10-10 doesn’t stink. By definition it is neither good nor bad. Pike has to stop playing his favorites , transfers and returnees too much and run with the freshmen.

I make my own Rutgers gear. I like the 17Q66 logo. Got a scarlet baseball cap with the logo in black. Was told it was best Rutgers swag ever by a guy when on way to football game. Got a grey t shirt with the logo in black at center on chest.

Also have a grey t-shirt with my chop R avatar on it. If anybody wants one, let me know.

Not too expensive. Most screen-printing shops have t shirts and caps in inventory. Give them the artwork and they have the t-shirt or cap ready next day. Costs around $30.

It’s very easy to say nice things about pike when izzos team team just played its worst game of the season but was able to still win thanks to the dumpster fire Pike brought to MSG.

You’ll see the more we lose and the program devolves the more Big Ten coaches will praise Steve, they probably hope he stays forever.

There was no doubt in my mind someone would say this. I don't buy it. World class coaches don't praise everyone they beat year after year

I get the reason for the overreaction. But Pike got us to the dance twice and really should have been 3 times if it wasn’t for COVID. He also brought in the most ridiculous recruits (2) in the history of RU. He is not going anywhere.

Someone paid them about $3.5 million combined to play here together and be showcased

I don't see the evidence that the team is uncoachable or doesn't buy into coaching. Ace takes a lot of midrange shots because Pikiell doesn't realize he shouldn't be doing that.

Other than that I see two freshman who are good enough to be major pieces on a good team (and yes this includes Ace now who has improved dramatically but this unfortunately had coincided with Harper being unable to play effectively) and a bunch of other players who are emphatically not. Michigan State has 8 players that are better than our third best player and those players are not the ones who supposedly can't be coached because they are going to the NBA next year.

The 'highly assymetric against us" comment is interesting. I assume this has to do with Boras demanding one or more opt outs. Cohen probably responded with OK then we need the option to extend. Boras said no, and Cohen said FU.

What a stupid post right after we lose to undefeated in the BIG 10 when AcE has a subpar shooting night and Dylan is hurt . We have transfers and returnees that have failed the team but the freshman have shown out and are all starting to show out.

lol . So we don’t stink ??

I have had some crazy ideas expressed on this board from time to time.. all I had to do was admit it when shown I was wrong or, in general, we come to the conclusion that it is unknowable and we agree to disagree.

But no answer? *crickets* as you say.... that makes me think it was troll behavior all along.

But will that happen goru, is the question.
Would it surprise you if you get an update Dylan is practicing and going to give it a go Wednesday?
Wash, rinse repeat!

From what I saw yesterday live , he reaggravated it in warmups and during the first half and early second. He was noticing limping badly while on the bench in the second half kinda like when someone first hurts it. In the first half when he was not in the game , he came to the huddles gingerly but not limping badly. It looks to me like unfortunately for us a 10 day shutdown until Illinois on February 5

down in Ocean County Jackson Liberty and Jackson Memorial High Schools will combine and just be 1 High School starting in September.

Personally, I think Ace has looked VERY coachable.

Dylan hard to comment on because he hasn’t really been full go in what, a month?

I just think it’s more about us not having a 5 and that’s the main issue.

Cliff on this team changes A LOT. I don’t blame Cliff, and I’m happy for him, but man what a bummer.

They are 10-10. They stink.

I believe this is called "transference." Politi cannot process the fact that Duke is crushing it in the ACC whilst his beloved Heels are tied for 7th place. LOL. Hubert Davis isn't getting it done despite a team full of 5-star talent and all the NIL $$$ he could ask for. So all that frustration finds its outlet on RU and Pikell. Go Heels!

I have been reading a lot of excuses here. Time to stop.
It is time to wave the white flag. It is late January and we are now pinning our hopes on making the BTT and going on a historic run to make this season palatable…making the BTT , let that sink in.
Time to face reality. The Harper/Bailey led team is a bust of epic proportions. Jordan Dercack , of Merrmimack and Colonia lore, was Rutgers best player on the court at MSG in a marquee game.
This team stinks!

Pike gets paid $3.5 million to coach the team he constructed. If the team is “uncoachable” by definition that’s his failure as he is the architect of the roster.

Pike is the common denominator across every theory on why a team with two lottery picks is a dumpster fire.
