Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 1065201, member: 626"] They were at their best, when we were at our worst- a period of what, 7 years? That does not equal a rivalry. In that time they won NO BE Championships, so it wasn't like they dominated the league & we were chasing them. Rutgers was literally a flash-in-the-pan program that achieved mediocre status after 200 years of playing the sport. They were 5-5 vs us in the 2000's, and 2-1 in the 2010's. Overall we lead that series 12-30-1. The only rivalry that exists with Rutgers is in the minds of some message board yahoos who during a time of massive insecurity about our own program, focused their attention onto an improving Rutgers team. They are not our rivals, never have been. Its more a reflection of some of our fans that we'd give THEM the privilege of calling them our rivals. They never earned it, didn't deserve it, and some of our fans should be ashamed to want to give it to them so easily. JMHO [/QUOTE]
