I know people dont like to hear this but we are going to take a step back and experience some growing pains next year before we take a leap forward in 2023 an imo compete for a rose bowl bid in 2024. You have to realize that with the earlier signing period, schianos first real class was realistically 2021 and its gonna take a couple years for kids to develop.

After this seasons we lose a lot of upper classmen and will have young pups replacing them who will take their licks and grow throughout the year. I only post this in order to make sure were cognizant of whats likely ahead next year. Next year is a true rebuild year imo. The schedule is incredibly tough

Now that the season is officially over let’s debate on portal needs. To me our biggest areas of need are:
QB even is Gavin pans out and it’s debatable. Simon is almost guaranteed to leave and Vedral is done. Even if they offer a HS QB and get him somehow in this class we’ll need a good veteran.
Oline: we only lose Direnzo but we have no proven depth. Young guys are a plenty but only one has played so far
WR: long and Cruk is about it. No one else is even worth discussing. Serious need here. At least two.
TE: maybe but I’m curious about what Konopka and Higgins can do next year with a real TE coach.
Interior DL: our guys are just way too small and weak. Tired of watching them get pushed around 1:1 like children. We need another Dwomfour type plug and play.

Who are the five players you build this team around this year?

All I ask is not to get into we suck, Greg sucks, we are never going to be good etc etc……. Plenty of other threads for that
Let us just see who you think are the five players you build the team around.

My Five in no particular order

1. Gavin
2. SBV
3. Powell
4. Lewis
5. Bailey

Let’s see who ya got.

Maybe it's time to start thinking about the next coach?

Former SK, had a great game yesterday for Alcorn State against Prime Time Jackson State. 4 receptions for 109 yards, going mostly against the number one recruit Travis Hunter. Does anyone know what happen to him here?

I gotta say this might not be popular but @BlockR is my favorite and cracks me up almost every time. I'm a fan of the pot stirrers and the dude stirs the pot on every occasion but I love it. Does he still post about firing Rob Smith?

Are the “sell outs” so Greg can tell recruits we’re almost there and the fans have taken notice?

I’ve been saying this for a decade or more…. Being a Rutgers and Jets football fan is so so so challenging. Offenses do not exist and haven’t for years. It’s painful to enjoy football and watch this slop.

RSM Classic in cold St Simons island, Ga,

Tourney being played on 2 courses. Chris played the course averaging +.5, the other is -1.5.

He shot a -5, 65 which currently places him T4. Another recent college player, Cole Hammer from the U of Texas, leads at 8 under. Chris received a ton of TV time although they screwed up, saying he was the Big EAST, not Big TEN player of the year, His irons were really dialed in but the putting issues came up again, missing Birdie putts of 8, 6, and 7 feet on his last 3 holes. Before that he was putting well.

Columbia beats Delaware State 70-65 and Columbia is terrible. Delaware State gave Villanova all they could handle, even though they lost by 10.

It tells me that Villanova isnt playing very well, so that Temple win might not be so impressive. I think we roll over Temple

What is your take after PSU game? Does Greg chalk it up to great PSU D ( Maryland could not score last week and their QB threw for only 74 yards)? Does he look at it as the playcalling was good enough but the execution was horrible on all aspects of the offense? Or……..is it what I lean towards which is other then getting Kyle to run hard last week, Nunzio just is not getting it done?

Thanks and looking forward to your take.

Second game in a row. No security for around 5 minutes, no number to text like big time stadiums. A single staff member finally came down and then another 5 minutes later got joined by one holding a bag of chips.

Always an adventure.

Thought I'd start a RU fan grumbling thread...

In my seats with 16 mins till kickoff. Seems like rhe Pedo State fans don't get in early either...so far I'd say at least 1/3 Pedo fannies (LOL) in the stadium.

The Nits come to town
Will RU's nitwit sound guy
Play the lion roar?

One things for sure, we should always be able to recruit a top notch punter.

Iowa and Minnesota made some very bizarre college football betting history on very, very cold Saturday.

Is he gone?
Just saw a post of his on social media. It's on of those posts talking about being grateful to the program and a few of the comments are wishing him luck elsewhere.

I saw the thread regarding the train horn and it made me think about my own peeve. It appears that the ominous tolling of the bells occurs on every third down regardless of the situation or who possesses the ball. While I do like the usage when we are on defense and it is a third and LONG and OUTSIDE of our red zone, I do hate its use when we are on offense and in an unfavorable position on the field. Yesterday we were on offense on a third (and somewhat manageable for a competent offense) but DEEP in our own territory and sure enough the bells tolled. When this situation arises, I always wonder, who is that bell tolling for?

That is how Senior Day 2022 will be remembered . This is an all-time classic comedy of errors . Pathetic and embarrassing performance for a program that never misses an opportunity to disappoint.
This is a low point and that is saying something. This goes down as one of the all time Pathetic performances. No excuses for what happened out there

Korsak breaks record for punts in a game, career punts, and career punting yardage. Not something for the program to be proud of.

We looked pretty good pressing and trapping against Temple in the second half. Some will say too little too late, which is fair, but keep in mind we were playing key guys 38-39 minutes.

Hope to see more of it, especially when Caleb is back.

If we go out and get routed by PSU in front of 30k nits fans in our own house, it will be a very tough pill to swallow. I will hope for the absolute most we can expect....a well played, competitive affair.

For the life of me I don’t understand that play call. Take a QB who is young and interception prone and playing against a D where he is hurried on virtually every play and yet you call a first down pass play from your own 1 at a time the game is still within reach. In what universe does this make sense. Taking a safety makes more sense than that - ugh!
