I'd tweak it, but I love the idea.  We could have a large beige teddy bear with some metal inside, and the team that wins gets to put a magnet with their logo after each game.

Like the Little Brown Jug, we'd leave it at their field after beating them.  Unlike the Little Brown Jug, we'd forget about it and not have a shit to give about getting it back. 

And the teddy bear trophy would be left out in the field, with the metal inside rusting with each passing rain.  As the rust seeps through the teddy bear over the passing years, it would look as if the bear was crying brown tears.

Or, it would look like the bear had shit itself.

After several years, Rivalry Trophy Bear was picked at by birds and rodents looking for nesting materials.  All that was left of Rivalry Trophy Bear was its metal frame, which looked surprisingly like a rusty metal Wicker Man, with a single gleaming maize Block M magnet laying nearby.  And where the Vermont Teddy Bear Company heart should have been, sat a tiny effigy of Jim Delany.

A father and daughter were walking through High Point Solutions stadium several years later, and came across Rivalry Trophy Bear.  The daughter asked "daddy, what's that effigy of naked mole rat doing inside the rusty metal bear cage?" and her father lowered his voice and said "that's not a naked mole rate, dear - that's a Jim Delany". 

And the girl said "what's a Jim Delany?" and the father replied "he is the guy who let Rutgers into the Big 10".

And the girl said, "what's a Rutgers?" and the father replied "I don't rightly know, dear.  I don't rightly know."

Honestly the PC president should brush this off as stupid. Getting the cops involved and making a big deal out of it just legitimizes the stupidity. It's clearly not a threat or a big deal, but he's making it seem like they committed some heinous, terrible act and he fears for his life.

Wait, so leaving a few things on the field is 'vandalism'? I mean, what the fuck have we come to that everything possibly bothersome has been upgraded ten notches in its characterization?

"Act of terrorism" seems to be used to describe way too many things.

And what happened here just seems like a very minor prank to lamely attempt to engender a rivalry where it doesn't exist (and in my opinion, never will).

Holy overreaction, Batman.

"Because Michigan is perceived to be a rival to Rutgers both on the football field and on the recruiting trail, the camp has drawn intense criticism from Rutgers fans on popular Internet message boards."

This is a blatant lie.  Those internet message boards are not popular.

This is like when you are competing with a guy for a girl, but you are crazy and inadequate and you do something in a frenzied panic to get the girl, but it backfires, she goes to the other dude because you look so desperate, and you sit in your home alone, reflecting on how your life got this way and why nobody wants you..... (from what i've heard)

If you area Rutgers fan or student, don't you need something to get excited about?  Why not pick a fight, take a stand, instill some pride.

Didn't Lorenz post something on 247 last night about even more ridiculousness over this Paramus camp?

that one of the "side stories" on the website reporting this was "Why Schools keep their small football programs"

Rutgers?? I think they're talking to you

Nothing shows how tough a program you are like breaking into a HS at night and vandalizing the field.  I'm sure it's a couple of yokels and not some concerted effort, but the way Rutgers stops being a laughingstock doesn't begin with a stuffed bear and some spray paint.

By leaving a teddy bear at mid-field?

I say we up the ante by leaving a picnic basket, some glitter, and a tastefully arranged bouquet of flowers on THEIR field. That'll show them!

Is this what some refer to as a "micro-agression"?  I hope that have properly padded safe rooms where they can all go and clutch their pearls and faint.

How much do you want to bet that MSU fans are going to try to spin this as some sort of inside job by Michigan fans to make Rutgers look bad?
