Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 2698481, member: 780"] Don't worry about Rutgers. Rutgers' offense was having the temerity to suggest we were their rival. After 100 years of having no almost no football program (or athletic program) to speak of they got competitive in football for a brief period. Rutgers fans decided that SU should be their rival. Having never had a rival before, they weren't exactly sure what one looked like. But they thought that if SU could be their rival, they could sort of hitchhike on our tradition. Because we were in a down period, many SU people found this beyond insulting. (No matter how "down" we were, we had not fallen to the level of having a school with the absyml history of Rutgers as a "rival"!) It might be sort of like UAB announcing that Mississippi State was their rival. So the very long Dumpster Fire on here is really all about derision for their puffed-up brief period of football competitiveness. [/QUOTE]
