Crazy thing is that New Jerseyan has never bought into the Rutgers football program as schools like State Penn and Tennessee. Don’t know why but I don’t think they ever will. I move to Central PA years ago and hated StAte Penn. But I have to admit their fans stick with them through thick and thinHe is getting absolutely destroyed in the comments.
It’s great to see the support for Rutgers athletics.
He’s barking up the wrong tree with this tired and lazy comparison. This isn’t your fathers Rutgers and he better realize that if wants to be the next governor.
People can rip Murphy all they want for politics but we all need to appreciate how friendly and supportive he’s been to Rutgers, especially Rutgers atheltics.

Going to SUNY-Binghamton is not proof he couldn't get into Rutgers. Binghamton's SAT range is actually higher. Yes, Fulop is wrong, but let's keep ourselves in the realm of fact.Local boy couldn't get into RU, hence his animosity. "Fulop was born in Edison, New Jersey, to Jewish parents, Carmen and Arthur Fulop.[10] His parents were both born in Romania. His father grew up in Israel and was a sniper in the Golani Brigade during the Six-Day War.[11] He owned a delicatessen in Newark, New Jersey, where Fulop often worked, and his mother Carmen, the daughter of Holocaust survivors, worked in an immigration services office helping others gain citizenship. Through the sixth grade, Fulop attended Rabbi Pesach Raymon Yeshiva, an Orthodox Jewish elementary school in Highland Park, New Jersey, though he himself was not observant. For his last two years of elementary school and his first two years of high school, Fulop attended Solomon Schechter Day School of Essex and Union (now Golda Och Academy) in West Orange, New Jersey.[12][13][14]
Fulop graduated from J. P. Stevens High School. He went to Harpur College at Binghamton University where he graduated in 1999."
Jesus, nobody is that bad. Maybe Beetlejuice in Chicago, Ted Wheeler or London BreedFulop is the Jersey version of De Blasio.
Don't let facts get in the way of a twitter rant. He is pandering to the uninformed which seems to work well in this country when it comes to votingOnce again, someone getting it all wrong and ignoring the facts. Rutgers spends million on football from the million it generates from football. Football at Rutgers turns a profit and then partially funds other non-revenue sports. The spending on football has nothing to do with what the faculty gets paid.
About all the criticism going Fulop's way... RIGHT ON!
What an ass! If he thought such a comment was a good idea, you have to question his judgment.
Game over. Jerusalem Pizza in Highland Park needs to ban him. (if you need a Kosher pizza.. that is the place)
BTW.. if the RU Profs bring in $100M in research grants but spends $100M in doing the research.. is that any different than the football team doing the same thing? Sometimes the research produces something of lasting value, I suppose, sometimes not. Same for football... produces name recognition.. enjoyment for fans and alums... training in all manner of athletics and academics for at least 100 students... degrees for most.
Here’s what a grandstanding, obnoxious, RU-hating twerp looks like:

That is what winning year after year and the occasional national championship will do for you. It is a cult due to the winning. Schiano already garners that same level of devotion from a minority of our fans for doing very little, imagine the following he would have if he won at that level.That’s what cults do. Continuing to support a football program that actively ENABLED a child ass raper for years is not something to admire.
But yes, it’s a shame that RU does not get the support of its general population the way that other State U s do
Its easy to see why he made the comment. Think of who the biggest donors are to dems campaigns. Teachers unions. Hes getting on his knees for themAbout all the criticism going Fulop's way... RIGHT ON!

You can be those things and still be a political grandstander like DeBlasio.Fulop is a marine corp Iraq veteran and multi millionaire. To reject him as being a "twerp" or inconsequential is a weird, uninformed take. And ironic considering we're saying he's "uninformed" on the sleeping giant that is Rutgers football
OK but he's not a twerp, clown, etc. Zero chance people would say that to his face.You can be those things and still be a political grandstander like DeBlasio.
True and true on Kyk since he is on record as interrupting the National Anthem at the RAC already.OK but he's not a twerp, clown, etc. Zero chance people would say that to his face.
...Actually, maybe @kyk1827 would say that to his face. But zero chance anyone else would
What happened there?Guy is a jackass. Pisses off RU alums and students yesterday then announces his Governor run by pissing off families of 9/11 victims today. I can't wait to see this guy go down like the Hindenburg in the primaries.
Go on Twitter and check out his clip announcing his run for Governor.What happened there?
interrupting? LOLTrue and true on Kyk since he is on record as interrupting the National Anthem at the RAC already.
