The all-inclusive Rutgers dumpster fire thread...

UCONN for the win.

Rutgers is taking lots of SHI* on social media for new stadium name

Rutgers announced a massive new naming rights deal for its football stadium Friday that is a big upgrade from its previous partnership, but people can't get over the name.

SHI_ Stadium.

"Just missing one letter. As usual, Rutgers has low T."

 

[WeeWoo]

The next big coup is the planned announcement of the brand new Kohler bowl to be hosted at the SHI* center.

Co-sponsor should be Ex-Lax. Or maybe they want to sponsor their lacrosse team instead?

 

[TexanMark]

Will the nickname be the Stain or the Smear?

"Shi Shed" fits Rutgirls

SHI (t) Rac kinda has a ring to it.

“While Rutgers didn’t officially announce the financial terms, a person familiar with the contract told NJ Advance Media it’s a 7-year deal starting at $1.25 million and increasing by $100,000 annually to $1.85 million in 2025-26.”

The name is to be pronounced as “S”, “H”, “I”, “Stadium”.
We’ll have to see (err, hear about, since we don’t watch their games) which announcer messes this up first. I’m sure RU’s conference mates will have a ball with this on their boards (“We’re playing this week at the SHItShow”).

This blurb says what the financial terms are but doesn't say who is paying who. My guess is Rutgers couldn't get anyone to give them money so the univeristy is paying SHI Tech just to have a "named" stadium.

And, is SHI a made up company like Initech???

Now there’s something you don’t hear very often...

Wait, that stadium naming isn’t a joke?

Rutgers Forces Louisiana High School to Change Its Logo

"Among the insults heaped upon Rutgers' football team, which is coming off a 1-11 season that ended with 11 consecutive losses, is that the trademark battle will represent Rutgers' only victory this fall.

"We have more Division-I players than they (Rutgers) does," read another post.

"They want their R and I get that," Durrett said. "I'm not sure we were hurting their brand or their ability to make money off of it. They are are the Scarlet Knights, is that right? And we're the Ruston Bearcats. They're two different things."

Bravo, Rutgers. You've made people in Louisiana aware that you suck that otherwise might never have known.

Waste management would be a fitting name.

I feel like we're being punk'd.

One couldn't write a blazing dumpster fire skit any better.

What. In. The. Actual. Fock.

This post literally had me LMFAO-

"Since we're going to be stuck with this name, we might as well have some fun with it. Come up with your best fake headlines related to SHI Stadium. We'll go through them on the next episode.

Some examples:
Rutgers Lays Turd at SHI Stadium
Holy SHI: Rutgers Upsets Ohio State
SHI for Brains: Coaching Gaffe Leads to Home Loss

To those of you who don't want to have fun with this, I implore you to not comment with your displeasure. We're not just going to pretend that they didn't invite all of us to call it Stadium.

Rutgers is advertising football tickets on Facebook. Some of the responses are pretty embarrassing.

oh, well, Ruston has nothing to worry about, Rutgers is giving them a 10 year window to stop using the logo, and by then, Rutgers won't have a football program anymore. problem solved

 

[Hoo's That]

Rutgahs has been around for just over 250 years. You'd think they would have learned by now that the first step to getting yourself out of a hole is to STOP DIGGING!

They would have learned that, if they hadn’t gone to Rutgers.
