- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
I can officially say you won’t be attending this game or have ever left the state of NJ.

Both teams have lost 3 in a row. Things are getting a little warm for USC football and HC Lincoln Riley out there. They have had significant leads in the games they have lost. A lot of criticism about not putting teams away. Unfortunately it may be bad timing for RU:
USC - 45. RU - 20
USC - 45. RU - 20
If this happens Lincoln Riley will be fired the moment the clock hits 0.0.
Unfortunately we’ve seen this drill before.
USC 52
RU 10
Call me quite concerned about the status / fragility and overall lack of talent on the team.
USC - 44
Rutgers - 13.

I love how he acts like the conference realignment was somehow a surprise or a shock. They came willingly into the b1g. They could have held the PAC together…all the schools that left, chose not to. They made their bed…
Two games...
Refs 1 - Rutgers 0 (USC will get help but they probably won't need it)
USC 31 - Rutgers 20 (and I "never" predict losses.. Please, Rutgers, prove me wrong)
Yes, I often complain about refs.. because they tend to screw us. Doesn't always happen.. but in Big Ten games.. pretty common. "real" Big Ten teams get calls. Star programs get calls. Some Big Ten HOME teams get calls (looking at you, Iowa).
I suspect Big Ten had to add west-coast Pac 12 officials teams and I think we'll have some former PAC officials for this game. But midwest or west coast refs.. do any of them have any fondness for New Jersey or East Coast folk?

Have noticed that RU's "old friend" Jerry McGinn has officiated several games on the West Coast.
I have not done any research on how the Big Ten expanded ref crews.. but I do suspect midwestern crews travel everywhere and the new crews would do the same. And I doubt its a case of, say, when OOC visitors come they often bring refs from their conference.. or at neutral venues they bring refs from a neutral conference (I doubt that is always the case).Have noticed that RU's "old friend" Jerry McGinn has officiated several games on the West Coast.
Come to think of it.. what does Notre Dame do? Do they hire refs from other conferences to do their games.. when it is up to them?
Refs…hmmmmm…I mean look at the SEC getting a dose of it in the form of what happened in Austin. Luckily UGA was a bit much for uterus to overcome.
Greg brings all you gutless, fair-weather, ignorant, effeminate cheapskate fans back into the fold: RU 31, USC 27
Prediction 1:
Rutgers no punt returns (easy bet, in the unlikely event USC even punts once, we FC as always)
USC 10 punt returns
Prediction 2:USC 45
RU 10
Prediction 3:
Schiano postgame quotes: "we're not there yet" and "we had opportunities and "we'll continue to Paul Revere until we break through"
