Stop taking portal kids and follow Purdue, Wisconsin & Sparty

Wisconsin uses the portal, what are you talking about?
They haven't taken 9 kids in 3 years, maybe I am wrong.

The last relevant portal kids was AJ Storr, who was there for 1 year and left for Kansas, where he's struggling at around 7PPG there.

Obviously every program adds a player or two via the portal, but unless that player is filling in a spot or a bench role, the bulk of the pieces have to be in place. Spencer was a rare situation with veterans all over the starting lineup and we still struggled because of the lack of bench players around those starters.

50 year fan. 1st game at barn as a kid in ‘74/5 and now…

You will get sucked back in when/if the program gets better. I gave up really caring during the waters era. Stopped going to as many games. Saw no way up in the BIG East. Still followed the train wrecks , but I got to miss so many fun moments at the RAC under hill, rice and Jordan!! Too bad.
Got sucked back in 2019 when pike was starting to build something.
If you’re gonna do it, do it. Don’t cry wolf
I said I will always have love for the team, but not to the degree I once was . New paradigm these days. Too transitory

Football Rutgers Football CBs coach Mark Orphey to Texas

That’s not the case at all do some homework on this.
Tell me what you know. I know he’s going back home and to one of the elite programs. I know if given the DC title he would have stayed. All I am saying is I knew he was gone as soon as Zach was announced as CoDC. It was obvious.

Not upset with Sparber but wha I have heard over the years was Orphey was a rising star and needed to be protected.

I truly feel this might be my last year as a super fan/ticket holder.

Sure, I’m from here (Franklin, I played with Roy), I’ll always have a spot in my rooting heart for them, but it’s a new paradigm now. Tonight showed me no passion. This team is a letdown, and a rebuild is eminent.

We are a looong way from the Dance in a BiiiiiiiiG conference. I don’t see this as a Top 10 B10 program anytime soon.

It hurts, for sure.
I can feel your pain. First game for me was in the barn as well. Cant remember the opponent. Went to Jadwyn for the disappointing loss to st Bonnie in the nit. Dad had season tickets when the rac opened and went to most games through probably 85/86. Many many memorable games for a team that was generally up and down under Tom young. Started going again when pike came in and glad I did. But Pike and the program is reminding me of tom young era now. Difficulty maintaining a roster and not elite enough to overcome it.
