Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 3232961, member: 622"] Please forgive me for wasting my time, but I was bored, awaiting the football games to start this wonderful New Year's Day 2020. I visited the Scarlet Nation site: [URL]https://rutgers.forums.rovals.com/threads/the-rutgers-vs-syracuse-game-is-going-to-be-great.184797/[/URL] (change in "o" in rovals, to an "i") We all know the schtick, Schiano will resurrect the once "proud" North Jersey School of Snookiisms' football program, thus lifting all Rutgirls programs to be NC in every sport. As such, I "knew" I was headed for some self flagellation of my sports soul, but, being a loyal Orange fan, I fulfilled my duty of scouting upcoming opponents and faced the "fears" of the Rutgirls faithful (all three of them!). Anyway, the thread is golden with half (half of three?) of the posters believing Rutgirls is on the verge of NC and the half attempting to be humbly honest about the status of their program. Regardless, most think that Rutgirls can chalk up the victory against our beloved Orange. So I "took one for the team" and for your viewing pleasure, and to help you avoid hurting your eyes from reading such drivel and losing 15 points off your IQ, I have posted a few examples of the high quality insight of the Rutgirls faithful (with commentary in [B]bold[/B]): [I] What a great game this is going to be. Can't wait. Will they start a separate thread? Are they UConn? Did we have to pay them to play us? Lotsa questions. Fresh-squeezed orange juice is always a little sour and bitter...ask GRob. We should be looking for games SOUTH and WEST of RU...never New England teams. for that reason Syracuse barely qualifies...I don’t get the allure of playing them but it’s better than UConn or bc low and mid level ACC/SEC/B12 or PAC... Syracuse, Temple, and PSU all on the schedule next year giving Greg a chance to reestablish Rutgers as the preeminent program in the Northeast in his very first year. I think he finds a way to run the table and doesn't look back at any of those second rate programs. [/I][B][obviously, the Kool-Aid is very strong, that or someone mixed the Kool-Aid and eggnog][/B][I] Didn’t we drop a home /road series vs. UCLA to play Syracuse? It's fine to play Pitt, Temple, WV and VTech. We should let BC, UConn and Syracuse wither on the vine that is New England recruiting. [/I][B][Never mind the fact Rutgirls has made SU look great the last few years, or the fact that SU had a 10 win season during the same stretch][/B] [I] Giving Syracuse a game where their NYC recruits can play close to home is more impactful than who wins that game. Syracuse is farther away from NYC than PennSt or Maryland. Leave them isolated up there. [/I][B][Minutes from NYC, and they are still irrelevant, while SU is more relevant to NYC and 240 miles away][/B] [I] They are a homecoming type program. [/I][B][Recent perception may warrant the comment, but if true, the comment makes Rutgirls DIII wannabees][/B] [I] Nobody wants to see Rutgers play Temple, Sara, or UCONN. These are buried in the past programs. No upside to Rutgers beating these downtrodden Programs. More to lose if anything. RU Fans and Players want to play marquis programs from other Major Conferences. Playing is Pasadena against a middle of the PAC UCLA team fits the bill. [/I][B][The delusion of grandeur is strong in this one][/B] [I] Never forget, playing these regional loser schools like Sarahcuse and whoever else was an Ash design. Tells you everything you need to know. Rutgers should be playing a national schedule. Getting out of the UCLA game was the dumbest move ever made. [/I][B][Where was this insight the first time Schiano was on the sidelines? Seriously, the Rutgirls OOC is harder now than what Schiano would ever hope for][/B] [I] That is the inherent risk to these games. Much more for us to lose than Sara. Opens the door for momentum for recruiting in Metro NY / NJ for Sara if they win. Not to mention the media attention. [/I][B][Based in truth, though seriously delusional in thinking they are cleaning up NY recruiting][/B] [I] Greg surely wants to spread the Rutgers brand. Ca has thousands and thousands of alums. It would be a strategic move to play UCLA. [/I][B][Should Greg be worried more about spreading the Rutgirls brand to NJ before attempting a nationwide brand roll-out?][/B] [I] No Yukon but I think it's important early on here to establish RU as superior to Sara, Shirley and Fredo because all three schools will continue to recruit New Jersey hard. [/I][B] [While the concept is true, has Rutgirls ever established themselves as superior to anyone? Certainly not PSU, tOSU, UM, MichState, SU, UMD, et al.][/B] [I] Beat the fruit! [/I] Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the above, you may now start your New Year with a laugh. GO ORANGE! [/QUOTE]
