No  need to be so defensive- yours was just the latest in a long line of "Rutgers centric" posts that appear on this board, & that's why you're being mentioned, that's all.
Frankly, I call BS on your "being as interested" if some other players had done the same thing because as its been pointed out ad-nauseum, what Rice did wasn't unusual or unique- its been done b4, regularly.  I'll bet you even money that another intro will go the exact same way every week this season. Lets see how many of those you'll breathlessly post on this forum.
As to why "Garbage State" fans talk about us... well, that should be obvious: Its worked to their advantage to mention us as a rival.
Its a little like what Providence College bball fans are doing with UConn. They constantly try & start some  w/ UConn fans just to get their attention. The smart UConn fan will ignore them, because they know that PC's program will never match theirs for history and tradition. Conversely, the moronic, knee-jerk UConn fan will mindlessly engage the PC fans, giving them equal status by virtue of their attention. That's just dumb, IMHO.
That, IMO, is what Rutgers-Obsessed SU fans haven't quite grasped yet...that RU hasn't earned that from us, no matter how many mid-level bowls and FCS victories they've mustered over these last 8 years.
Its not that hard. Seriously.

Btw- Didn't enjoy the game...but always, LGO!;)
