Flood booed

[RUsSKii]

Lol. Our fans have lost it completely. Amazing the type of things someone is willing to root for in order to protect his/her opinions.

Did I post anywhere that I booed coach Flood, or root against our own team for that matter? NO.

I just observed that booing did occur in the stadium in response, and personally thought that showing the Flood commercial during the game was ill-advised, because he is suspended on gamedays to begin with and his appearance on video invited distraction and further ire from an already loud fanbase. The reasons why may be stupid, but if that one commercial hadn't been played nobody would even mention this.

There was very noticeable booing during the Flood commercial in a stadium of 45,000+ people, and anyone claiming it was just a few people needs to get their hearing checked. Personally, despite the good cause I'm not interested in seeing the suspended head coach on the stadium's large scoreboard during this game. One could even argue that it was an unnecessary distraction to the team/acting head coach, not to mention technically contravening the university's own decision to allow Flood zero contact with the team on game days.

45,000 +? Lol clearly you weren't at the game.

I do agree it was a stupid move to run that ad though.

Um, yes I was at the game. And from years of going to games at the renovated stadium, I'm quite comfortable estimating that there were around 45k in-house during the 2nd quarter, around the time when the commercial in question was aired. Only the SE/SW end zone corners and upper decks had notable empty space st that time, which lines up with the missing 8k or so.

I agree that the crowd was late showing up to the game and started thinning out early in the 3rd Quarter, though.

Will never understand the B1G inviting us in and then starving us for what seems like an eternity. They certainly can't complain about the bad headlines, we don't have the money to fire and start over which is what any other vested member of the conference would have done with this situation.

Their people beat our people in negotiations.

For me, it was the day after the recruiting class signed. A career assistant OL coach at Rutgers is somehow going to continue the trajectory and lead the program to a perennial top twenty five team?

Was never going to happen, its too hard and if he had that sort of talent, he would have been on that path long ago. I was hoping for one year and out but then the defense gave us a great year and Rutgers decided to turn off the athletic budget spigot and we got stuck in the mud, where we remain.

Starting to think he's back no matter what happens this year. The financials are running this show and $950,000 is way better than $2.5 million.

For me it was 11-16-2013, Cincy at home. I was willing to write off the home blowout to Houston a few weeks earlier as one of those things, an aberration. A second straight home blowout to another team we should at least go down to the wire with had me concluding KF was in the deep end of the pool and that his 2012 success was clearly due to the Schiano leftover effect

Awful how short sighted some fans are here.

The booing was way louder for Flood.

The fans have come to expect Laviano to be terrible, but that boo was also a boo of Flood, for forcing him to be where he does not belong.

I agree, hiring a coach just to keep a recruiting class together is very short sighted, lol. It's amazing to me that people are mad at fans for not being happy with this mess but they support the people that created it.

I wonder how Kyle's contract negotiation is going?

Lol talk about spin.

I'll leave it at this:

This fanbase booed LJ Smith every time they showed him on the big screen for Nights in the NFL simply because he played for the Eagles.

While there were boos for Flood yesterday, they were not that loud considering the actions he's taken. Like I said I'm no "Blue sky Flood crowd" like you call it but the over dramatizing of things on here to fit ones agenda is getting ridiculous and making this board unreadable.

When I saw Flood in the screen I expected the booes to be louder. A large portion of this fanbase is just tired and disinterested from events of the past month which is sad.

IMO the booing both of Coach Flood and Laviano reflects far more negatively on the people doing the booing than it does on these two individuals.

I do not boo our coaches or players. I admit to joining in a chorus of boos about a call by the officials in one of the games. I also admit it was a classless thing to do.

 

[ag67]

A lot of us were holding out hope that all the diamonds in the rough we're going to explode on the scene. ...and nobody saw email gate and barrage of player arrests coming.

The extreme lack of depth at most positions is alarming. It's time to move on

Where in the world do you come up with this idea? If anything, our situation is just the opposite.

We had a boat load of players dismissed from our defensive back field, several of them first and second string. Yet somehow we had a defensive back field out there yesterday that performed reasonably well and showed potential to be more than decent - and that is with yet another starter missing from this game. Remember they have only had a few weeks of working together besides.

There are only a handful of teams in the country that could take these kinds of losses and not see a big drop in the level of play. I personally am impressed that they are developing as fast as they are.

Look at the defensive line. We have guys out and limping all over the place, yet we have a boat load of young players who are beginning to assert themselves at least a little. We had an effective defensive line in the 4th quarter composed of 4 guys listed as freshmen or red-shirt freshmen.

The next two games may well be ugly, but there are a lots of young, inexperience players out there who are gain a ton of valuable experience out there which will later make them better players.

Some of you make me laugh, or should I say cry. Have you ever coached or played? Losing your key starters always affects the way your team performs. Young players don't automatically step up; they make mistakes of inexperience in doing so - mistakes that cost you points and games.

We lose a couple of games we had hoped to win, and suddenly all the complainers think they are experts.

notinourhouse--your dislike for flood, and schiano , or most of anything related to RU, is alarming-- in reality you'll never be happy, even if we beat ohio state or lose to them ,or if RU does something positive outside of sports, it will be the same old crap--one way or the other you will be the same complainer searching for something about which to criticize RU

 

[NotInRHouse]

Yup I hate Schiano, that is why I called for him to come back here.

We have been waiting weeks now for something positive, by the way, beating KU or Norfolk doesn't count.
