The all-inclusive Rutgers dumpster fire thread...

I would like to pass along my compliments to the RU fan on their board who just posted the most insightful comment ever made about RU football and their fans.

He said, "Rooting for Rutgers football is like rooting for the 1962 Mets"

You have to have been around in 1962 to appreciate that so if you were born after 1946, you probably won't really understand how bad the Mets were in their first year and who the Mets fans were and why.

They were stunningly inept. When Mgr Casey Stengel asked, "Can anybody here play this game?", no one complained.

The fans that flocked to the Mets must have been Yankee haters left over from the departure of the Dodgers and the Giants. Or maybe there is some portion of NYers who like rooting for losers.

But unlike baseball, where the worst teams get the first choice in the draft, in CFB it's the opposite. So RU will not be getting Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman and Gentry anytime soon.
 
We are building a program.

We have a plan.

We have a vision.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Part of a rebuild is the demolition. Year 1 was planning, tear 2 was permitting, year 3 is demolition, year 4 will be clean up (may spill over into year 5) Year five will be forms (code for digging a deeper hole, while implying a much taller building, is really just because they haven't a clue what they are doing), Year 6 will be foundation (an excuse for not doing anything the previous five years), Year 7 etc., etc. etc., until they can buy Ash out or they actually reach the end of his contract.
 
What about Sister Mary Elephant?

At least we can look forward to getting our “Basketball Jones” on. They haven’t made the dance since what, ‘91?

A parent of one of my former students was on that team. They made the tourney on the backs of two Syracuse transfers, Duncan and Hughes.
 
Found this on nj.com today in an article about Ash taking over the D:

"Reply to @Heywood Jablomie: the real fans are bashing Rutgers on our own. You can just sit back enjoy and stop being a moron. "

Good stuff and true. The fan meltdown is glorious to behold. ,

That's kinda like, "Hey! You'd better get out of here! I'm the only one allowed to beat up my little brother!"
 
From Michigan's MGoBlog opponent recap of "Rutger" for this week:

Rutger (1-6, 1-0 Sun Belt)


Last week: Lost at Maryland, 34-7

Recap: Oh come the hell on.

clip_image003_thumb_0.png


This is the 7th time since 2016 that Rutger has averaged fewer than three yards per pass in a game. Over that stretch, the rest of the Big Ten COMBINED has six such games. Only one other team – Iowa – has had as many as two. This is the sixth time in the last 27 games they have been held to under 50 yards passing. For comparison, in the last 27 games, Georgia Tech – a triple option team – has been held to fewer than 50 passing yards only five times.

Every pass they threw in the last 29 minutes of the game was intercepted. Every. Single. One.

It took Michigan exactly one pass attempt against Maryland to accumulate more receiving YAFHAF (yards after a fullback hurdles a fool) than the Scarlet Knights had total receiving yards in the entire game.

This team is as frightening as: What if this – football, life, Earth – is all a simulation in some super-advanced Sim City program, and the player decides to quit the game? Tell me it isn’t possible; Rutger Football does have the general feel of a kid who got bored and decided to unleash a hurricane and an alien invasion and three dozen riots. Fear Level = 0.6

Michigan can sleep soundly about: Out of 130 FBS teams, Rutger are:

  • #130 in points per game (15.1)
  • #128 in yards per play (4.17)
  • #128 in yards per pass (4.5)
  • #130 in passer rating (77.3)
  • #130 in INTs (17) and INT rate (7.5%)
  • #130 in turnover margin (-13, or -1.86 per game)
  • #130 in plays of 20+ yards (14)
  • #126 in average field position (25.7)
  • #129 in Standard Down Success Rate (34.9%)
Michigan should worry about: Are bees still dying at an alarming rate?

When they play Michigan: The FCC may have to step in.

Next week: vs. Northwestern, noon, BTN (Rutger +20.5)
 
Not sure if this is new or old. Some OL names Hanson decommitted. It appears it happened today.
