Was that the game where it also was sleeting at West Point ? Rough conditions that night.
What is your Rutgers football dream schedule?

I believe Teel had hurt his thumb and could barely throw so we eked out a game management win with Jabu and Ray. I was at the RAC that night but those who went said the bus driver on the TD club trip got lost either going there or coming home.
Correct. 2 interceptions in the 1st qtr. Jabu played the last 3. And my drive back to NJ was less than pleasant.
Lots of former BE teams!! I'd pull Michigan in favor of UVA. More competitive game..
The old big East was a great fun conference. Would be a pipe dream to see it come back together again one day.

Uhh yeah. That’s why it’s a hypothetical on a message board. And phrased as a “dream” schedule from an individuals perspective.
And who actually cares about the “programs” anymore ?? Conferences don’t. University presidents don’t. They all sold out long ago .
And the programs don’t exist without fan interest . If we scheduled Wagner’s and layfettes that might be best for the students , but ain’t gonna be best way to attract high level football and grow the program.
You want a loaded schedule with 9/10 B1G games and then 3-4 marquee games?
And then you want to retain the right to complain about the team if they don’t post 7/8/9 wins?
I was there. At the time it was the biggest comeback win in school history (Down 27-3 early 3rd qtr) Later eclipsed by the Maryland comeback in 2014 (25 points), which I attended as well.
Could never understand the hype around Jay Cutler.
My intiial post stated that it was under an assumption that Rutgers was at worst mediocre and is ranked in the 20-40 range.
Also a lot of those teams have great names but aren’t world beaters.
If anyone is being honest with themselves, it’s silly to have games against non P5 teams.
To all the Negatoids, my dream schedule is to play:
#2 away, #3, #9 away, #19 away, and #25 away
…and
then add on Maryland, Mich State, VA Tech
… and
then scream like idiot when we don’t win 8 games.

Damn, Husker...couldn't throw us a bone and put Rutgers in there?? 😜
Week 1: Penn State, always best chance to beat them in first week (Iowa second best because their offense is rarely good early on)
Week 2: Group of Five team (i.e. Temple or someone else locally)
Week 3: FCS opponent (i.e Delaware, better than Wagner)
Week 4: West Virginia (or Another Power Five former Big East rival, Syracuse, BC, Va Tech, Miami, or if desperate Louisville, Cinci)
Week 5: Michigan
Week 6: Northwestern (or lower opponent in current Big Ten West)
Week 7: Ohio State
Bye
Week 8: Indiana
Week 9: Michigan State
Week 10: better Big Ten West opponent (i.e Minnesota)
Week 11: new big Ten Pacific member (i.e. UCLA)
Week 12: Maryland
