Our last quality win?

[REDRICH65]

A true Rutgers fan is usually a masochist.

 

[bac2therac]

Yeah, god forbid anyone actually enjoys a win without finding a reason to cut down the coach/program/other programs/conference/cfb.

Much better to be a miserable whiner all the time.

the thread title asks last quality win, not last win or last participation trophy win

 

[bac2therac]

Are we a quality win, currently?

Are we a quality win for Iowa, for example?

no not even close, a quality win for Iowa would be beating Wisconsin or Nebraska, I think beating a Penn State or Minnesota could be quality wins but are sort of iffy now.

 

[vkj91]

thats a very low bar

I didn't set the bar. Go look at the results of weeks 1-5

Well, you enjoy that. Because, according to the braintrust here we get one of those every 5 years or so.

Think the team might tell you to shove the participation trophy up your urethra if you told them that after a hard-fought "non-quality" win.

ASK AGAIN ON SUNDAY!!!!

 

[Rutgers 2004]

Why not continue going back and give me the quality wins in the Schiano era?

Ok.....

2011 - 10-3 Cincy (a better team than flood ever beat)
2010 - 8-5 Uconn (a conference champ), 7-6 Army - that's 2 teams above .500 in a down year, equaling the best that flood's teams did. again, in a miserable season.
2009 - Uconn, USF, UCF, all 8-5
2008 - 8-5 Uconn, 9-4 Pitt, 8-5 USF
2007 - 8-5 Navy, 9-4 USF
2006 - 9-5 ohio, 9-4 USF, 9-4 navy, 12-1 Louisville

did you have a point, or did you just want to know? cause schiano's track record sh*ts on flood's, then makes flood sh*t and then rubs flood's nose in his own sh*t which is made up of schiano's sh*t.

1979 Rutgers 13-7 over highly ranked Tennessee. That team had Deron Cherry, Bill Pickel, and Dino Maginero.

It's a tough call, do you go based on how good they were that day/week, or do you go by end of the season record?

Both factor. You have teams like ND this year (ok most years ) who aren't who you thought they were. But then you have good teams who suffer key injuries and fall off after you play them at full strength. You should get credit for beating them full strength even though their end of year record might not be that good.

What really sucks, is that there isn't one on the near horizon either. Other than MSU and UM, there isn't a team that we can beat that's considered "quality" left on the schedule this year. And we're not beating MSU or UM.

What's even scarier, is that Rutgers last quality win was the B'ball team upsetting Wisconsin 2 years ago.

you actually just proved my point by listing a bunch of 8 win BE and MAC type teams.
How is that any different than 8-5 Cuse, 10-3 Cinci, 8-5 Navy, or 7-6 Maryland? Point is, when given the chnace RU has blown every chance at a signature win but 1

Schiano (05-11) vs Massey composite ratings

1-10 1-3
11-20 1-2
21-30 1-1
31-40 0-3
41-50 2-1

Flood:
1-10 0-5
11-20 0-1
21-30 0-5
31-40 2-2
41-50 1-3

I see a pretty clear difference here at 3-6 vs top 30 vs 0-11. Obviously Flood played harder schedules the last couple of years, but there it is. Basically it is the difference between having a prayer, and not having a prayer.

08-11 for Schiano doesn't look as good, but at least there's a top 30.

1-10 0-1
11-20 0-1
21-30 1-1
31-40 0-3
41-50 2-0

UNC was a quality win and we kicked their asses all over the field, especially since the following year that same squad turned into an 11 win team.

Unfortunately for us, that pretty much marked the end of the Schiano recruit era.

Trenton 12/25/1776 - Washington vs Hessians.
