Football recruits

[Captain Hogleg]

No issue with this at all. The RAC and the atmosphere is a selling point. Football needs to take advantage of it as much as possible.

 

[SBP]

It’s a basketball game

They have done it before! Intro coach .

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

When there is student demand they should always get the seats over recruits from another sport

 

[SBP]

Doing alot of favors for a 5-6 win coach

Jerk

 

[scarlet4life]

Are there still offices above the lobby? Would make a nice recruiting lounge, but as with FB they still need seats once the game starts right?

 

[anvilofstars]

Relax guys. BBall recruits come to the football games too.

I would think we got a commit or 2 from this atmosphere

 

[Jtung230]

Who by the way never won the Big East and lost to New Hampshire

all he did was get us in the B1G. Who gives a **** about Big East?

 

[OldManRiver1]

Who by the way never won the Big East and lost to New Hampshire

But he didn’t lose to UMass…just saying

 

[bac2therac]

Visit the Round Table more often if you think that.

Why

FB is KING.

Lol

 

[bethlehemfan]

I would hope they let those students in.

 

[Jtung230]

Why
Lol

B1G didn’t take us because of bball.

 

[-RUFAN4LIFE-]

Why
Lol

True stay out of the RT, we mostly talk football there year round. Even if 30% of it is Block repeating the same thing over and over...lol.

 

[Captain Hogleg]

Football rules all. Critical for the school on almost every level to get the program back to being top 20. Will help everything.

 

[RC1978]

For the record:

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Jerry should start finding out the beers sold each game

 

[read option]

This is part of the line of students that did NOT get in because of the recruits

I don’t understand why we never use the doors closest to the bigger lot to let fans in. Why is it exit only?

 

[-RUFAN4LIFE-]

For the record:

So all this angst and teeth gnashing in TWO different threads and everyone was let in. Typical of RU fans to jump the gun without an ounce of facts.

 

[-RUFAN4LIFE-]

Jerry should start finding out the beers sold each game

We should have Richie put a FOIA request in for that information.

 

[RUPete]

All of our programs need to work together- I think coach Pike and GS would be the first to say that. I hope what Carino tweeted is true. We have to find a way to get those students in.

 

[Barnaby&Neill]

I still can’t get over this thread.

People resent Schiano for bringing recruits to the game.

And complain in the fall when we’re outgunned on the football field.

Something has gotta give…

I was a student in 2006. There was tremendous student demand for the Louisville game, and not everyone got to go. That’s life.

 

[red sail]

No mention or intro of Greg at game ! Why?! Should have done it first half

It’s not about Schiano today. It was about celebrating the seniors.

 

[Colbert17!]

But he didn’t lose to UMass…just saying

Or Lafayette

 

[Colbert17!]

Sarcasm guys. That was one of the standard arguments by the anti GS crowd during the rehire.

 

[Myrtleknight]

You can’t take 1/3 of the student section. And you can’t take the first 4 rows. Shameful.

 

[bac2therac]

bac in the day, we had to get our student tickets monthly not just pick them up at the game..that made sure that people who really made the effort to go to the game would get first pick

we often waited in long lines that wrapped into the side hallways at the rac at 8AM with 4 ids

 

[-RUFAN4LIFE-]

As posted by someone at the game:

Place was packed. And yes many cheerleader and band and dance team senior parents were there. Maybe only 3 full rows football say 60 seats. The rest were parents of seniors. Good for RU

So we should just ignore all the other integral parts to the game day experience and not have seats set aside for their parents either? All students were allowed in per Jerry Carino so doesn't that make everything moot?

 

[Jtung230]

Has the student section been sold out the entire year?

 

[Malavethe3rd]

Who by the way never won the Big East and lost to New Hampshire

Keep that energy when they winning

 

[Colbert17!]

Once again my saracastic swipe at the anti GS crowd

 

[RU-ROCS]

I love RUnfootball and Basketball and have season tix to voth. But the football recruits at a big game at the RAC has always been a pet peeve of mine too. Mostly because they take up a lot of space and are too cool to cheer so they mostly just sit on their hands.

 

[The RUT]

I’d like for recruiting trips to the RAC to be a bit more high valued.

Something where the truly ELITE level recruits are the ones that get to attend games in the RAC as recruits. (Conference games only?)

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Easy Solution.... Tell Schiano when he is fighting for the 4th Spot in the entire B1G Conference in football he can get as many seats as he wants !!!

Until then, "Let my People (students) Go !

Yeah tell that to the Head Coach that provides more than 80% of the revenue for the entire AD. Smart thinking!!

You are so funny. Never stop posting, laughter is good for me.

Not easy to get pass my sarcasm detector. Well done.

 

[ScarletDave]

I was in the student section behind the band and that’s where the extra students were - people were standing in both the row and on the benches (ie if you were standing in your row, you couldn’t sit down on the bench behind you because people were standing on it) … I.e. twice as many people than seats

Que up the ledger story, Jersey Mike’s arena is a fire hazard or Rutgers ignore fire code or Rutgers puts sports over safety of students.

It is part of the recruiting game and Schiano is taking good advantage of it. If it helps us acquire a desired player I don’t see the harm in it.

With so little positive energy and gameday experience to show football recruits, it's great to have the RAC to show these kids what Rutgers can be like if we get it going in football. I'm all for using our assets to support football recruiting.
