I will not be attending. I have season tickets but this type of game will not be entertaining and may only leave me feeling bad if we don't win by more than 4 Touchdowns and shut these guys out.

Not to mention the length of the game last week. The first Q last week took 1 hour, with constant TV timeouts etc. The overall game took about 4 hours. Way to much play stoppage with constant 3 and outs, it's not entertaining.

not tailgating today, crew just parking and getting a couple of drinks before we head in. Last week and 11 straight losses will do that. Plus having 3 games in a row also hurts, not worth the effort to do all the prep today on a hot day and be drained so I would collapse when I get home.

Losing counts, also the heat will take a toll on attendence, I expect at least half the students to bolt at half soon followed by the rest of the crowd

I have sister in the hospital I have to visit today or I'd be there. I have never understood why a season ticket holder wouldn't have the time of their life with games like this. We have plenty of OSU, Michigan type games now so what better way to enjoy a Saturday. 3:30 game - perfect, beautiful day- perfect, tail gate early and just have fun not stressing about the game- perfect, get in there, show support and have fun- perfect, after game, you either have time for evening plans or just continue to enjoy a great day with more tailgating after the game.

I like be these game the one time a year we get them anymore...

why would we have the times of our lives...maybe if you like constant losing and boring long games. The losing and consecutive weekends takes its toll eventually. Yes they will win today but its like playing a high school team. There is literally nothing on the line

That's the point, they are not fun anymore when the game are constantly stopped for TV timeouts and bad play.

Because I have friends that I like hanging out with. The whole day is more like going to a fun BBQ with friends.
But, if no one liked me, I could see your point...

but we have done that for the last two weeks and there is another game coming up at the end of the month. Having 4 games in 5 weekends is a deterrent when the program is horrid like it is right now. Lot of committment for a bad product

I can't understand skipping a home game just because we have three home games in a row. We only get 6 home games and it's a long, cold football-less winter ahead of us. Can't miss any. Go Knights!

It'd be nice to go watch RU (likely) win a game. It's most probably the only time this season I'll see one.

I understand Rutgers are not having a good year. But now the excuse for not going to the games went from 12 noon games to Friday night games to now having three weeks in a row? Shoot, you could've sent me some freebies, I would've gone and taken my youth team to see a D1 game today.

Jeezus, man.

if you want to see a rutgers win in 2017 then get over there today, also you will get to see the horse, seems to be a bigger attraction than the game

Selfishly glad to hear this. We're normally 4 hours early, but today because of other commitments, we're having lunch here and getting to the lot around 3. Was very worried about the traffic. Guess I don't need to be.

First off take that sanctimonious comment and shove it up your arse. Second, the team is going to the Kean game since its closer to us and cheaper. If I would've known there would be seats available because people complaining about going to see Morgan St, me and my fellow coaches would've figured out a way to get down there.

And I'll be at the Purdue, Maryland, and Mich St game so see ya then.

Agreed, I'm lucky. I don't hang out with a bunch of whiney little bitches. The guys need our support now more than ever.

Gotta love the folks who don't show up if we're suppose to win or sell their tickets when we're suppose to lose. Amazing fan base we have here.

We're here enjoying the weather and a nice tailgate. Hoping to see a lot of Jonathan Lewis at QB today.

Beautiful day? It's hot. It's humid. Dew point of 69. Yuck.

I'm going to the game today but we decided not to tailgate because I hate humid weather. The weather for the 1st two games? Now that was beautiful.

You were worried about bad traffic for the Morgan State game ?? no, you can rest easily.

An 80 degree day is freaking stopping you? Calling BS on this. For very little cost at Costco get yourself a canopy for shade and enjoy cold beer and grilled food.
80 degree day keeping anyone away SMFH

Last game I attended was Rutgers@Army think it was three years ago. I made the same comment: way too many timeouts. They would take a TO for commercials in the middle of a drive !! When ppl wise up and stop going maybe they'll change it back to how it was in the 90s. Until then deal me out. Not worth the aggravation.

With 5:20 left in the 1st quarter, the stadium is less than half full. I put actual attendance at around 22,000.

Never understood the purpose of these threads that complain about low attendance.

There's no mystery here. If we were contending for the Big 10 championship and pulling in crowds this small, then it would be a problem. But right now this makes sense.
