The guy who wrote the article is still a d*ck. He took shots at Rutgers every chance he could and twice on Sundays. Even if Rutgers won the national championship multiple times over the next decade, this writer would still have issues with Rutgers. Haters are always going to hate.

Not to defend the guy but the site has several writers. The one who wrote this article isn't the one you're thinking of.

If everyone who ever wrote a negative article about Rutgers .... my god people -- don't you realize we've brought the VAST majority of the negative press on ourselves? (Bill and Ted exempted, of course.) We have sucked in basketball forever, our revival in football appears very short-lived, our once-vaunted women's program is a disaster and the only thing we bring to the table besides wrestling (Big Ten is far too new to lacrosse to care much) is cable households.

So he might or might not have written negative articles about Rutgers. So what? Does not make him a "hater," which is a word that, like "respect" should be banned from sports conversations.

Big Ten fan bases did not want us. It's not a big deal. Live with it and move on.

You guys who are always quick to defend the media drive me nuts.

RU alums need to start attacking the media, not defending it. Being blocked from Dunleavy and Politi on Twitter are badges of honor, not shame.

Yeah, because that will really help.

I think you're being a little too sensitive. I thought the article was fair. Yes, we know all of the things he mentioned, and yes our arena needs to be refurbished/expanded etc. But he was very complimentary towards our football program and what the future can bring once we have the new facility in place.

Am I being a little sensitive? He wasn't giving the football program a compliment. He called the schedule weak. It was a backhanded compliment.

I agree that comment you mentioned "was weak" by him. Many of those years our conference was right on up there with the so-called power conferences. But I thought the rest of the article was fair. I don't let writers like this guy get to me, because I know what we are right now and know where we can and will go. Flood destroyed the program. Now I'm hoping Ash proves to be the right guy to turn this thing around.

I usually don't respond to articles like this, but this is one of the few I read and made a comment on it. I'm just tired of people using Rutgers as a punching bag because it's easy and there is some legit fear of what it could become if handled right. Like you said Flood set the program back years and that's why people take shots. It's step like this that continue to set the program back.
