I've read him for years also, living in NJ. If you get past his venom for SU, he actually pretty good. But obviously, he drank the RU Kool Aid (can't say I blame him after having to cover that god-awful team for so many years). But I was taken aback also at the unprofessionalism.I've read Luicci for years. I know he dislikes SU. He's also ticked off that Rutgers was left out of the ACC and he's letting it be known in the paper. Very unprofessional. It would nice to stick it in his face Saturday. It would also be nice if the ACC started playing better on the field so he wouldn't be able to crucify the conference. The ACC has $&!@ the bed this year.
So the ACC is "terrible." The Big East is still worse.
Can't really argue with him this year. The ACC is way down. The BE has three teams in the top 25, the ACC has two. If West Virginia was still in the BE, it would be 4. Miami and Virginia Tech are really hurting the ACC's image this year. BC losing to Army doesn't help.
But West Virginia is not in the Big East, so it doesn't even count with an asterisk.
The 3 Big East teams all need to play each other, so they won't be Top 25 for long. They are all 1 loss away from dropping out. Hopefully one of them happens this weekend.
If it were a stock, where would you put your money on more successful team in the future. VT/Miami or Cincy/Rutgers? (keep in mind that the goal would be to make money on this stock). I'm leaving Louisville out, because if the Big 12 rescues anyone from the sinking ship, it will be them.
No doubt, we'll be better off in the long run. The perception right now just isn't good. I'm really baffled over the play of Miami and Virginia Tech. Just too much talent there to be struggling the way they are.

If you really think Rutgers is a top 25 team,then we are at an impasse. Suffice to say any conference with brand names such as Florida State, Miami, Clemson, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, NCState, and yes even eventually Syracuse and Pitt is going to be head and shoulders above a conference made of of a patchwork of overlooked programs from the flotsam and jetsam of D1 football.

The ACC is down Yes. But his Duke comment is misplaced. Duke has shown remarkable improvement with David Cutcliffe as the coach. He is a remarkable quarterback coach who coached at Tennessee and Mississippi and is responsible for turning out Peyton and Eli Manning. He is now turning out great quarterback play at Duke if you can believe it.
Duke isn't ready to roll into Tallahassee and win yet. That's true. But the 5-1 record is deserved by Duke. I know it seems strange, but so is discussing Rutgers this time of year too.
