Guy, they've been to 9 bowl games since P was fired - we've been to 4. As I mentioned in my last post, they've won 24 more games that us in that same span. Sure, they scheduled SMARTER than we did (thanks a lot Dr. Gross and Herm Frazier!). But again, the perception is reality.

My point was never from an overall historic context. You aren't comprehending that. Of course we are a better program since 1900. I am more concerned with the last 10-15-20 years (age of our recruits). The PERCEPTION amongst that demographic is that Rutgers is a better program. That is why they have the 6th ranked class in the country. It sickens me to type that but it's reality and one win vs. Clemson three years ago isn't going to change that - just like having more success over the past 20 years isn't going to change the fact that we are historically a better program than the Girls over the lifetime of the sport.

I get your point regarding NJ recruiting and it definitely makes sense. I would only argue that we are targeting a different quality of recruit which can be quantified by the recruiting websites, regardless of bias. Personally, I do think we should be recruiting Jersey more heavily. It's arguably (between Western PA) the most talent laden area within a 3/4 hour drive of campus that we've got and we proved we can compete there with landing Duce.
