Listen. I get the envy from Rutgers fans. But the truth is simply this: Rutgers has sucked soo badly for so long in the only two sports that matter, that nobody wants you.
We made a horrific hire and it sunk our fb program to the depths that we never thought possible. Rutgers used our poor judgment to doggy-paddle its football snout above water. Reaching football mediocrity as its program zenith.
But it wasn't enough to grab anyone's attention.
Our basketball program is perennial top ten. It has cache and appeal, and we've used it to leverage a lifeboat off Gilligans Island. Now we are looking at riches that'll once again allow us to restore our football program to where it was, and possibly rape and pillage your backyard for recruits, while you somehow try to rub two sticks together to start a fire that you hope is noticed by the big ten, while at the same tome pretending to be happy with your shipwrecked conference mates.
I'd be envious as well, but i wouldn't be surprised that rutgers was passed by.
And just add insult to injury, our athletic director has launched a campaign aimed at taking over the only hope that you fanbase has - its claim to own the new York media market. Suggestions that either team owns New York are ludicrous, but our claim is just a footnote - we've escaped this dumpster fire- your equally futile claim is the best hope you have to keep your athletic department from falling off the face of the earth.
I get the anger and envy.
