RU vs Minnesota GAME THREAD :

[bac2therac]

At some point Hobbs has to worry about season ticket holders giving up, donations drying up, and being a laughing stock.

next year season ticket sales will almost defintely be down....we have all the games shoehorned in September with only one game each in Oct and Nov at the stadium with the ridiculous game at Yankee Stadium. Why would people want to pay for blowouts against Washington and OSU to start the season and then an unattractive rest of the schedule. Its going to be ugly next year and Hobbs wont be able to put a pretty spin on it

 

[NY AGENTMAN]

I feel so giddy watching this train wreck. At what point does the team just pack it in?

They already packed it in

 

[cRURah]

Out best running backs are getting splinters on their behinds.

 

[zappaa]

i don't see a lot of coaching going on

 

[Knightmoves]

No one in their right mind thought we would win this game. Anyone who thought so after last week needs serious mental help.

This season is lost. So I am just looking for anything postive, anything that we can build on for next year.

What you say is true. But RU has not shown up to play.

Where is the pride ?

Or is there any pride ?

Very disturbing so far.

 

[RUboston]

Something positive? Maybe we'll force a punt before the game is over.

 

[Jersey Boys]

Where is Martin and Hicks?

 

[RU848789]

Where's Martin and Hicks?

 

[miketd1]

You need a stud pass rusher and lockdown man corners in this defense.

 

[Rokodesh]

This staff treats Goodwin like he's ladanian Tomlinson

 

[Saint Puppy]

Happy to be a part of Minny's highest scoring QTR in a decade - frustrating.

 

[Blitz8RU]

OL can't even hold the D for 2 sec before they collapse the pocket. pathetic

 

[zappaa]

Just shocking bad

 

[koleszar]

And we continue with the Goodwin love fest. Beyond speechless.

 

[redking]

#FreeHicks.

Give me some of that Florida talent.

 

[IMARUFAN]

Where's Martin and Hicks?

I assumed Martin is hurt. But the announcers just said he is fine.

Which raises the question: WTF??!!!!

 

[BlockR]

can we get Schiano back and make Ash the co-Defense cord? just switch coaches?

 

[RUinPAC10land]

Highest scoring quarter since 2006. It feels great being part of another school's record.

 

[RU848789]

Even our special teams suck - three guys couldn't stop a rolling punt...

 

[Caliknight]

Why would you not go for that?

 

[Block R]

C'mon...stop that damn ball before it hits the end zone!

 

[Rufaninga]

dive on that ball!

 

[runroyrun]

I'd go. It's a difference of whether Minny is gonna score in two minutes or three.

 

[zappaa]

What The F do these coaches do

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

How funny was that punt near the endzone. 3 RU guys and no one could down it. Top notch laddies.

 

[RUforlife]

Our talent needs to be upgraded, but it is not as poor as some on this board are leading us to believe. Most of these kids were 3 star recruits, this is not a team of walk-ons. This is a combination of a small talent gap compared to Minnesota and Illinois and very poor coaching. I am starting to doubt whether Ash and his staff are the right fit for this moment in time in Rutgers football.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

That should have been downed easily, and of course it rolls for a touch back.

 

[RU848789]

Where is Martin and Hicks?

Where's Martin and Hicks?

lol...

 

[bac2therac]

if only the donors had their head screwed on straight, we could have had Herman or at worst Narduzzi after 2013 and have been in way better shape right now.

we needed to lose that USF game badly for the future of the program

 

[Knightmoves]

Even our special teams suck - three guys couldn't stop a rolling punt...

This team cannot make a play.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Call timeout and then come out with such an easy play call to defend and stop?

Perfect punt that should have easily been downed inside the 5.

This is a putrid football team with such little talent and smarts on the field.

 

[rufeelinit]

Could Martin still be paying a price for fumbling last week? Hicks was in on the series that lead to a FG.

 

[ArminRU]

Are people seriously complaining about Goodwin? He's a good reason why the offense looks decent today. Want something to complain about? Watch the freggin OLine

 

[zappaa]

Coaching matches our talent

 

[RUSK97]

Ash's biggest problem is he has no clue how to pick assistants.

 

[RUinPAC10land]

Wow! just wow...

 

[RUPitt]

I'm trying to stay positive, but Martin and Hicks on the bench is truly unbelievable. Give Gio some help out there!

 

[formerlyknownasrutgers100]

Could Martin still be paying a price for fumbling last week? Hicks was in on the series that lead to a FG.

That would be weird considering Goodwin also fumbled

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

At what point will Ash walk away?

 

[RUeric]

How in the world Hicks and Martin don't get to play is beyond me. Especially in short yardage. Yes we all knew this season would suck, but the personnel decisions are mind boggling,
