Despite the fact that their two most prominent football alum are a man who cold cocked his wife in an elevator and a guy whose C3 and C4 vertebrae preferred to turn themselves into dust rather than play for Rutgers anymore. The third most prominent is Star Lions QB Mike McMahon.

When all the talking heads want to talk about is how Alabama could easily crush any team that has ever played football, by dint of being on top of the SEC, I just want to see them lose. And, when your team doesn't smell the postseason, well...gotta have some reason to get invested in games. S'up hatewatching buddy.

Marquis de Pyro posted:You always say this and I constantly have to point out that actually Rutgers is historically bad for a power conference team. You're Northwestern/Kentucky level at best. That's really loving bad. I'm not going to waste my time actually comparing Rutgers to other "power 5" teams again, but you're bottom 10%. I've said they're at the same level as Kentucky, South Carolina, and Oregon State. That's not what's been argued. quote:You also seem to have the stupid idea that the entire Midwest is somehow Detroit, so I'm going to continue judging all of Jersey as being Camden or wherever your shittiest place is now. I'm not the one who started this. I know Ann Arbor and Grosse Pointe are nice. Percentage wise, there's a lot more of those in New Jersey than in Michigan or the rest of the region. When you look at the aggregate stats, it's a terrific place by any metric. Albeit painfully boring at times. quote:The Big 10 let in your awful team for no real reason given that cable TV is dying and they are not going to make any money in the mythical New York Cable Market by virtue of having a lovely 1-10 Rutgers team in. Great my team gets a free 78-0 win every year instead of playing an actual interesting team or having room for another non conference game. Cool. No reason at all for the rest of the conference to be mad about it. Actually the Big Ten is going to make a lot more money as a result, and I'm shocked you said that given how easily it's disproved. And no, Rutgers isn't one of the worst major conference schools in the history of NCAA basketball. No poo poo they are really bad at football right now. That's Kyle Flood's fault. That will be corrected, and they'll be comfortably middle of the pack. Rutgers did not make the Big Ten worse. It was just another mediocre program added to a pile of mediocre programs.

I legitimately think the Midwest should be depopulated in a modern day trail of tears, but honestly there's no point because y'all will die of meth overdoses soon enough. Your team is going to poo poo with Michigan competent and Narduzzi gone, we'll be back to the John L. Smith days soon enough.

Kim Jong Il posted:No, it's a sign that bowl expansion wasn't really a thing until relatively recently. No, that's why Rutgers has been to nine bowls since 2000 and one since before. Even Temple played two 20th century bowls. One of them was the Sugar Bowl in the 30s. Temple: literally better than Rutgers at bowl games. Wake Forest, the worst power 5 team of all time in win/loss percentage, went to five in the 20th century.

You know, other Rutgers fans make the internet difficult to deal with. I'm just optimistic that one day we'll be an okay team again. Sorry for fueling that derail. And the Ironbound section of Newark is fantastic for food. Go to...I think it's called Hamburgao? They put corn on the burgers and it is God damned amazing.

Can the B1G trade Rutgers for Mizzou? I feel they would have been the better choice for program level, culture, and geography reasons. Rutgers then would have been free to join the AAC or embrace their destiny and been rejected by the Ivy League in an FCS transition

Aside from the obvious money argument, the other reason Maryland was invited to the Big Ten was because Jim Delany thought he could upset the ACC apple cart in an attempt to create further conference chaos in order to force Notre Dame into the Big Ten. It backfired, and we are stuck with two bad-to-mediocre programs. At least Maryland is good in basketball and all-around competitive in most other sports. Maryland's football ceiling is quite a bit higher than Rutgers, which will struggle forever going head to head with Penn State in recruiting in its own state. Penn State recruits well in the DMV, but there is stiffer competition between them and Maryland, Virginia, and Virginia Tech.

As you know, Penn State has strip mined Maryland. Maryland does not have a good football history at all. They have significantly worse facilities and worse fan support than Rutgers. All they have on Rutgers is a lot of Under Armour money.
