Rutgers player indicted for attempted murder
October 30th, 2018 at 6:12 PM ^
*sigh* Yeah, watching Rutgers football makes me want to kill someone too.
October 30th, 2018 at 6:12 PM ^
That's So Rutger!
Fridays on UPN
October 30th, 2018 at 6:13 PM ^
The rest of the team was indicted for attempted football.
October 30th, 2018 at 7:31 PM ^
+1, mostly for your username, as always
October 30th, 2018 at 9:37 PM ^
They were acquitted due to lack of evidence.
October 30th, 2018 at 10:16 PM ^
ahem... "Attempted" football. It is a classic 1L case.
A guy goes to kill his arch rival. He is caught shooting a gun into the rival's body as he slept. The authorities later find that the man had died several hours in his sleep before the culprit arrived. The shooter tries to wiggle out claiming, this guy was already dead - the DA charges him with attempted murder - since the perp didn't know the victim had already died. The Scarlet Knights are attempting football - it is not material whether they succeed or not.
Gavel - GUILTY
October 30th, 2018 at 6:14 PM ^
Maybe he will get an 8 game suspension like Maryland
October 30th, 2018 at 6:57 PM ^
No, this was “attempted.”
October 30th, 2018 at 6:15 PM ^
Rutger gonna Rutger, I suppose.
October 30th, 2018 at 6:17 PM ^
And I was just sitting here trying to figure out which Big Ten East school would try to come up with some way to fit in with the molesters and wife-beaters in the division.
October 30th, 2018 at 6:35 PM ^
well unless they do an investigation with a “outside source” and then ignore the obvious problems, they are better than those other schools.
October 30th, 2018 at 6:18 PM ^
Rutgers? More like Regretgers. That's all I've got.
October 30th, 2018 at 6:18 PM ^
Another great day in the annals of Big Ten football.
October 30th, 2018 at 7:02 PM ^
Jim Delany's crowning achievement as today was a banner day for B1G expansion.
October 30th, 2018 at 11:31 PM ^
Annals has one n too many.
October 30th, 2018 at 6:19 PM ^
maryland killed a guy and rutgers attempted to kill a guy.
can we just get rid of those 2 schools from the big10 now?
i typically don't hang out with murderers and attempted murderers.....
i guess we should kick out the enablers and the pederasts too.
lets get the big 10 back to 10 schools.
October 30th, 2018 at 6:30 PM ^
This times 1 million!! Just throw out the following teams on a "morals" cause:
Rutgers - attempted murderer, ruining the game of football more than CTE
Maryland - actual murderer
PSU - pedo and coverup
Sparty - rapes, pattern of assault, chronic disrespect
Back to ten teams (which kinda fits with calling the conference the BIG TEN).
October 30th, 2018 at 7:12 PM ^
Don't forget about OSU and their culture of telling the truth and respecting women.
October 30th, 2018 at 6:19 PM ^
DJ Durkin reinstated. Rutgers say hold my beer.
October 30th, 2018 at 8:02 PM ^
*Rutger
October 30th, 2018 at 6:22 PM ^
Great additions to the conference, Delaney.
October 30th, 2018 at 6:22 PM ^
How does he even have time for planning a double murder midseason?
October 30th, 2018 at 6:25 PM ^
Probably doesn't go to class?
October 30th, 2018 at 6:27 PM ^
Yes, he definitely seems to lack class.
October 30th, 2018 at 6:27 PM ^
There seriously needs to be a "do over" of the whole "let's add Rutgers and Maryland to the Big Ten" thing.
Can we please drop them out and, if we really want 14 teams in a conference named after the fact that it has TEN teams, add in any of Pitt, ND (not realistic because of their lucrative NBC contract, I know), Buffalo (one of the better MAC teams and still in NY, despite being WAY outside of the TV market that Delaney craves), Virginia, Cincy, or some other non-embarrassing school? Hell, go big drop Rutgers and Maryland and try to get Oklahoma and Texas (pipe dream, and would require shuffling the divisions, but Texas / OK / Wisco / Neb / Northwestern in the West would instantly make that a damn strong division, fairly close to the East's Michigan / OSU / PSU and Sparty contingent).
October 30th, 2018 at 6:50 PM ^
Let's see if the University of Chicago is busy in September, October and November next year.
October 31st, 2018 at 12:14 AM ^
Dang you beat me to it. Football stats:
B1G teams with fewer national championships than U of Chicago (2):
- Wisconsin, Rutger, Purdue, Indiana, Northwestern (Maryland is tied with Chicago)
B1G teams with fewer B1G Titles than Chicago (7):
- Penn State, Indiana, Nebraska, Maryland, Rutger
B1G teams with fewer Heisman winners than Chicago (1):
- Michigan State, Northwestern, Rutger, Maryland, Illinois, Indiana, Purdue
B1G teams with worse top NCAA Division win percentage than Chicago (244-146-30, 0.617):
- Indiana, Northwestern, Rutger, Illinois, Purdue, Maryland, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan State
B1G teams with worse record against Notre Dame than Chicago:
- All of them
October 30th, 2018 at 6:27 PM ^
Fence the linebacker.
October 30th, 2018 at 6:30 PM ^
I'll bet stories like this make Rutgers folks long for the days when the main story in the news was their basketball coach screaming and throwing basketballs at his players faces in practice.
October 30th, 2018 at 6:31 PM ^
Or their former star running back beating his wife.
October 30th, 2018 at 6:36 PM ^
some of the comments on the linked article are pretty bad.
The one about 7 wins and 9 arrests for Chris Ash's tenure as coach is brutal.
that is pretty rough.
October 30th, 2018 at 11:30 PM ^
I think they have a stat for that. It starts with an R.
October 30th, 2018 at 8:25 PM ^
I'm sitting here having a good snort over all these clever jibes and then it dawns on me--there is a trail of carnage across the conference these days. Pretty scary.
October 30th, 2018 at 6:35 PM ^
Oh how I miss the good old days when stretching was the biggest problem in the BIG.
Delaney is a tool. Maryland reinstates Durkin, and Rutgers players have credit card issues and one idiot conspires to kill someone.
Fire Delaney and lets start kicking some of these fucking programs out of our conference. They bring nothing to the party, shit on our carpets, never leave...and we pay them for the priviledge.
Embarrassing....
October 30th, 2018 at 6:39 PM ^
In-season (alleged) crimes don't accumulate "Fulmer Cup" points!
Last August, Rutgers became the only school to win the Fulmer Cup twice. Perhaps they can now do it back-to-back.
October 30th, 2018 at 6:43 PM ^
*music starts*
"Like passes caught by the opposing defense
So are the days of Rutgers football.....
This is MacDonald Carey, and these are the days of Rutgers football"
*music fades*
October 30th, 2018 at 6:59 PM ^
My buddy and I would schedule classes around the 1 o’clock time slot.
We’d meet back at the apartment, pack (oops) up the utensil and watch our soap.....
Good times, man....gooood times....
October 30th, 2018 at 7:01 PM ^
back up or pack up the utensil?
October 30th, 2018 at 6:49 PM ^
GOD DAMMIT RUTGERS
October 30th, 2018 at 6:51 PM ^
That's an individual Rutger.
October 30th, 2018 at 6:55 PM ^
So, if a team's criminal charges for the week exceed the number of points score...does that count as a Rap Sheet Rutger?
I am sure MSU has a few of these in the books.
October 30th, 2018 at 6:56 PM ^
I remember the innocent bygone days when "Everybody murders" was an MGoJoke.
October 30th, 2018 at 7:00 PM ^
Hopefully Patterson won’t ever have to yell “kill, kill!” at the line of scrimmage against this team.
October 30th, 2018 at 7:07 PM ^
They kicked him off the team. Seems like Rutgers the university didn't do anything wrong here. Michigan has had plenty of players who were up to no good and had to leave. Recruiting character is a noble ideal that has little to do with the reality of it.
October 30th, 2018 at 7:21 PM ^
I don't remember a lot of players getting charged with planning double murder midseason at UofM or pretty much anywhere, excluding Miami and Urban-coached teams.
October 30th, 2018 at 7:48 PM ^
Unfortunately guys don't wear a sign on their forehead saying "will plan double murder" when you recruit them or at any other time. Just like Larry Harrison didn't wear a sign on his head saying he's gonna jack off outside coeds' windows. The reality of it is that we have through the decades recruited plenty of bad guys, and it's likely little more than luck that none of them went as far as this dude at Rutgers.
October 30th, 2018 at 7:12 PM ^
October 30th, 2018 at 7:24 PM ^
Let’s just be clear that as a DC resident, I am still wholeheartedly in favor of them playing on the East coast once a year.
I mean, I’d be down to drop Rutger for Virginia or UNC (out of ACC they won’t get away with that shit) in a second but this is an easy game to get to, costs $30/ticket, I can watch w my NYC friends, that is basically a home game.
Somebody’s gotta lose in the Big Ten East, otherwise we talk about how much Indiana sucks. Why not Rutger?
