The four finalists have been named. They are Caleb Williams, QB, USC, C.J. Stoud, QB, Ohio State, Max Duggan, QB, TCU; and Stetson Bennett, QB, Georgia.
You make a case for any of the finalists, but some SEC loyalists have taken shots at the Heisman committee for leaving out two SEC QB (Hendon Hooker, Tenn. & Bryce Young, Bama). The SEC (& ESPN) is figuring out the world doesn't revolve around them. The pundits felt Hooker and Young belonged with Bennett while Williams and Stoud duke it out for the last spot. Basically, the loyalists think the winner this year isn't as deserving because they haven't faced the same level of competition to earn the right to be the Heisman Trophy winner. WTF.

To Wisconsin.

I saw he was at uconn for a year and didnt play and transferred to Providence. He’s play like 6-7 mpg. I remember wanting him badly. I wonder if he hits the portal again?

Do you have a "most want to beat" basketball team in the B1G? Tough one, I know.

Indiana (just for their arrogance and clown pants)
Michigan (mostly for JH and our history against them)
Iowa (for McCaffrey)

Just spoke with owner, game will be on every tv, surround sound all should be a good time for happy hour.

Personally my favorite bar in town, shuffle board, darts, pool and great beer list. The kitchen also has great bar food, grilled chicken sandwich is elite.

Pumped for our first real test tomorrow!

He has to be the quietest super star big ten player of the year out there. Been watching him for years now. He quietly gets his double double every game. But man he is soft. The quietest 19 and 10 type of player you ever see. Disappears in games and doesn’t assert himself. A stat sheet stuffer, not a player of The year, IMO.

12 years still not done and not even close to being done

Figured this could be used to discuss other B1G team news that will impact Rutgers during the season so the board doesn't get too cluttered.

Michigan announced they lost their starting PG Jaelin Llewellyn for the rest of the year due to a torn ACL. This was the guard from Princeton some wanted.

Not impressed with Terps so far. Look readily beatable for RU.

As I mentioned on the boards, in the pod and just about everywhere else -- this upcoming weekend will be a small visitor weekend strictly for transfers and the weekend after will be for all the high school commits who haven't taken an Official Visit yet along with some key remaining targets in the 2023 class.

With that being said, TKR has confirmed that Western Kentucky transfer TE Joey Beljan will be at Rutgers this weekend for an official visit. Beljan is a former Delaware Valley High School graduate, same school as Logan Blake prior to his prep year.

He finished last season with 12 rec. for 149yds / 3 TDs.

This is the kind of accomplished starting QB from a G5 program that we should be able to attract to Rutgers. Moving from WKU to Rutgers and the B1G stage should be a very strong enticement for this type of player. His #s are outstanding, threw for over 4,000 yards, 64% completion rate, 36 TDs and 10 interceptions. Throw a kid like that into the mix and we are bowl bound next year.

Looked at the Field of 68 wondering where Brackets had us before Indiana and he had us way outside the field and not even next 4 out but next 8 out. In the meantime had 10 Big 10!teams in ahead of us.
Just looked today and wow how 1 game can swing him as he has us as the 1st Four Byes and all of a sudden a 10 seed playing Va. Tech.
Just ridiculous to do this now , this early , but someone pays him ESPN to keep him relevant.

I just read an article on Tubb Smith, and he said Minnesota might be the hardest or second most challenging job in the B1G. Some responses (Minny fans) think Northwestern, Penn St., and Rutgers are harder. If this were 7 years ago, I would agree with Minny fans. I believe Rutgers became problematic because the administration allowed it to happen. I would like to think those days pre-Pike are long gone. What do some of you think is the toughest place to coach?

8PM @ Illinois. BTN+. GO RU.

This is a great article.

Now give us back the Brooklyn (nee New Jersey) Nets....sans kyrie Irving, change the names of the Giants / Jets from NY to New Jersey and once and for all claim Staten Island as New Jersey land!

Bear knows, that's why he swam to NJ and left NY.

The Charlottsville Daily Progress reports that the NCAA will allow those players whose eligibility ended this season an extra year.

If our staff really believes that simon or wimsatt can be the guy in 2023 but they want to add another scholly qb via the portal they’ll have to thread a needle and imo there is a way to do that.

There are two type of kids who enter the transfer portal.

1) The first is an established starter who just wants to try his hand at a new school and perhaps better competition.

2) The second is a kid who hasnt gotten a shot on the field at their current school and just wants to compete for a job.

I believe we will seek the latter and promise a true QB competition in spring ball and when the prospect looks at our qb performance in 2022 theyll have no reason to believe otherwise. Below are the type of kids we’ll be going after

1) Tahj Bullock- Va Tech
2) Michael Alaimo- Purdue
3) Ta’Quan Roberson UConn

and lastly the pipe dream
4) Christian Velleiux- Penn State (hed win the job and be our starter imo)

It is also imperative that we bring in a 2023 freshman scholly qb. Now im of the belief that one of our walk-on qb’s (gavin rupp) is a scholly quality qb and can more than fill that 3rd qb spot but we need to build depth there as it’s a position that constantly has turnover. We should poach Temple commit Tyler Douglas, good qb out of ocean NJ.

Can someone explain to me the formula and mindset that allows you to watch an entire RU basketball game on TV?😊
Zero problem watching us live.
I simply go insane and begin checking the score on line when I can’t take it anymore.
What’s worse, is when I turn the channel we invariably make a run.
Im so looking forward to tomorrow night, it’s a big time event and I cannot tell you how much of it I’ll see.
Don’t mistake this post for my being laissez-faire, I’m the exact opposite, I’m crazy.

For the love of god this has to stop. The entire first half my ears were bleeding from that ridiculous horn.

Who do we need to talk to? What higher ups at the game day experience crew can we reach to end this madness? I don’t need to re-list all the reasons why it’s the single worst stadium sound effect in CFB, I just want it to stop… who can we talk to?

I'm here. Interestingly sitting next to Brad Stevens.Stevens really likes Dylan Harper.
I have inquired about Rutgers and have gotten 2 responses:

The goal is to have one or 2 of Duke,Cuse and UConn every year

When you are invited you need to accept.No clue what that means.I can't confirm that Rutgers was to play Baylor specifically in the Jimmy V.


Huge Duke and Illinois fan presence.
