honestly, I'm fine with that.
If I wanted to follow a team that wins national championships by playing dirty, breaking rules and making morally reprehensible personel decisions (and turning out players of questionable moral character as a result), I'd root for Ohio St, Alabama, Oregon or Clemson instead.
That’s fine . But then be fine with fans not wanting to show up to watch the team get drilled.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. No.
You’re doing that ”legend in your own mind” thing again. “Board cred.” ROFL.
Tell me, what is this “board cred”, that you imagine you have, actually worth? Does it earn you money? Does it help anybody in need? Does it get you job offers? Does it make the team better in some way?
Brsgging on the internet is bad enough. Doing so without actually having accomplished anything worth bragging about is just plain embarrassing.
Getting caught shooting a paintball gun in a field at paper plates should be forgiving, not shooting out of a car at people. That is an outrageous thing to do. It is hard to understand why he took part in that. I know he has very good parents who brought him up right.
We’re missing the Meltons, AC Hurt??, and we don’t have a go to RB (try Aaron or Kyle or Wright Collins -Pacheco is not the answer).

It means when someone knows what they’re talking about talks, you listen. They have been right before and will be right again. A better question is what do you disagree with what I have posted in regards to schiano having this team better in year 5 than year 2? Do you not believe that?
That’s like telling some single loser guys from this site to just go ahead and date Scarlett Johansson or Jennifer lopez.
You missed the point. Again.
And also once again, you are making a guess where the chance of being right is at least 50/50. Nobody but you, apparently, is going to give you any credit for guessing right about that. It requires no intelligence or knowledge at all. You could flip a coin.
Ok . And there is something to be said for the guy that tells you it’s 99.9 percent and you think it’s 50/50 . The guy may know what the hell he’s taking about
Show your work, Nostradamus. Otherwise, you’re just making **** up. And once again, nobody gets credit for that except fiction writers.
And ok again since you requested
My board cred was earned. Please stop with your posts.
That’s not showing any math. You said 99.9% probability. Show how you arrived at that figure.
All you’re doing is highlighting two other instances where you guessed at something with better than 50/50 chances of guessing right. Nobody gets credit for that. We can all do that. A gorilla could do it. A freaking horse could do it.
But you know what? Neither the gorilla or the horse would, upon having guessed correctly, brag about it. Making you lamer than a gorilla and a horse.
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and make a guess with 99.9% probability of being right. I’m predicting you STILL won’t get it.

Max Melton could help, he would have not changed the outcome in this game. He should have to work his way back, once his legal issues are resolved. Here’s a reality check for some. RU will not seriously challenge for the B1G title in football any time in the next decade. GS needs to set the bar high but RU is not committed to winning at the highest level and to me that is not a bad thing. If we can get to a consistent 7 - 9 win team in this conf, it will be fantastic. Big Bowl games and much respect.
I just did it a moment ago when you posted the above post. Should I create a thread praising myself?
We may have personnel problems, but Pacheco is not one of them.
You think Saban would produce national championships with the Rutgers alumni support vs. Alabama's?
Disagree. Pacheco doesn't have the gears that MSU back has. I'm thinking Wright Collins might be the fastest of our backs but don't know.
I just think we need to do something different...until it works.
MO
I like Pacheco, but he's not an elite back.
Maybe if we used him for as FB ?? a la Brian Leonard.
He doesn't bust the big ones...and the small 1 / 2 yard gainers leave us in difficult situations on 2nd / 3rd downs.
MO
We are in a league playing at the highest level , but you say we are not committed to win at this level . That is not just a bad thing - it’s a terrible thing. We shouldn’t be here if we aren’t gonna commit to winning .
Any idiot knows that Schiano is the real deal....very glad we have him!
If he had MSU's talent they would have scored 50+....and limited us to under 10.
MO
One is good and protected their QB.... one is not.
And we've lost at least one O lineman who started...maybe two? Next year we get a several O lineman, but that still puts us 2 years away...UNLESS we use the portal wisely.
MO
Don’t shoot fellow students from a car on campus
This may sound harsh but, would Alabama alumni
accept a below average head coach, Tennessee alumni didn't.
Not positive about your meaning, but I think if the Tennessee alumni had it to do over they'd have made a different decision. And even Tennesse never let their talent level sink as low as RUs did in 2019
How do you agree with that? Characterizing the incident as "He shot them with a weapon and intent"? Using language like that is unfair, misrepresents what actually happened, and is needlessly inflammatory.
He shot them [with a spitball shooter] with intent [to gross them out].
He shot them [with an egg in a slingshot] with intent [to cover them with egg].
He shot them [with a paintball gun] with intent to [splat them with paint].
He shot them [with a gun] with intent [to kill them].
Using language like "he shot people with intent" or it was "a drive by shooting" is wrong and unfair to the players involved. It wrongly connotes people with guns intending to kill people. Not people with paintball or eggs intending to prank people. I'm certainty not advocating they get off with no punishment. Even if the prank was mean spirited and reckless, the "intent" was still to prank someone. Not to kill or seriously injure them. But the language a few people here are using is way over the top and and seems to be arguing for a punishment that fits an actual gun crime with intent to seriously injure or kill people. Football players are actual people and deserve to have fair punishments that fit their actual transgressions. Not get run out of town by an internet mob.

This may be the first time in history that the NJ and national media are handling an RU scandal with more accuracy and fairness than some of the RU fanbase. The media cover the Melton suspension as "a paintball incident".
Imagine if they said "star corner Max Melton won't be available for the game today as he was suspended for 'a drive-by shooting'". Or "he was suspended for shooting people with a weapon with intent".
If there was any reasonable way for the scandal mongering media to spin this as a "drive by shooting", they would. The fact that they don't is just further evidence how far off base some people here are.
And just to head off anyone who tries to paint a strawman of me and say I'm advocating for them not to be punished, or that I condone this: I'm not and I don't. I'm advocating that the punishment fit the actual crime.
You aren't right here at all!! Actually your concept is stupid beyond belief.
My concept is get max back. But I get it why he’s suspended.
I just want our team to win
Yes.. use the Portal like MSU did . We have many positions that need immediate need.
No one cares about your board cred. They’re not coming back till the charges are resolved. Not sure why this is so difficult for you to understand. Rutgers is not other places.
