mitigated the production of the #1 receiver in America. Kid will surely play Sundays. Just another kid we developed for someone else.

When you’re 14 of 18 teams in NIL support, that is not enough. $5M + in NIL advantage is a huge hurdle to overcome. The only reason we lost to UMass and BC is that he didn’t have a QB ready to go. You’re the typical fan who expects chicken salad out of chicken 💩and then gets mad when it doesn’t happen. Most teams on our schedule have more nil and/or better facilities, which is why they have better recruiting results. Your key phrase is “available to Rutgers”. Better coaches in college football know to stay away from this job because it’s too much work. No one else is going to spend the effort that Schiano does.

Tom Brady needed time to develop, as does Surace. He needs reps.

According to who?
You said Surace would be "ready to go" in 2025 after redshirting 2024.
He got an entire extra year of practice.
You said you watched him for 4 years in HS.

Again, Surace's failings have nothing to do with lack of money.


"He’ll have plenty of time to watch film, learn the playbook, develop chemistry with his wide receivers on the scout team, get stronger, and get used to the speed of the game. He’s already on campus training.

Next year, he’ll be ready to go.

After AJ Steps on the field, Rutgers Football will never be the same."

Money had nothing to do with UMass or BC or "not having a QB ready to go".

Surace - according to YOU - should have been ready to go a year ago.

What happened?

Why is the QB locking on to his target receiver? Shouldn't his coach make this a point of emphasis? Don't you think that the USC DC noticed this? Mascoe limited the production of the #1 receiver in America because he was in position to do so. That's what coaches do. Put players in a position to make plays.

Why didn't RU have a QB ready to play? The QB that Schiano OUTBID BC to get is chicken sh*t now? The future Tom Brady, who's been in the program for several years, is also chicken sh*t? What better facilities and larger NIL pool did UMass and BC have that attracted better talent? UMass's QB wasn't a starter at VT. BC's QB was D2. Why were they ready to play?

Now you're predicting that the rest of the games (except Indiana) are winnable, which should be impossible, because most of those teams have better facilities and more money, which YOU claim is the ONLY reason Schiano can't beat them, compelling evidence to the contrary. And if they lose those games, you'll put the blame on the fans instead of where it belongs. With Schiano.

He keeps listing all the issues where Greg and the staff failed to do their jobs. The only people that really understand what is going on are Doug and gef (not sure if he posts here since the conversion). Al just makes stuff up that actually paints a worse picture and tries to sugar coat it with this fictional lack of NIL which was not the case this year.

Doubt BC bid anything for him to be a backup. It’s the places in the market for a probable starter he outbid. There must have been some suitors. Maybe CCSU, Trinity, Montclair St ….

Generally correct, but I think schools like Texas State or Bishop Sycamore were more likely destinations.

Edit: Looks like Paul Blake has one more year of eligibility so scratch the Armadillos off the list

I'm convinced we are all doing the wrong drugs because Al is on something no man, woman nor beast, has ever eaten, drank, sniffed, snorted or injected, in the history of this universe.

The incessant bumbling bullshyte, the nonstop spinning psychobabble, the endless cornucopia of contradictions.....JUST STOP.....we're begging you, as a fan base en masse, to SHUT THE FLYINGFUCK UP!!!!

Have a nice day, buddy.

Al's predictions vs Common Sense (BOLD)

Howard- W Gee, really?
Indiana-L Cigs puts on a coaching clinic; Greg fired within 48-hours
Maryland- W yeah close but we likely lose
Northwestern-W lolol another coaching clinic, on the road, Greg loses this one
Michigan-W put the pipe down this is a loss
Wisconsin- L CORRECT!!!!
Nebraska- W seriously, put the pipe down another loss
Penn State-L YOU GOT ANOTHER ONE CORRECT!!!!
MSU- W Maybe

Just a formality but the player did make the interception, right? Ergo, he was positioned properly and had the slant covered. He was coached properly, unlike the QB who wasnt coached properly. Just because he wasn't between the receiver and the QB waving his hands and yelling "look! The slant is taken away", doesnt mean he wasnt positioned properly. In fact, I'd say he was positioned perfectly (and coached well) into tricking our QB who should have known better.

Wisconsin, Northwestern, Maryland, and Michigan have QBs that are good runners. That's trouble.

The ball was thrown way behind the WR. He couldn’t make a play on the ball to catch it or knock it down because of where it was thrown. The one thing we don’t know is where the WR should have been on the route.
