This is the best 0-3 team in Rutgers history. Chris Ash’s team would have gotten smoked 51-3, by USC.

We are playing our best football now, and should be able to notch some wins, as long as we avoid turnovers. There is clear talent on this team, unlike the Ash years. Every remaining game is winnable.

And until we actually win those games.....Schiano's record = Ash's record

Not really extension worthy.

Reminder - Ash beat UMass in 2019 before getting fired.

Putting lipstick on a pig, our best football still isn’t good enough.

So according to you there wasnt enough talent on the team several weeks ago to compete with UMass, but now there is enough talent to immediately grant Schiano an extension and also win 6 out of 9 remaining games?

There wasn’t enough experienced talent onhand. It’s developing with every rep. We went toe-toe with USC, whose roster is worth $20M more than ours.

Our QB threw two picks, one of which was the difference in the game. If the QB stops throwing the ball to the opposition, we will win some games.
Blame your boy Greggie who claimed we are fortunate to have two good quarterbacks. Greg's inability to develop AJ by now is mind boggling considering he was supposed to be a high level recruit and he comes from a coaching family

This isn’t particularly a GS point but I’ve said similar many times in the past with regards to all admin and the way they hand out contracts and extensions. More than likely you don’t have the next Saban on staff so don’t go crazy with extensions and pay raises for no reason and for the slightest bit of positive results. If they want to go then let them and do your job and find a suitable replacement.

This tweet basically undermines everything “SchianoIsMyDaddy” Al says.

Wait! They have $20 mil higher roster AND a shiny, new, behemoth of a fieldhouse but could not dominate Rutgers? Either that's a colossal waster of money (which it is), or Greg is a really, good coach (which he is not).

The quarterback position is the toughest position on the field, and kids get better by playing, then learning from their mistakes. A strong offensive line can make it easier on the quarterback, so you don’t have to throw as much, and can put him in position to succeed. We don’t have a strong offensive line, so the quarterback has to perform under sometimes adverse circumstances as the Left Tackle has sometimes struggled, though we got much better play from that spot in the USC game. Quarterbacks may struggle against Indiana, but they should play better, beginning with Maryland. Especially now that we’ve stabilized the Left Tackle position with Chris Vigna.

People had great social experiences at Rutgers, but if you ask them “how was the service at Rutgers” they’d say terrible. At least that’s how many of my classmates felt.
I don't understand this comment "the service at Rutgers is terrible". What service? Waiting in line at the Commons? Heaters working in the dorms? I received a very good education at Rutgers and got academic and financial assistance when I needed it. What was I missing?

Some professors are horrible.
Many TAs are horrible because they can’t speak proper English.
Financial Aid can be horrible.
Registration can be horrible.
Billing can be horrible.
Dining services can be horrible.
Buses can be horrible .
Career Services can be horrible
Campus aesthetics can be horrible and is not clean.

Too many people are vowing they will never give another dime, once they graduate. The biggest reason is they felt that their experience was horrible. This is why our giving rate is horrible.

Rutgers Endowment is among the smallest in the Big Ten. It sits at 2.35 Billion, according to Google. Michigans endowment is at $21B. Thats almost 10x. Penn State has an endowment of $5B. Thats is 2x ours.

"Can be horrible" Same can be said for any institution. Its a state school, with state employees, what do you think is going to happen? You have some good apples and bad.

I can confirm this since I didn’t go to Rutgers. Just like I’ve always said every school has their version of the RU Screw as well.
