Be HONEST, are you happy about beating Indiana?

No. I still don't think we don't get to 6.
I still think Flood gets fired.
I still think this team has more talent than many of our fans do.
I think they have heart.

Well, actually losing those other games didn't wake us up; so I don't expect almost losing should do the trick.
Are you happy being a miserable sob?
I assume the answer to this question is complicated and probably requires several years of intense therapy.

Be honest...do you understand how football works? Not sure why some here expect blow out wins against teams in the BIG that we "perceive" as inferior. We are not there as a program yet nor should anyone expect us to be winning big in year two of the BIG. Any given Saturday....ask Michigan state fans if they are happy about almost losing to Rutgers. A win against a BIG team is a win. And guess what, there will be many more "close" wins in the future no matter how good we get. It's how football works...
I'll take a B1G win on the road any day of the week.
Yes. The key to the OP's question is in "almost." I am fvcking thrilled we almost lost to Indiana.
Winning a close game to any Big Ten team is going to be satisfying. Most likely, our games against Maryland and Indiana will be significant for our bowl hopes for many years. Let's enjoy them. it was a beautiful game today.
Agree. The B1G TV guys joked this is both teams Super Bowl. Not because the country cared but it will be key year in and out to getting a bowl game. We are 2-0 against a team that has had how many decades of B1G money and scheduling? Next week will be fun but Indiana is and will be more of a peer than OSU.
Be HONEST, are you looking for a sports columnist job at the Star Ledger? With that winner of a thread title, you'd fit right in there.
I'm glad we won but I'm very concerned as I have been for awhile...has beating Indiana become the measuring stick for this program? Yeah, Indiana has received B1G money for many years but they've also been a bad football team for many years. We have the upper hand on arguably the historically worst team in the B1G, yaaaay!
I'm glad with the win but if this game was a measuring stick then we're in trouble.

Our guys could have mailed it in in the 4th quarter, but they didn't. That makes me happy.
Winning on the road, something that we stink at historically, helps move the happy needle as well.

Happy to beat a team that went down to the wire against the #1 team in the country, doing so without their starting QB and losing their 2nd stringer during the game? Damn right I am.
Yes, I am happy "almost losing" to a team ranked ahead of us.
Of course, "almost losing" is asshole-speak for "winning".

Thanks for your input Mr. Moderator, lol. We beat another bad team in a close game and it's asshole-speak to be concerned about it. Maybe folks rejoicing over a win over Indiana is asshole-speak, lol.
If we could "almost lose" every week, tickets to games would be harder to come by. If going on the road and stealing a win against a favored conference opponent makes you unhappy compelling one to start a trash thread like this, then I believe he has no bloody clue what he's watching. And you too, for that matter.
Hey its a free anonymous message board where you can post anything and feel like a big shot!
Theres a complicated answer to a complicated question...
Rutgers had no business winning that game today...that qb shredded us apart and was non stop movin down the field...
We made two stops in their territory and got 0 points...
we missed 4 extra points and should have never even been tied! We were down 25 points in the 4th quarter which is 4 scores!!!!
And they clawed and fought and won the damn game!!!
More heart and character than anyone on this message board...
You better stand up and tip your hat and show some respect to Coach Flood, Chris Laviono, and that entire team...
Indiana was a better team today and the better team won...
That same team took the #4 team in the country down to the wire and if everyone wants to talk shit about the spike and how ridiculous it was well than we were supposed to win that game if not for the spike...
Well that same #4 team was outplayed today but won
Where does that put Rutgers?
The answer is #1 in all our hearts and if after today thats not the case than u are not apart of this program

Indiana was favored against us, shocking...we squeezed out a win against the worst team in the league, shocking. This program hasn't gotten better since Flood took over, in fact we have regressed...if you can't see that then you have no bloody clue...and that's not ass-hole speak Mr. Moderator.
Today's game was fun to watch, two not so good teams fighting tooth and nail for a win. I'm glad we won but we didn't exactly set the college football world on fire.
Kyle Flood has proven that we have atleast one conference win every year for the foreseeable future, thank you Indiana. Flood isn't Knute Rockne because we beat Indiana, although he may think he is.
Curious...where did you read that IU was the worst team in the conference? Show your work.
Indiana was the better team and the better team won???? Hey coach Flood, I don't know if you're drunk and smoking weed or perfectly sober and up late proofing your players class work...either way, just be thankful that Indiana was our opponent today. Bad teams find a way to lose games, thankfully Indiana is as bad as we are...when you turn the ball over 3 times leading to 21 points when you're up by 25 points is clearly the work of a very bad team. I give our team credit for taking advantage of it but the folks I watched the game with were honestly saying, (when they were up 52-27), that they needed to keep scoring to win the game....unfortunately for them we were right, lol.
Was on the way to a wedding and listening on BTN after there second straight TD I could feel a blowout and let my wife turn on the SPA radio station to calm me down as my the blood had drained out f my hands as they squeezed the steering wheel in anger . Got to the wedding and forgot about the game for a few hours.
When i saw that we had one and what we had to done to win was a great feeling . They stole one back on the road; made me think right away like this could be a big catalyst like the Md. game.
This team has heart and has never gotten down on themselves. As much as football is a game of skill and talent it is very much a game of aggression, desire, and confidence.
Hopefully this win gives them the confidence to take on OSU.
Enjoy your great Sunday. The Mets and Rutgers both won !

Are you happy almost beating MSU, who aost lost to Michigan...on the same day we almost lost to a team that almost won against the team we play next week??
LoL get a life.
Lol, seriously...my bad, Indiana is actually one of the best teams in the league, not just this year but every year...that's common knowledge.
I get it, football is a game of inches...so when you almost win it's the same as winning, and when the team you almost won against wins against any other team that counts as a win for us. Thank you for solving the riddle of my life.
The new Nike slogan: JUST ALMOST DO IT....sponsored by Rutgers Football, lol.
Is it name calling and denigrating time already, how predictable.
WTF is wrong with you that you can't savor an incredible comeback win on the road against a decent IU team? Do you have to point out our personnel and coaching flaws in every post for some psychotic reason? Do you not think most fans around here don't know we're a mediocre team?
Wow, thanks for pointing out that we're a mediocre team 4 years into the Flood era...I've said repeatedly, I'm glad we won, just saying.
Yeah bc we are going to Waltz in to the big ten eaat division and just run it. National titles on deck. Anything less is unacceptable. Now I'm laughing. Go root for bama or OSU man.
Okay, so I am interpreting your failure to produce any meaningful reaponse to be a tacit admission that you actually know very little about the conference, otherwise you'd have acknowledged that this was a win against a middle of the pack conference opponent, and not even close to the worst.
And so, the answer to the inane question posed by the OP is that I am happy "almost losing", aka winning, against a middle of the pack conference opponent on the road; particularly in the historical fashion that we did so. It was a great day and great game.
I like almost losing a lot better than almost winning.
You made backhanded comments about being glad we won that would make anyone suspicious of whether that's really true, especially since 99% of your posts were about denigrating our team, program, coaches, etc. I wanted Flood gone for the email scandal and loss of team discipline, but you don't see me saying that with every post or any post really - now's not the time for that, whih you simply don't seem to get. You can continue to spout negative crap after our best comeback win in effing 394 years and you'll continue to be viewed as a dbag for making such ridiculous posts. Your call.
