What a wonderful way of summing up what Coach has brought to this team. I thought these announcers did a fantastic job tonight

For once, the other team was dealing with it! 😂

Hello Rutgers University Alumni and Supporters,

I hope this message finds you all well. I am posting here to request financial support for an upcoming trip to support the Rutgers Scarlet Knights Football team as we plan on ruining the “White Effect” on September 21st in Blacksburg, VA.

In the past we have turned to the boards for support to create our core memory of a trip for fourteen students to Indiana University to watch the Scarlet Knights become bowl eligible, as well as the notorious fifty person trip to the 19 point Rutgers comeback in State College.

This trip’s goal is to bring thirty executive board, committee, and general body Riot Squad members to Lane Stadium to give our Scarlet Knights the unparalleled support they deserve as well as build upon the sense of community and pride associated with our great university.

Transportation:
We plan on bringing eight cars full of students to Blacksburg leaving at various times throughout the day on Friday, September 20, due to classes, work, the career fair, etc. Additionally, the “unc” of the Riot Squad, @aleccr12, who is covering the game, will provide transportation by road again (in his mom van that seats seven!).

Accommodation:
We have booked an Airbnb cabin just outside Blacksburg, VA which we will stay on Friday and Saturday night.

Estimated Budget:
Our preliminary budget for the trip is as follows:

Super Bowl Box Fundraiser: $975
Student Trip Fee: $750
Total Raised: $1725

Transportation:
Gas Expenses: $600

Accommodation:
Airbnb for 30 in Blacksburg: $1,960

Miscellaneous/Overhead: $200

Total Estimated Trip Cost: $2,760

Total Requested Funds: $1,035

In return for your generous support, we plan to recognize all donors as sponsors for the trip. This recognition will include acknowledgment and posts on our social media platforms, and gratitude expressed at any related events.

We believe that this trip will be a fantastic opportunity to strengthen the student community and spirit here at Rutgers and provide our students with a memorable and unique experience. We appreciate your consideration of our funding request and look forward to the possibility of making this trip a reality for as many students as possible with your support.

If you are interested in donating, please Venmo @brentisagamer with the subject line “Virginia Tech Donation.” Every donation will get us miles closer to Blacksburg! If you have any ideas or questions on how to make this the best trip possible for us or would like to submit a donation another way, please contact myself at 917-881-6889 or at tsl57@scarletmail.rutgers.edu.

Thank you for your time and consideration and Go RU!

Fans will see an improved entry process at SHI Stadium for the remainder of the season. During our efforts to amplify safety measures at SHI Stadium, we've seen these changes present increased congestion at stadium gates and longer than expected wait times. Through the feedback we received in our postgame surveys from season ticket holders, fans and guests, the following adjustments will take effect immediately:

Will Rogers is an excellent QB - possibly one of the best we go against this year.

He definitely lived up to the hype - he is NIL money well spent.

Before and during the game.
Shxt.
Even if it does get sold out, it'll be a thin crowd.
It's a bad look on a national televisiized game.
Feel a bit sad for our guys.
Let's just hope we don't a loud crowd to make the difference.

Sorry if this is duplicate. Tried to post once, but I don’t see it.

Is there a link/thread explaining how to retrieve via the RU app tickets that were transferred to you?

I just downloaded the app and created a Community ID (I’m not a student or alumnus) and password. Unfortunately when I go to log in, it keeps asking me for a WEB ID. I try to put my Community ID (my email address) in there, and it doesn’t work (says it’s not the correct format).

I also don’t know what part of the app the Tix would be found on.

Any help can give me would be appreciated. Thanks!

Mike

Headed to the lots straight from work tomorrow. Usually bring the grill and whole nine yards. This time, we’ve just decided to grab premade food to eat before heading into the game. We almost never do this— so looking for recommendations.

Wanted to hear what people suggest for a grab n go tailgate—specifically looking for food on our way towards the stadium (East Brunswick, New Brunswick, Highland Park or Piscataway) that I can stop and grab on my way.

Not a big group, only about 8-10 of us. Don’t want something that needs a special days ahead order obviously.

Thanks

Hope it’s a true sellout!

This is something we need to clean up. Granted it’s only a small sample size, but it’s been far too easy against us so far.

It was loud, most people got the memo on black, people were in early and they were met with a great product both on the field but also with Red Panda, the lights, the music...really liked the asking people where in Jersey with the DJais favorite "Calling" as well..."Pepas" (agua pa' la seca!) was also a great touch during the rain. And much less stupid horn so you could hear the students. Several good RU chants too.

Overall very nice job by the team, fans, and stadium staff.

UW's third LB (in a mostly 2-LB defense) Bryun Parham has decided to sit out the rest of the season and redshirt, with the intention of transferring to another school. This kid played about 40% of UW's snaps so far, so this is a fairly decent loss for them.

Excluding the end of the first half, Washington had ten drives yesterday. Those ten drives provide a case study in how to lose.

1) Driving downfield, they commit a dead ball personal foul creating a 2nd and 23. They cannot recover from this and turn it over on downs.

2) In the red zone at the RU 11, they false start, creating 1st and 15 (essentially 1st and Goal) from the 16. That's a tough nut for any offense and they settle for a short FG.

3) Another red zone opportunity and another personal foul, turning 1st and 10 into 3rd and 17. FG missed.

4) Three and out. RU's only "solid" stop of the night.

5) Coleman is gashing RU right down the field, resulting in 3rd and Goal at the 2. Two incomplete passes, the last one barely tipped away by Powell, and they turn it over on downs. Kudos to RU for the stop, but some questionable play calling.

6) TD, 6 plays, 94 yards.

7) Another dead ball personal foul! This on the first play of the drive, resulting in 2nd and 21 from which they cannot recover. Three and out.

8) UW on the march again, with a first down at the RU 25. Then they botch the snap, resulting in a four yard loss. Now it's 2nd and 14. They cannot recover from this unforced error, and miss another FG.

9) TD, 12 plays, 75 yards,

10) They get the ball with 35 seconds left. They have one final chance at a long FG, which is missed.

And we haven't even mentioned UW's most egregious error of the night, when the player on the sideline decided to celebrate their blocked kick a tad prematurely.

THE LESSON FOR RU IS: During the course of a season, maybe a team will win one game like this. MAYBE. Accept the gifts gratefully, and be proud that you took advantage of them. But do not expect to receive such beneficence again.

I had us a 3-1 splitting with V Tech/Washington.

Where can you park without a pass on Friday ?

Jersey Mike’s
Johnson park
Bucceluch park ?
Lots on Busch off hoes lane ?
Reisdential streets around the stadium ?

Are these all options ? Anything else ?

Is shared by the coaches and special guests. Last night folks who can't stand so well were asked to stand and wait about 15+ minutes as first some Rutgers then Washington then the rest of the Rutgers press box coaches came in.

They need to figure that out. I was at River road and Landing Lane at 650, parked in Scarlet ADA and not in my seats until 755. That is not okay. Either the traffic flow or the station entrance.

Big Hokie fan tonight. They're up 7-0 early on Miami. Will be watching the score. Hope they take the ACC

RU!

They sounded amazing and looked awesome. Kudos we officially have a BIG band.

I'm trying to remember if Pikes & Slick Rick treated it like a real game vs. doing a lot of tinkering, situational stuff, weird mass-subbing, etc. I feel like both teams treated it like a "REAL" game if memory serves correctly. But yeah, just trying to have clear expectations for next month's game with them... wondering if everything about it will feel real or if there will be aspects that make you remember that it's a glorified officiated scrimmage that doesn't count for anything record-wise.

Were you at the game last year @Richie O ? I think you were if I recall correctly because you were gonna try to live-stream since it wasn't broadcasted.
