B1G Schedule

[Mr Cynical]

Hi guys, I know you're not the happiest fanbase right now, but wanted to ask a question. I come in peace.

How are you feeling about the B1G schedule you've been dealt? I remember back in the day when you first joined and they announced the schedules, this board was pretty pumped up to be playing in a big-boy league. Is there any joy left in this anymore, or are you guys just demoralized about the results so far? Do you feel like your schedule has been TOO loaded?
Would like your thoughts.

Seriously, I'm looking forward to Rutgers making some waves in the east.
Best of luck the rest of the way and in the offseason.

It's been brutal but I would take a 49-7 loss vs Ohio State over a 49-14 beat down by Houston any day of the week. With time we'll be more competitive.

My only complaint is with the crossovers. The B1G didn't do us any favors with Nebraska and Wisconsin for the first two years.

Price of admission for me. We were added for TV sets, best way to show we can bring Tv sets is to schedule us against the big boys.

the divisions are unbalanced, people can say its cyclical but the fact remains that 4 of the top 20 football PROGRAMS are on the one side, that's not changing, Do you expect Michigan to fall off the map? Wisky and Nebby are strong on the one side at times but its clearly not equal. Then we got slammed with both of those programs for crossovers

Just disappointing that we have arrived in our new league with one of our weaker teams of the last decade and with recruiting tailing off. Other than increased ticket sales/donations, we have not been able to upgrade our program and are making a poor initial impression on the B1G fans who knew very little about RU. Hopefully our leaders make some good decisions over the next few months and restore hope to our fanbase.
