“Rutger” ... WTF???
November 8th, 2018 at 4:17 PM ^
Good question. I don't really get it either. Rutger or Rutgers... Why are we calling Rutgers Rutger?
November 8th, 2018 at 4:30 PM ^
Peoples level of being offended knows no bounds. For goodness sakes it's a freaking tongue in cheek joke. "Rutger" = a funny word that equals epic failure. It is related to "Rutgers" because "Rutgers" football is essentially an epic fail and a joke of a football program.
November 9th, 2018 at 7:51 AM ^
wait... there's more than one Rutger?
November 8th, 2018 at 4:36 PM ^
I asked this question several weeks ago and basically got a bunch of snarky “go fuck yourself” responses.
November 8th, 2018 at 4:58 PM ^
Welcome to MgoBlog.

Go fuck yourself for moaning about being told to go fuck yourself.
Sorry, that's the only marginally funny thing I can think of in response.
November 8th, 2018 at 7:17 PM ^
I really don’t understand the Rutger thing, but I also don’t have a problem with it, but I do find this thread the funniest thing I’ve read in some time!
November 8th, 2018 at 5:20 PM ^
Try again
November 8th, 2018 at 6:57 PM ^
Go F yourself. We can't make fun of opponents now?
November 8th, 2018 at 7:14 PM ^
Really? Cool. Now go fuck yourself.
November 8th, 2018 at 9:11 PM ^
Go fuck yourself. Sorry on a time crunch, had to dispense with the snark.
November 8th, 2018 at 10:26 PM ^
Never understood why being told to “go fuck yourself” is considered an insult? Geez some of us enjoy masterbation.
November 8th, 2018 at 10:53 PM ^
Jim Delaney is one of us?
November 9th, 2018 at 12:57 PM ^
If you like it so much, you should learn how to spell it.
November 10th, 2018 at 12:56 AM ^
True. I know how to spell your mom’s name tho.
November 8th, 2018 at 4:44 PM ^
When they win more than 1 conference game we can add the s!
November 8th, 2018 at 5:50 PM ^
Fans getting all big headed now that UM is at the top are the first to go ape shit if we fall. I see no need to talk shit, especially when the team sucks. That’s like picking on the running ability of someone on crutches. What do you do if you lose a race to the team onncrutches after you’ve been cocky as hell at them for just existing?

Thanks for double-posting, so I could downvoted you twice. Once for the strawman about how other people will feel, and the second for the shittiest attempt of the year at making a meaningful analogy .
November 8th, 2018 at 9:12 PM ^
Come on guys. It’s harmless fun.
November 8th, 2018 at 4:45 PM ^
We should really just call them Rut.
November 8th, 2018 at 5:17 PM ^
LOL at the ad on this thread
November 8th, 2018 at 5:33 PM ^
When they earn the “S” we will give them the fucking “S”. Until then they are fucking Rutger.
November 9th, 2018 at 12:19 AM ^
We'll, besides the whole corruption issue with the AD and numerous coaches, there's also sucking bad at sports. rutger will get the upper case "r" and the "s" back when they can at least field a somewhat competitive sports team and clean up the corruption.
November 8th, 2018 at 4:17 PM ^
May the enlightenment commence.....
November 8th, 2018 at 4:17 PM ^
Because there's only one of them?
November 8th, 2018 at 8:12 PM ^
This makes sense. Rutger, singular. Let's not encourage multiple Rutgers. One is already too many.
November 8th, 2018 at 11:26 PM ^
Double dumb ass on you
November 8th, 2018 at 4:19 PM ^
Rutger is just a term being used for bad play and stats.
you fumble 4 times and have 4 int but complete 4 passes in a game....that’s a Rutger.
It is like being munsoned.
November 8th, 2018 at 4:27 PM ^
Yeah that's not it at all.
November 8th, 2018 at 4:38 PM ^
Sure it is. When you have as many fumbles and int in game as you do completions, that is a Rutger.
November 8th, 2018 at 5:16 PM ^
It's about how one team's stats compare to the other's. Not how a team's stats compare to its own. If we score 40 points and you get 30 passing yards, that's a rutger.
November 8th, 2018 at 6:30 PM ^
Oh ok got ya. Thanks for that. I just seen other threads where any team did anything bad, someone would call it a Rutger so I was going by those.
November 8th, 2018 at 7:20 PM ^
The Rutger stat thing came way after people started referring to them as Rutger. It's also a thing on off tackle empire, and has been for maybe 2 seasons. It's just a pejorative due to how bad they have been and not being worthy of all the Rutgers.

Also, after Michigan grabbed Jabrill and Gary (and 4-5 other kids from NJ) in 2 years, Rutgers fans got pissy about "fencing in the Garden State" to keep the good players in NJ. They are trying to make this a rivalry (which is good for them, but their team is garbage).
November 8th, 2018 at 4:26 PM ^
Rutger was coined by the guys at Crimson Quarry in 2016.
Other Plans to Make Rutger Great Again
First what you'll notice is that we'd like to change the name of the University, officially. Rutgers may be a well-known name in New Jersey, but for people who matter, the "s" is too much work for a place that just doesn't matter. But we can make it matter.
Because in addition to hiring a great coach and dropping the "s," we'd like to put together a proposal to apply for admission to the Big Ten. Rutger doesn't belong in that conference, but there's no harm in trying. There's really nothing to lose when you try to do something that makes absolutely no sense.
November 8th, 2018 at 6:38 PM ^
They're also a great follow on Twitter, even if only for the banter with Purdue's blog and Rutger faithful. Here's another CQ classic:

Rutger people calling Rutger Rutger kinda legitimizes it, I'd say; I had a hearty chuckle reading that.
The trick is to keep using it creatively. I was thinking today that it was getting stale, but this post--weirdly--kinda revived it.
November 8th, 2018 at 9:08 PM ^
Those aren't RU fans; it's an Indiana blog.
November 9th, 2018 at 1:57 PM ^
Umm it’s rutger
November 8th, 2018 at 4:19 PM ^
Haven't you heard? They are our rival. This week is a rivalry game, just ask them.
November 8th, 2018 at 4:46 PM ^
Man, you just pissed off all dozens of The Illinoi fans.
November 8th, 2018 at 4:20 PM ^
You've got some catching up to do, my friend.
November 8th, 2018 at 4:20 PM ^
Can't tell if serious...
November 8th, 2018 at 4:24 PM ^
Stop being so crabby!
