My hatred of Rutgers doesn’t have jack squat to do with conference jealousy and is only tangentially related to recent losses.  Rutgers is a garbage program which has spent its entire existence aspiring to mediocrity.  Syracuse spent decades treating Rutgers as a cupcake to beat up on as a homecoming game.  Then about 20 years ago, Syracuse dropped off badly - and Rutgers succeeded in their ambitions to get within a stone’s throw of “average”.  That led to several Rutgers wins over Syracuse.  And I hate that - not because of Rutgers specifically, but because it means we’re no longer at the cool kid’s table but are stuck eating our lunch with a fat pathetic loser like Rutgers….which means we might be losers now too.  Playing and beating them means nothing, it’s not like that’ll impress anyone.  But losing to those clowns is just another kick to the crotch reminding me how little relevance Syracuse has had in college football for 20+ years.

Penn State doesn’t gain anything by beating us - but they don’t mind playing us since there’s a negligible chance they’ll lose.  That I hate Rutgers because I don’t feel the same way about playing them says very little about Rutgers (and nothing positive) - but says a lot about where Syracuse football is right now.
