GREATEST Rutgers Football Team EVER Assembled
- Thread starter rutgersal
- Start date
Of course we win. Those guys are all around 50 years old.
And Phillips is dead. So he won’t play .
A so called “conservative” guy in Tom Osborne gave Phillips a slap on the wrist for throwing a woman down the stairs.
Dr. Tom should have done better.
Have you looked at our record the last thirty years? I’m not sure why you are so consumed with my definition of a miserable season. If you want to define it, knock yourself out. I’m focused on how good we can be and that’s 12-0 regular season good
Oh, he still loves Gavin. Not in the context you suggest, however. Instead, in a creepy, fantasmagoric, imaginary sexual way.
I'll tell you what...it's gotten to the point that in regards to the defense, Al's takes are pretty much accurate... offense remains to be seen but if AK-47 can be what we hope the offensive predictions might not be that outlandish either..
Al - this is why nobody takes you seriously. You can’t compare this year’s VTech game to last at all (as a simple example). They were missing several key players for that game (do you think missing Powell didn’t impact our D vs Maryland? Of course it did and it’s the same thing. Assuming VTech doesn’t have another collection of key injuries, that’s a much tougher game this time and it’s also on the road.
Could we make a splash with a huge season? Absolutely. But stop acting like 8-4 would be this big disappointment. The reality is it would still mean pulling off a whole bunch of upset wins according to independent betting odds.

people getting so pissed off about this...what is the big deal? Take it easy lol
Because it’s fuel for the haters to jump on later. If we win 10 games they should set up a gold statue in Piscataway for Schiano. 8-9 wins would be a great season with marked progress - there should be no angle out there to float that we “dropped the ball” if we fell short of 10 wins. Thats why posts like this are annoying. Sets a completely unrealistic bar.
If you go through life worried about what others might say you'll never put yourself out there and take a chance at greatness.
And all this, without a dedicated football fieldhouse! Man, if we had one of them we'd go undefeated in the NFL.
So then why are you complaining that people have different viewpoints? It is after all a message board...duh.
Every other post on this board is a wildly-optimistic prediction of how the coming season will go (8-10 wins, recruiting juggernaut, likely to win conference, etc.). As it should be on a message board. But why does Al get attacked for his similar prediction?
Injuries are part of the game and Virginia Tech finished with the #22 rushing offense and the #95 ranked passing offense. Clearly they are a run oriented team and this plays into our strength of having a defense that is capable of stopping their rushing attack. Virginia Tech was able to run the ball well against ACC Teams, and averaged 189 yards per game on the season, yet only had 129 rushing yards against Rutgers, with Drones having a majority of the rushing yards. Rutgers by 14+
8-4 would be a successful season for Rutgers, though the team is capable of so much more
See you miss the false confidence Al actually has.
He doesn’t believe the team is capable of 12-0.
He isn’t setting an unrealistic bar.
He says it himself basically: The team should go 11-1 but 8-4 is a successful season.
He wants to prop up how great the team is while also not wanting be in a position to hold them team accountable if they miss the expectations.
The groundwork is already there: 7-5 is a great! Look at our record the last 30 years. Just ignore we have more talent than OSU and Bama.
How are you going to hold the team accountable? By posting criticisms on a messageboard? HA!
Holding the team accountable is not a concern of mine.
He does this all the time...and every time there are people in the comments going crazy about how they're "embarrassed", it's like ok wth is making you this angry to make some of these comments? I'm making an observation and a suggestion for fellow Rutgers fans. Things are changing for RU athletics, maybe a little positive energy would be a good thing for you guys . Sheesh, it's ok to be optimist
you go @rutgersal !!!! If you are right 🙏🙏🙏🙏, then you are are the Jersey oracle !! If not, I will just continue to love reading these posts. Can't lose cause it will be entertainment either way !!! GO RU !!!
You clearly have a bias since you can't accept that people are allowed to have different viewpoints with this response.
Stop chiding people if you can't be impartial.
We need a field house to be competitive with Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State, who are noticeably off the schedule. We are still a place that mostly recruits 3 stars. To have a better chance at the prize, we need 4 and 5 star recruits.
Penn State is spending $700M to upgrade their stadium. Such things don’t go unnoticed by recruits.
if he is right it will be the first time, hardly worthy of being the Jersey oracle.
Teams underperform to expectations all the time. Our 2007 team with Ray Rice, Kenny Britt, and Tiquan Underwood only won 7 Games, and ended up in the Toronto Bowl. Games are opportunities, not guarantees.
For us, any winning season is a good season, considering we’ve had so few of them.
Top 5 teams don't have fans hedging their bets like you are now.
Thank you for finally admitting you crave the attention. It's the first step towards recovery. You'll go into the denial phase next now that this has been highlighted.
PS - Most people don't post here for attention. They post to discuss something that interests them.
My fault, don't mean to police anyone. I just don't see any harm in it and everyone piling on rubs me the wrong way. (Pause) Lol no way every gets so pissed over this but hey maybe they do. Can't tell people how to feel I just thought they were obviously light hearted and not meant to be serious.
Since you're newer I'll fill you in, he has a history of taking these fraudulent missives and posting them on opponents boards and then acts like an a$$hat defending what he wrote there as well. Started doing it during Ash's tenure and has continued since. Frankly, people are tried of him making the fan base look stupid.
End of the day, it's within his right to do it and people have a right to disagree/express their frustration with him. He's RU's real life Don Quixote.
Clueless as usual. I’ve been actively since ‘96. Prior to that was on the AOL messageboards.Since you're newer I'll fill you in, he has a history of taking these fraudulent missives and posting them on opponents boards and then acts like an a$$hat defending what he wrote there as well.
