The all-inclusive Rutgers dumpster fire thread...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Also, "very winnable" my ass.

Kyle Flood nixed the idea because he didn't want to risk losing to Syracuse because, he believed, that could hurt the Scarlet Knights on the recruiting trail.

I miss Flood.

Rutgers is going to be a surprise bowl team according to Herbstreit. Might want to put down the pipe, Herbie

Sure sounds like Rutgers would like to play Syracuse. With the changes at Syracuse, I wonder if SU wants to play Rutgers?

My guess is yes. If the AD office was okay playing Army, they will probably be okay playing a similar program in Rutgers.

Not that it matters but I don't believe that is true.

Would it more likely be on campus or at the Meadowlands with the stadium sold 50-50 like Bevo and the Okies?

 

[PhatOrange]

I'd welcome it. Easy trip regional rivalry game. Would be fun.

 

[tipphill]

would love it. easy trip for me from bethlehem pa, keep a profile in nj for recruiting,(my pet peeve) particularly if we beat them consistently.

On campus. Meadowlands doesn't make sense for this one.

Yeah, no way Wildhack goes for off campus unless it's a huge name. He's one of us. He sees them as we do. Roadkill for 20+ years of their history.

I'd love to destroy them. Flood was right. It would hurt their recruiting.

If Rutgers is interested in this game it sounds like they are having attendance problems or are concerned about future attendance problems.

Once the newness and curiosity of the B1G wears off and the blow-out losses to Michigan and Ohio State add up, attendance understandably wanes. New Jersey --- the great majority of whom are not RU alumni --- people will only support winners.

I doubt they see SU as a "Big Name - Sure Win" proposition" with Babers in place. And more losing isn't what they need.

They built their inflated resume on Norfolk State and Howard. That's what they will stick with till the B1G tells them they have to stop,

 

[orangeinjersey]

This is a no brainer. I know some of you old timers swear Rutgers is beneath us, but its a regional opponent, in a recruiting area with a large alumni base. This is a no brainer.

I dislike RU as much as anybody, but how is playing Norfolk State and Howard any different than SU playing Maine, URI, Colgate, or Stonybrook? Every team (with a few exceptions) plays an FCS team each season.

 

[Pyle]

They scared to play us :rolling:

Believe what he's saying is that their big run of "bowl games" where everyone bought the storyline that they were a program on the rise,was built on 4 or 5 Howard/Norfolk State level OOC opponents and 2 or 3 watered down Big East wins. Don't think anyone has a problem with 1 or 2 of that type opponent - it's when you build your entire OOC schedule out of them (example - Baylor, Schiano Rutgers) that people disparage your program for it.

 

[Rocco]

I would LOVE to play Rutgers every year. Not sure why, but I loathe that fan base. Overloaded with olive oil, bath salts and tanning lotion.

Rutty and WFVU. 'em both.

 

[orangeinjersey]

i just read their rivals thread on the subject, does "money" post here. I actually had no clue that SU has 1 more bowl win than RU since 2010. RU loves talking about RECENT history. It doesnt get more recent than that lol.

Theyd rather get curb stomped across the country than play a winnable game vs a regional opponent. Sound logic.

 

[Alsacs]

So basically Rutgers and Flood are why we are stuck playing UConn this year. Frazier would win himself some credit if he came out with this stupid. I hated the UConn series but the fact Rutgers chickened out makes sense.

Yes, he does.

You are actually comparing Rutgers vs. SU to Oklahoma vs, Texas?

It's more like Lehigh vs. Lafayette ...without the history and geographic proximity.

I believe he's talking neutral site game.

Wouldn't that be a step down from playing Army

No. I was just using that as a model for equal ticket distribution at an off-campus venue.
