I never said he should've been wearing Rutgers gear...Christie doesn't work for Rutgers but he does work for New Jersey, just saying.
Christie....show some NJ pride. U of Delaware fleece?
- Thread starter cgd284
- Start date
New Hampshire folks can tell you how much he has done for Jersey....he has been there for months, lol
ddsmugs, your sneakers post/pic is classic. Whether one is pro or anti Christie it is just great. Only one thing....are we sure these aren't Bozo Barchi's sneakers? Thanks for a good laugh on a snowy day.
But, if PA had a governor who was an RU grad and was wearing a Temple or Penn St. jacket I would not be surprised.
Nobody asked for him to wear a college jacket. But why did he wear a UD? Just wear a plain jacket or UNH since that's where he wants to be.
So? He's a UD alum not a Rutgers alum.
Ask a stupid question get a stupid answer.
And please tell me what's wrong with it. He a proud alum of his college, aren't you guys proud of your school?
Personally if I was governor of NJ I would wear a NJ jacket (or any other plain ski or overcoat). Even as a Rutgers grad, I would not wear Rutgers gear for a state emergency. He should be representing the state today. It shows his head is elsewhere. Or maybe the above posters are correct that the UD jacket is the only one that fits him.
I love when he announced that he was closing the bridges to NYC....
He's an experienced expert at that !

I've heard right wingers complain that Obama doesn't act as a cheerleader for America. Chris Christie wearing a jacket from a STATE school IN ANOTHER STATE--even a princeton jacket would be fine--surely doesn't count as cheerleading for his state, does it?
While I agree that this is a pretty pointless complaint, your awkward defense of Christie's sartorial choices isn't putting his best put forward.

1. Not from New Jersey, so your point is moot.

NotInRHouse: You telling anyone else not to be partisan is the funniest things on this board in years.
Are people really complaining about this when he just helped approve 25 million for our facilities fund? Some people on here are so ungrateful and nitpick everything.
CC is taking charge. Hes a true leader. I'd vote for him again if he was running. Compared to Corzine and McGreevey, hes Abe Lincoln.

Not even a Gemtor harness and an XXXXL t-shirt? That would be an interesting uniform. :scream:
If this was January of 2010 and
Jon Corzine stood before a bunch of microphones as the Governor of State of New Jersey
to speak to the citizens of New Jersey to make public safety statements
regarding an official state of emergency for the State of New Jersey ....
wearing a University of Illinois fleece ....
he would legitimately be called STUPID , TONE DEAF, and politically IGNORANT.
Regardless of who it is - a Governor who appears before his citizens in an official capacity to deal with a matter of critical importance - wearing some garment boldly displaying the State University of a neighboring state - is a fool .... a careless tone deaf fool.

But the question is:
Would the Snooki shirt have had as many complaints on this board as the Delaware fleece he was wearing .
Remember Jason and the Argonauts went through a lot of trouble to find that Fleece for Christie to wear.:p
The Governor of the State University doesn't work for the for the State University? Call me crazy but the State University represents the State all day, every day. If Christie represents the state then he wouldn't be wearing Delaware gear...I'm not butthurt, just talking common sense.
Yeah, let's hate on people for not having Jersey Pride while defending a governor that can't fit into a Rutgers shirt on a day of emergency, lol.
Not when you're Gov and you're going to be photographed or on TV. There's still some thought about what you put it on. At least it wasn't Cowboys or ND gear.
Yeah, those two bothered me way more (which still isn't very much at all) than the Udel fleece. I can kind of understand wearing your alma mater's gear, but FUND and the Cowgirls? Inexcusable.
When any public figure wears sports apparel, people notice, whether it was his alma mater or not, he should not have worn the fleece. It polarizes people but he actually enjoys doing that. He thinks it makes him look tough. He prides himself on being an "in your face" kind of guy". To put this in perspective…. It would be like the governor of Michigan who is running for President,(btw)and an Ohio State grad, wearing an Ohio State fleece, during an emergency, knowing millions of his Michigan constituents would be watching. It is certainly his right but in my humble opinion, classless and totally inappropriate. People notice clothing, it sends a message.
No, he didn't recommend Pat Hobbs, but I'm sure he'll take credit for it if it works out.
In all actuality, he should have been wearing a New Hampshire hat/fleece/jacket, would only make sense.
