Of course it is but it wasn’t done the right way. Only Clark and the staff knows what was said and what tarnished the relationship.
Alijah Clark to Tundra
- Thread starter Knight Shift
- Start date
A shanked punt that gave up a TD, a fumble that wasn’t a fumble that took away a potential TD. Schiano screaming at the refs for 10 mins. Total yards was Cuse 258 to rutgers 195. That qualifies as giving the game away in my book. Good win for you though. I see growth
only Clark and the staff know if it was Alijah feeling he was dropping down on the depth chart that had him go to the portal in an effort to find a program he felt he's get more playing time .
Syracuse picked up someone that showed a lot of potential as a high school player in Clark
But a lot of potential good players coming out of HS don't live up to their billing when they move up to college ball .
Then transfer from the program they signed out of HS with to a lesser program in order to find playing time.
And Rutgers had a 11 win season 15 years ago. No more than 7 wins for 30 years prior.
Wasnt he hurt for the last 6 games? He probably won’t start at Cuse for a couple years. Two good corners come back and a secondary that was part of a top 20 defense. He might be able to take the FS spot but the returning starter is not a bum. Clark had a better chance to start at Rutgers.
I visit your board occasionally when we have things like recruits in common, the commits, decommits, etc, not under my handle
here, however.
I did not say I don't like your board at any point, just that, when RU has some bad news, the reaction of the fans here is exaggerated and not true
I enjoy your Rutgers dumpster fire thread.... it must really annoy the fans that your teams have not had the upper hand when we meet.
I welcome visitors from other boards, I would hope to be welcome there
Most of the forum fans don’t care and never considered rutgers a rivalry but it does bother them that rutgers have won more as of late. I have history on this board and a mutual respect so some of the members here. I don’t come as often as I used to.
...has cuse ever lost a game because another team made plays and beat them? I know all fanbases make remarks like this but I seriously get a kick out of how cuse message board fans absolutely refuse to give Rutgers credit for anything besides the most backhanded of compliments, and any time we've beaten cuse it's simply because cuse 'gave the game away', as if Rutgers played a flawless masterpiece and was lucky cuse made mistakes.

You beat Cuse during the G rob era just like every other team did. I don’t see any Cuse fans not giving credit to those teams. Those were flat out losses. The only game they might talk about is 2011. When the RB Antwon Bailey fumbled before the winning drive.
I've seen cuse fans talk about the 2012 game with cuse having more yards on offense but they forget to mention the game was 23-7 in the 4th quarter (and we dropped another sure TD pass at the goal line and then I think missed a FG) with cuse trying to mount a comeback (final was 23-15). With this past season's game we also dropped a TD pass and our passing game was, well, 'limited' to put it mildly. It wasn't like cuse was dominating the game but messed up and Rutgers played mistake-free ball.
Joe P.
I’m not Cuse fans. I’m me but you are right. It wasn’t a dominating performance but they fought back and was in position to win.
Oh the old “we had more yards than you so we really won” routine. Just like 2012. But the game was in the “dreaded” “Loud House” so SU was supposed to have a major advantage. I can see blaming the refs if it was a one possession game down to the wire. The blame the refs argument kind of falls flat in a 10-point win IMO. But I expect nothing less from the miserable, shitty human beings on the SU board, namely Brian and Tom.
In the grand scheme of CFB, both programs suck and are irrelevant. No idea why you would say “FU Rutgers” when the kid announced his transfer destination. You’re making it out like he was being detained in a Vietnamese prison camp with “Shady” and Fran Brown water boarding him every night. Quit the melodrama. Its 2022…the kid could have walked whenever he wanted. And I’ll bet Syracuse isn’t the last school this kid suits up for.

I have reasons to say that based on what I know. Keep in mind he wanted to hit the portal months ago. Rutgers won. Stop worrying about what Cuse fans think. I didn’t say rutgers didn’t deserve it. Cuse was terrible on special teams all year. It cost them 3 games.
People are proving how much Cuse is on their minds. Going to the forum and reading comments. I already knew that. Lol. My question is why would you go to that site expecting to see people praising rutgers. I don’t expect good sentiments here. I’ve heard a lot of bad things towards SU.
Purdue at Syracuse Sept 17th will be interesting... Hope Purdue represents the B1G well.. Purdue QB Aidan O'Connell is no slouch and is returning for his extra covid year, and should provide a nice challenge to the Syracuse secondary and defense.
yep and I wasn't making like RU was a good program recently

Rutgers wasn't a winner either, but I didn't try to imply they were, like you did with your 10 win comment
Rutgers fans and Syracuse fans will be busting each other's balls as long both fan-bases remember the rivalry both fan-bases refused to acknowledge back in the BE days.
But mention either school on the other's board ( even now)and you won't see many kumbaya posts to each other.
I belive Syracuse comes in a close second to Penn St. as the most disliked school on this board and just squeaked bye UConn as the most disliked back when all three were in Big East.
I can guarantee you that Syracuse is mentioned here far, far less than RU discussed on the Cuse board
Our discussions here of other programs would be typical of any fan base while their RU discussion on the Cuse board is borderline obsessive
Cuse had the most recent 10 win season. What did I say wrong? Lol. I’ve said over and over again that SU is not a good program. I didn’t imply anything. That’s in your head.
We got plenty of that around here like a guy who states in his sig we won NC in '61 & '76 Many also seem to put way too much faith in a sub 0.500 HC
Or maybe he didn’t have good relationships with his teammates. Who knows.
I will tell you this when I was at the Gator Bowl I did see Clark standing on the sideline ( in a walking boot) all by himself the whole game.
His mother said something about a a coach showing his ass lol nice motherhood luck time to move on boys.
type in syracuse in the search box. You will see 10 pages of syracuse mentions and that's just from the last two months.
We don’t have a 10 year running thread on Cuse here, looking for anything negative
The bulk of the mentions are probably our taking a Cuse recruit this year and Cuse getting a portal transfer from us
if those two things did not happen you would not have much of any mention
of course those two events will be discussed
no excuse for the RU dumpster fire thread, is there?
Only my opinion, but if it was a relationship issue, it MIGHT be a problem (albeit small unless widespread) for us. If, on the other hand, it was a desire to not compete for playing time, then it's a bigger problem for someone else.
I see jabs on syracuse whenever they are mentioned on this board. We like to see them fail just as much. Lets be honest. I dont know why people go over and read stuff. Thats like seeing a crowd of syracuse fans talking and saying how much they dislike rutgers but I still go over to them and listen. Im not going to engage with them if they dont share the same interests as me.
I am being honest
It is far, far worse on their board
Don’t downplay that, it is true
Well I wont ever go to their board to find out. That's probably what they want you to do.
Yes you did, just by putting in the ten win season season recently and leaving out how bad Syracuse has been for a long time..
It was the sin of omission that did you in , whining about getting caught
“agree I think a lot of them like to poke fun but both programs haven’t been great in years except SU had a 10 win season recently.”Yes you did, just by putting in the ten win season season recently and leaving out how bad Syracuse has been for a long time..
It was the sin of omission that did you in , whining about getting caught
What I said is true and I didn’t leave out that SU hasn’t been good. Nice try though.
His mom wrote something to that effect on Instagram
Or our butt-whooping of them back on Sept. 11th.
Exactly. And this is why the B1G really should abandon this idiotic scheduling alliance.
Losing seasons every year but that 10 win one doesn't justify your excuse
If you were being honest, you would have said the Syracuse has been pretty lousy for years , but did had one good year recently
So
