Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 3218278, member: 5685"] Again missing the point. SU is drivable but it is very far from local. I have made the trip 6 times a year for 20 years. It isn’t a short drive, especially for families who are more likely to have stops, which I generally avoid. Do you really think a four hour trip is a draw? Even more so when we don’t play Temple, Rutgers, Maryland, Penn State, UConn, West Virginia as often as we used to. Just being drivable is not going to give us a sizable advantage. Do you really think that makes a difference vs WV, Pitt, BC, MD? RU being local has an advantage. The B1G with northeast schools and a higher football profile is an advantage, even for schools like Purdue. Without an assistant with NJ ties on the staff, it will be very hard to pull anything outside of under the radar kids. We can get kids like Chibane, Davis, Spruill but those aren’t the kids Shady is going after anyway. [/QUOTE]
