The all-inclusive Rutgers dumpster fire thread...

[HtownOrange]

Syracuse football has a record of 69-89 since this thread began.

Yet, there remains significant differences.

First, Syracuse lacks a loss of more than half a billion dollars since Rutgers joined the B1G. Add in its losses from the Big East era and the losses covered via other means not considered revenue (TV rights, ticket sales, merchandise, parking, concessions, etc.) and that figure increases immensely.

Second, there remains dignity within the AD. Say what you want, but other schools still respect Syracuse, maybe not the individual teams but as a partner.

Third, Syracuse lacks the Raritan Rube-ism. Nobody claimed SU would be winning championships and looking at another NC.

Fourth, SU plays real football, not the game Rutgers so idolizes in 1869 when they shared the NC with Princeton, splitting the season matches 1-1. It's been downhill for Rutgers since then.

The list goes on, that is enough for now.

Just enjoy the public service this thread provides. Fans of Rutgers opponents enjoy the thread. This thread is often viewed in linked in other fan site threads, with positive reviews (or negative toward Rutgers reviews). Anyway enjoy or ignore, the choice is yours.

They were co nationals Champs with only two teams playing football.

Buttgirls 58-100

0-40 vs. Top 25 teams in that same timeframe (only P4 team that has not beaten one in the last decade)

It's cool you posted our record and left out all the good we've had in those years, while Buttgirls has enjoye ZERO good in the timeframe, which is great

As of March 3rd, 2026, it has been 693 weeks since the Rutgers Scarlet Knights Football team was last ranked in the Associated Press Football poll. Keep Choppin.

I vote for lower left picture.

To be clear, you are saying Rutgers will break the 700 week mark before the end of April. That is quite a feat. It's almost like Rutgers has never been relevant in football.

I mean, who else but Shady could lead Rutgers into the promised land of missed opportunity, poorly run operations, failure on the field, and still get a helicopter for being their best coach ever.

As you said to Rutgers, Jarhead Jim, "Keep Chopping."

Come to Syracuse: where all we got is making fun of Rutgers.

High-school kids have no clue who the Hurleys are. That would be so Rutgers. It's also Women's basketball totally different then coaching Men.

Rutgers $500 million hole.

Rutgers has dug a $500 million hole since joining the Big Ten. Where did the money go?

The university's athletic department reported a staggering $78 million shortfall in 2025.

Not easy to lose $500M in a conference that is oozing money.

Rutty Lacrosse showing how great Rutgers can be!!!
Down 13-3 vs. Princeton at half

Yep, and all for the luxury of being the perennial conference doormat.

Remember the good old days when everyone wanted to join the B!0 and SEC to make money.

And people wonder why this thread exists. Even in a down cycle for SU, our performance is as good or better without the half billion dollar debt and the $360M cash from student fees, general fund, etc.

Best part of the article…

“The cost of doing business by being a Big Ten football program, the coaches salary’s have really climbed quite a bit,” Schiano said. “You get what you pay for. That’s important to me.”

Do they have a fieldhouse yet?

They paid him $6.5 million last year and it goes up to $7.75 million by 2029...
They have paid him almost $29 million to go 31-41...

Pre-season prediction by RutgersAl has them in the CFP next year







I made that up but it's likely not far from the truth.
