Does the game time weather look like 50F, rain and 10-15 mph winds?

Not great tailgate weather either.

One thing is certain. The real RU fans will be there, or they will be watching on tv.

 

[RU Husky]

Will either team score?

 

[ChrisNalwasky]

Will either team score?

As Johnny Langan put it, “Rutgers will win”.

I’ll do neither.
I’m a fake fan😊

 

[RutgersNo1]

Please don’t cancel the game.

 

[G- RUnit]

Please don’t cancel the game.

Is it really worth it? Why risk injury?

Why would you suggest this TODAY? Yesterday, maybe fearing this scenario made sense.. but the rain has already departed and it was easy to see that it would at the time of your post.

55 degrees and overcast.. that is a problem?

How’s the tailgating scene?

Kind of dead unfortunately.

The format has to change around the country, as the days 8-9 years ago when multiple teams were drawing an excess of 50,000 has dwindled.

I think what they should do is have more of a scrimmage against the lower level team, be at FCS or D2 but one they do not compete with directly for recruits exposure, etc.

It should excite the fan base a little more than scrimmaging against your own team, when you’re not sure who to root for because if the O is doing well, your questioning the defense or if the defense is excelling, you may think the O is not very good.

And there’s no / limited tackling and it looks more like a two and touch game.

Just my two Cents.

Top teams still draw
But significantly less

Bama used to get 90k
Ohio state 80s

FSU had 60k in 2018
Was they’d last week - not sure where 33k is coming from but there was no more than 12-15k in the stadium

did Brantley get hurt in camp or is this lingering from last year?

BTN showing the UMD game from last year? Odd. Doesn't exactly get one amped for the spring game. That's a tape that should be burned.

I turned on BTN and RU is down 30-0 to MD early in the 4th quarter. Anyone think that we might make a comeback? 😀

This game is not much of an appetizer before watching the Spring Game.

The 10 highest-attended spring games ever

www.sbnation.com

These are the all time leaders as of 2018
Back in the day, a lot of teams were getting 50k +

OTTOMH, FSU, UF & Michigan state as well

Couldn't agree more...WTF...That was a horrible/embarrassing loss and thats how B1G Network sends us into our spring game live?

The weather is fine, as expected since yesterday. A little rain and a little wind, but nothing to whine about. Great first drive with some nice passes by Wimsatt and some nice runs by Salaam, although he's not a short yardage back.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Kind of dead unfortunately.

Like the play on the field so far. Slow motion ..

 

[RU#1fan]

Wow .. we need to find a QB. Wimsatt looks like he has regressed. Still No Accuracy at all.
Maybe to see the new QB recruit..

Weather really isn’t fine..at least 10 minutes from Piscataway. Very nasty out

You two watching the same game?

 

[koleszar]

Really trying to make the Wimsatt to Dremel connection work here. Seems like a losing combination.

 

[HatterChat]

Conditions suck but with the schedule 4 wins would be the ceiling

 

[RUBOB72]

Nothing has changed… absolutely nothing. Hope Ajani can throw better than these starters .

Can’t work when the QB has no accuracy at all.

 

[Knight Shift]

I'm on a plane, and wondering what is going on.

 

[RUBOB72]

Excuse train needs to stop even though conditions suck today QB play needs to be much much better. Looking at 3-9 with this offense.

 

[RUBOB72]

Somebody posted recently twice that by season’s end Ajani Sheppard will be the stater. Need a portal transfer fo sure.

 

[kupuna133]

On the O the OL and RB looks to be improved as has been discussed in other threads. But QB and WR need help. DB’s look good but the rest of the D looks challenged.

 

[RUBOB72]

We have the smallest 300 lbs. ers in college football …I know coach Butler does a great job right?

 

[mikemarc1]

I’d recommend people stop trying to analyze this team based on a friendly scrimmage in front of fans in the rain. Let’s all relax
