OT: Some Rutgers supporters think it is underpaid by Big Ten
Especially "buttsnake" for resolving the 404 error and enabling me to "poke" at the name.
Hey Rutgers, win some games, win some fans. The AD revenue will follow.
I know, ro-ight-0, let's see that actually happen shall we. Eastern Michigan may ambush you.
Fixed OP, must have been just after your reply
In the three years Rutgers has been in the Big 10, John Hopkins University has more athletic team championships than they do. Rutgers is a full participant in all men's & women's.
JHU - 1
RU - 0
Let that sink in. JH's only sport is lacrosse.
Eh. NCAA national champs, you mean right? I bet a TON of schools don't have any of those in the last 3 years.
No, not NCAA, just Big 10 champs. JHU is a B1G member for one sport. Rutgers is terrible at anything athletic. It's almost shameful, no it actually is shameful! Maryland on the other hand is 3rd in the B1G in the same timeframe behind OSU (19) and UM (17) with 15 B1G Titles.
Who has time to pay attention to Rutgers, I know. Look at their win tally for any team though, men's or women's and it takes suck to a new level across the board. The only beneficiary to them being in the B1G is Purdue.
Made more than they made in AAC prior to getting into B1G
Wait we're paying them? I thought they'd be happy enough just getting to hang out with the cool kids
....they think they are the "Cool Kids"....
Help me with this, the female gender look normal and maybe even cute, but why do the male gender go for the pan-fried look???
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Cheesebawls. Steak Sandwiches. CHEESEBAWLS.
those are northern european kids at a teen nightclub wearing copious amounts of bronzer. Look at the other people in the bacjground
Because you can see like 7 other white people in the photo? That doesn't say a whole lot.
Thinking of them as Jersey Shore kids fits what I want to believe, so I'll continue thinking that.
Amos and Andy of Italians,
Make America Orange Again
Can we through them back?
Babies.
one would think that they could do better than they have been. I see no momentum and no plan to improve. They should be happy to have the deal they have now; when they are "full membes" they will be stealing from the rest of the conference with both hands.
he seemingly writes 1 "Everyone fears Rutgers athletics, and is actively keeping us down" article a month.
They ought to consider themselves fortunate they're even in our conference. Their entire school is a fucking joke. The only reason they're here is because they're conveniently located within an hour's drive of one of the biggest cities in the world. Otherwise they offer no value whatsoever.
They are a joke, and they SHOULD feel lucky. No one here even wanted them. Oh boy you played the first collegate football game, Cookie or medal? Not sure about all the numbers but here's this: http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index.ssf/2015/02/exclusive_rutgers_football_earned_approximately_2.html
Stripping them of NJ recruits has been an unexpected bonus.
That was awesome.
funny article
They should leave the B10. They won't be missed at all. Then a real team can come in.
where's the drinking thread aldeady
They're aldead from alcohol poisoning.
has supporters?
Best comment yet. +1
You never ever want "the Santa Cruz BO." That schtank never goes away.
That's what was in Seinfeld's car.
Deserve. And don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
for Syracuse or Pitt
Syracuse would be ok too but seems like they have given up on football.
I prefer Pitt as well for the academics, natural rivalry with Pedo St etc. but to keep the NY market (which I dont care about but the BTN does) I'd be cool with 'Cuse.
Downsize to an actual Big Ten in numbers. Not that it could happen with the conference money pool at stake.
4 x 16-18 team "super" conferences.
Like the big12
10 teams
9 game full round robin
No divisions
Top 2 playoff committee ranked teams go to the championship
That would be the absolute best.
They want to be top shelf so bad yet are so far from it.
Maybe the best part about this is that this guy thinks people in NYC are tuning in to see Rutgers.
Ya live with the contract.
It's as simple as that.
The only supporters Rutgers has all smell like fromunda cheese.
major shrinkage.
In this case, definitely not a bad thing.
Some anonymous mod threw this thread in the pool, huh?
:-)
In almost every way conceivable, Princeton is Michigan, and Rutgers is Michigan State.
Guy is full of shit.
Then leave.
