Coach Pikiell Interview on BTN Live

[MadRU]

The interview was awesome as well as the love for our coach. The whole show mentioned Rutgers, the winning, the build by the coach, the word about our team as a “tough” team. Compliments everywhere. Crispin and Pizzo effusive in their praise . Along with Sean Doherty , they consistently say more good than bad about us. However, no sugarcoating it, this is a huge opportunity coming up with Indiana, at Ohio State and Michigan to finally send a shock wave through the rest of the conference. The kids are growing up and Geo and Eugene have to give us their effort and scoring from the last 2 games and we have a chance.

I think we beat Indiana. OSU on the road and then Michigan....don’t think so, but ya never know.

I just love the way he has embraced the opportunity to coach at Rutgers.

I just love the way he has embraced the opportunity to coach at Rutgers.

He embraced it from day 1. Hard to get how a guy with no ties sounds like an alumn. But I love it.

Got to get a t shirt that says..

"Nothin like the Jersey Pike"

I think as Crispin said that people don't realize what it takes to build a good foundation at a program that's been down for a while. Rutgers seems to have a good guy in Pike and it looks as if his recruiting is picking up. You're in a fertile area for BB, and there's no reason the Knights shouldn't be a contender in a couple of years. Beat Indiana and you might pass my Northwestern guys in the standings. We have to play Maryland at their place, and the Twerps are going to be highly pissed off after losing to the Illini.

IMHO, he sounds much better than many of our alums.

The ones that don't teach rebounding?

Wasn't really thinking about EJ; more about our constantly complaining, belly-aching fans who are alums.

Yup. Losers complain. They wallow in the RU screw (hate that name for the new podcast) instead of sucking it up and figuring out a way to forge through the grind.

I love Pike’s positivity. Winners are optimistic, visionary, ambitious and appreciative of the opportunities and challenges they have in life. Winners will good things to happen. Pike is a winner.

 

[RUChow]

I just love the way he has embraced the opportunity to coach at Rutgers.

Yeah, just like the other guy.

How can you not pull for Pikiell? His enthusiasm , upbeat positive approach, love for his job , the kids , and the university , and exploding pride in the foundation he's building are just some of the reasons for pulling for his success.
