Goodale shivs Pikiell?

[Mr. Magoo1]

Who’s Coach Pikes?

 

[DC8690]

Hes a moron who should keep his trap shut..who is he to call out our student athletes

This is comical……I’m sure you’ve read our game day posts.

Wrestlers are built differently

Yup , if you wrestled you'd understand that completely

Really? I see wrestlers sitting out matches all the time.

My first job after graduating from RU was as a sportswriter at a local newspaper. I was given the high school wrestling beat. I immediately found out wrestlers are a different breed.

 

[APKnight]

I don’t get wrestling anyway. If it were team vs team for the NC, I might be more into it. But it’s all about individuals. Not my cup of tea. Not to disparage the sport.

 

[Ridge 22]

Goodale has two national champions and a top ten finish on his resume. Explain to me how Pike has anything close to that resume.

I’ll leave off the 20ish all Americans goodale has had during his tenure.

We used to be very bad. Now we are aspirationally mediocre. Pike did that.

 

[Local Shill]

It doesn't even matter who the more successful coach is. Can you imagine Schiano going on social media and taking veiled shots at the baseball team or whatever. Ridiculous behavior.

Schiano won't even acknowledge the basketball team's existence. So you're right.

 

[RexMantlepiece]

These people are insane

Rutgers needed to end this year
.15-17 ..

Schiano won't even acknowledge the basketball team's existence. So you're right.

And yet Greg is at games with and without recruits and like wise for Pike so not sure if your sound with your comment

 

[newell138]

0-33 BIG record against PSU, Mich, Minn, OSU, and Iowa.

Isn’t that most schools?

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Schiano won't even acknowledge the basketball team's existence. So you're right.

He frequently attends games

 

[RUbacker]

Maybe he knows something we don't know or he hates player not representing their school cause they're one and done.

a lot going on behind the scenes

 

[Mr_Twister]

Does declining post-season action affect NIL compensation? After all we’re in the Pay for Play era.

 

[mikeyoc]

These people are insane

Rutgers needed to end this year
.15-17 ..good lord

Yep. Every other game was like a trip to the dentist

 

[Hondo77]

He should stay in his lane.

NIL is likely paid over the course of the regular season since postseasons are not guaranteed.

Read them. He's authored plenty of them.

Now they are student athletes? Horeshit. We all would have watched if RU showed up in a post season event, lets not pretend otherwise. I couldn't imagine turning down an opportunity to play as a kid that age. They should be called out, whether its business decision or not.

 

[seansherm]

Let me breakdown the multiple comments like this that I've seen:

It's about appeasing older men who still think the athletes are beholden to them for their entertainment.

Its about appeasing the older men that either led the way for them, or appeasing the older men that are now asked to pay them to play. Don't ask those guys to pay you then.

Most of the guys whining aren't paying anything. I know that for a fact from all the times I've pushed NIL in conversations on TKR.

That’s nice. Now shut up, coach.

Play at this age and have a chance to play in a money tournament! Kids literally turning down $$$$$ to play basketball.

 

[AdventureHasAName]

I remember when Pike felt compelled to comment on Schiano's contract negotiations, so I don't feel particularly protective of him now when he is taking incoming.

 

[KK1827]

The post had nothing to do with pike, our players or basketball. It was about wrestlers competing hard in tournaments.

 

[ru66]

Schiano won't even acknowledge the basketball team's existence. So you're right.

??? So is that why he takes up 1/3 of the student section at games for recruits and their families,to show them that the basketball team doesn't exist?? You're nuts.

Goodall just affirmed that in a tweet. Always the same guys ,mainly one, looking to attack coaches at RU and loving the blame game-- again , Bac, any receipts where you've praised the school you " love"?

Bac is a fan and if you read his recaps, you know he loves the program. He’s higher than the highs and lower than the lows.

There is an institution above all. And fans, men and women, young and old, who are the economic engine behind it all

 

[RUJMM78]

Isn’t that most schools?

Rutgers defeated Michigan when Flood was head coach.

 

[Ridge 22]

Rutgers defeated Michigan when Flood was head coach.

Yes!!!! And then more yes. Thank God for the Flood era. So many great memories and accomplishments as you just noted. Thanks for being the one guy capable of having the pulse on Rutgers athletics to point that out. You get it. Great post!!!

 

[newell138]

Rutgers defeated Michigan when Flood was head coach.

the topic was wrestling

 

[LeapinLou]

I said it on another thread and I'll say it here. It's weak that the players don't want to play. So I agree with Coach Goodale and don't have an issue with him calling them out.

Whether or not they should continue the season is a fair debate and I have no issue with the fans on this board that want to shut it down. But the players not wanting to play? No bueno.

 

[Bobbynieds]

Pike has way, way more big wins on his resume than Goody does.

Goody has 2 National Champions, how many does Pike have?

 

[Salvi's Headband]

yeah, no. not buying that

 

[seansherm]

I won't say you are wrong, but they are the people being asked. Choosing not to play when the opportunity in there isn't going to change minds.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Honestly....I do have a lot of really great memories of the Flood era. His run probably provided more ecstatic moments for the football program than anyone but Schiano version 1.

Has anything since topped the thrill of that Michigan win?
Beating Arkansas in Fayetteville? Getting them again at home in the big comeback?
The comeback in Indiana?
Routing UNC in a bowl game?

That stadium still hasn't been as full or as loud as it was in great Flood era games like Louisville (Bridgewater game), Penn State (first big ten game), Michigan, Michigan State (the Leonte return game...technically Norries Wilson not flood lol).

Did he follow up, I thought he only said it wasn't about Pike?

 

[ru66]

As BAC said , I'm still waiting for receipts-- his recaps??? so if I read the fifty paragraphs , I've never see his bitching about RU--are you for real?

 

[DowntownT_Brown]

I 100% believe this was not a shot at Pike or the players. One of our wrestlers (Poznanski) essentially retired from the sport right before the BIG tournament and the impression I got was that Goodale was supportive of the decision. I have no evidence to support this but just from following our team it seems burnout in wrestling happens at a disproportionate rate compared to other sports and I am sure Goodale understands this and is not taking shots at other sports.

 

[RuSnp]

Goody has 2 National Champions, how many does Pike have?

The entire Ashnault season and especially the win over the Princeton kid at the RAC was as good as it gets for me. I don't want to get into this kind of argument especially denigrating somehow any our wrestlers- we've had a bunch of good ones.

But the numbers are the numbers. He's gotta sometime beat the top end of teams in his conference. Otherwise what are we doing? Pike's team beat the number 1 team in the country two straight years - one in maybe the toughest venue in America. This year stunk but let's not act like Pike hasn't accomplished a decent amount here.
