Elite 11 update thread

Our buddy in Philadelphia tore up the same event last summer I believe and he is no longer with us. These guys are 17 and not throwing in a live scrimmage that means anything. Right now this is all lipstick on a pig..He looks the part. Let's watch him in action this fall.
Rah, rah. [eyeroll]
Maybe after we actually win something i'll start rooting for our division rivals to become even stronger.
----------
the point is that the league is strong, and will remain that way.... the best thing we can do is try to get there ourselves in talent, not just hope for some reason that the other teams fail at recruiting....they will not...this is not the big east anymore.
What? You're only proving my point. Our division is already powerful. We have proved nothing to this point and its not going to get any easier for us.
If anything we WANTED the old big east teams to succeed because of the BCS system & our desperate need for a strong schedule.
We have a playoff system now. It doesn't matter how strong our opponents are anymore. Our success is dictated by our ability to get to the B1G championship. You get there by winning as many conference games as possible. So why would I cheer for that process to be even more improbable? Our ultimate goal is to win a National Championship, not celebrate the success of our opponents. I want US to become harder to beat, not them.

the only thing I am trying to say here is that you might as well accept the fact that each year a lot of big 10 teams are going to recruit some of the best players in the country, and we should do the best that we can to equal that.... that is it....
It is not cheering for, or celebrating the success of others recruiting, it is understanding it is going to happen every year, and there is nothing we can do to prevent it....... I am not "cheering" for their success
you don't have to tell me that we have done nothing so far, I already know that..... I hope to slowly build to the level of a top big 10 team.... it will take time, but we can get there.

Schools have been using block letters for years. It been common well before Rutgers used it. I could see you having a point of it was a unique font or a logo. You could make the argument Rutgers ripped it off of Rydell High in Grease.
I agree. When schiano started pushing the block r, it was lauded as classic, clean and traditional. People favorably compared it to the Princeton p.
You are an idiot.
The Block "R" used by Rutgers is extremely unique, mainly because of the rounded top part of the R. It is not part of any standard font set, but rather one developed by Rutgers for its own use. It is proprietary. If you search public domain font sets, you won't find anything close to what we use.
Rydell High is a perfect example of a generic traditional block letter, where the letter will fit into an octagon. They are common for high schools to use.
"21% of the committed participants headed to the B1G East - nice!"
^ This is the initial comment that I had responded to before you had quoted me. If this isn't celebratory, then I don't know what to tell you.
Im not disagreeing with anything else you're saying at all, and I do get your point. But i'm not with the buddy buddy "lets go B1G East" philosophy; that's all. I find it odd when RU fans do that and was looking for an explanation from the poster, and he gave me a fair one. I'm more than aware that we aren't in the Old Big East anymore and I know what to expect. But maybe after we get a solid foothold in this football conference I will be more open to that type comraderey . Until them, Im not ready to do a backflip over what the other teams on our daunting schedule are accomplishing.
Johnathan Lewis, that kid balled out yesterday. I've gotta give him a lot of credit.

The Elite 11 Finals came to an end Sunday afternoon. Plenty could be gleaned from observing 24 of the nation’s best quarterbacks throw in a variety of different settings over a three day period.
