The all-inclusive Rutgers dumpster fire thread...

[JeremyCuse]

As always for matchups like this - I will be rooting for the meteor strike.

But, failing that, I am torn:
I never, ever, ever root for State Penn.
But - Rutty getting shut out of a bowl by a lame-duck Nitwit kitty team would be delicious.
I can picture them diving at knees during the victory formation already.

Other side of the coin:

SUNJ wins, they sneak into bowl eligibility with another 6-6 record, and likely Shady stays there for another decade.

... which benefits US, because Fran will clean up in NJ crootin.

So, in order of preference:
1 - meteor strike




2 - Rutty sneaks out an ugly W.





3 - Rutty loses in some excruciating manner.

This is easy, root for Penn State. Rutty failing to make a bowl game is way more impactful then PSU losing.

Option #1, please.

Ohio St. just wants to not get anyone hurt for Michigan game. The Buckeyes will Milton Berle this game.

I'm going to go off the board and wish upon both teams and their staffs explosive diarrhea.

Rutgers Information Director response:

"No, you don't understand. They are still tailgating and will be inside shortly. You just took the photo early to create a scoop or storyline to spite Rutgers.". And then more whiny drivel and mutterings supposedly in support of Rutgers and the media conspiracy to destroy them.

 

[Hoo's That]

More and more sports teams are calling a game a sellout just because all the primary market tickets are sold, not because every seat has a fanny in it.

 

[JarHeadJim]

 

[Moontan]

Did they sell out of food, beer, or something else?
If the seats were sold out then their owners clearly didn't want to attend.

 

[djorange1989]

This is similar to when they lose to Ohio State by “only” 45 points and call it a win

Rutgers is "special." Not in a good way.

 

[721Comstock]

Rutgers is "special." Not in a good way.

“Special” in the Olympics way.


Minus any of the charm and sweetness of watching them overcome challenges to be their best selves.


Don’t go full Rutgers.
You never go full Rutgers.

 

[HtownOrange]

Don’t go full Rutgers.
You never go full Rutgers.

Rumor has it that:

- New Jersey convicts are given the choice of prison or go full Rutgers, to date, every convict has chosen prison.
- John Thompson was given the choice of coaching Georgetown or going full Rutgers. He chose the lesser of two evils.
- Custer was given the choice of facing all the norther plains Indians or going full Rutgers, he chose the mercy of a defeat in battle.

SU certainly is following that trend. Not sure why we're laughing at Rutgers over this.

I don't think there's a team in sports that doesn't announce total tickets sold.

That being said, I know quite a few RU fans that have STs and sell a lot of the tickets as they can only attend 5 or so games per year. They were a "hot ticket" the last few years despite the record.

Hmm a hot Northeast coaching name… oh and ha ha Rutgers. They couldn’t get to .500 with two high lottery picks, what else would you expect?

I first read tbat as:

“CCSU now has two wins over a high major opponent,
and also defeated Boston College.”
