Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 448729, member: 780"] By my being called out --- yet again --- feel like a person playing the game "Battleship". That's the game where you opponent has his ships set up on the board that you can't see. You fire out rounds to grid coordinates and the opponent has to tell you whether that's a hit or a miss. When I read my name in these posts, I know I have had a lot of hits on the RU garbage scow. It's gratifying to know that my literary work hasn't gone unread or unfelt. I'd really like them to post a YouTube video of any of them going into a purple rage, sputtering in anger like Rumplestiltskin after reading one of my pithy observations. That would be really great. Their itch with SU and SU fans is that we never took Rutgers seriously. We never let them escape the taint of long term losing. We never considered being the "rival" they so much wanted (or thought they should have to serve as some sort of badge that they weren't small time) My advantage in this has always been that I know the truth. I know --- and those of them with a brain know --- that the B1G wasn't interested in Rutgers. Rutgers was the vehicle to get to the cable subscribers in NJ. No one wanted Rutgers the school or the athletic program as was proven by the multiple expansions starting in 2003 in which they were never taken. If you want to see the RU future all you have to look at is their basketball program in the Big East. They were in a premier conference in a sport in which 2 or 3 players can make you competitive and they failed miserably over a 21 year period. And now these delusional souls believe that they will somehow be competitive in the Big Ten? The schools that actually add viewers and value to the ACC and B1G and Big 12 had already been taken in the first four waves of expansion. This latest move by the B1G was about cable boxes. They chose two schools that couldn't say "no" because they were both operating at a huge loss every year with no hope on the horizon of getting close to breaking even. [/QUOTE]
