Anyone who thinks NJ con doesn’t have an axe to Grind

[Plum Street]

Check out the headline today about lacrosse and the “blowout loss”.
I am pretty much on record here saying football and mens basketball is all that matters and couldn’t care less about what is reported or what the other sports do …but cmon they made the final 4 . Todays game was Gravy!
But man what a low blow by that website.

I mean - we got blown out

Yeah but cmon ! I wouldn’t even write a headline that way and I can be pretty negative in some eyes.
I mean we were in the friggen final 4

The world must be ending tonight. I agree with Plum Street.— Any other writer in a major university area would be writing about junior varsity high school swim meets or white elephant sales after an article like that. It wasn’t even a blowout and we did make it to the Final Four of a sport. Losing by 62 in basketball to Louisville and by 78 in football to Michigan were blowouts. We lost 17-10 today, not 23-5.

People still read NJ.com? Bunch of click bait BS designed for one thing.. to try and get more traffic on their pathetic site. Final four in the nation and they want to rain on that parade? Bunch of douche bags.

They would have a few more readers if they figured out this simple concept. You are hired.

Thought the exact same thing when I read it....I did not mind the first line....."Rutgers historic season ends in Blowout loss to Cornell in Final Four" It was the second line that really pissed me off...."Rutgers failed to show up to its Final Four meeting with Cornell"

Man that’s crazy. The Baltimore Sun provides a lot of coverage of lacrosse. I don’t ever remember that sort of vitriol. In fact I bet they have a more flattering article now.

Is the writer a Syracuse grad?

Inside Lacrosse got it right, both headline and article.

Cali, he is a Rutgers alumnus.

As long as you have Kevin Manahan as the editor in chief you are going to get these types of headlines and articles. Guy hates Rutgers

As far as I can tell from looking at the online site, there hasn’t been a peep about RU at the Big 10 baseball tournament.

Exactly. They appeal to the anti-RU crowd with these statements, but also generate clicks from us who want to see what offensive nonsense they print. It's a brilliant business model as this thread has generated nearly 400 views in less than 18 hours. As a result of this unintended promotion, how many of us have gone to their website to read the article? How many of us have gone there multiple times?

... and in the championship game. But if we get blown out, they'll be all over it!

 

[SirScarlet]

All they're doing is catering to self loathing new jersyans...christ, half of them are probably on this board!!

Ps - f*** the star ledger!!

If you are referring to Manahan , he went to Holy Cross.

I'll say this, my clicking on their BS headlines has declined by about 95%. And as a few years ago, lost a very loyal and paid subscriber. So, did they really win?

Question is, who pissed in his Cherrios?
