I'm Jealous of St. John's

[The RUT]

Sue me.

Save me the NIL Mike Repole talking point, their University made a commitment to winning and went for it. Incredibly jealous of what they've been able to do.

They can put their eggs in one basket. No football.

 

[SBP]

Love their interior passing . Running good stuff. We don’t.

 

[RUBlackout7]

Really shows how bad of a coach Pike is

 

[SBP]

Luis =Baker

 

[Smols]

Watching the game. That screaming woman needs to STFU. screaming the whole game

 

[The RUT]

St. John's with a momentum grab and Pitino immediately working the refs on the timeout.

 

[Mr Magoo]

I thought the same regarding the woman. But damn. The atmosphere is crazy.

 

[superfan01]

Wow. Never seen the garden like that.

 

[The RUT]

I thought the same. But damn. The atmosphere is crazy.

NY loves a winner

 

[kt124]

I’m convinced Pitino wouldve had us top 4 in the B1G this past season with our same roster

 

[bac2therac]

Pitino legendary

 

[RUJMM78]

When you watch St.Johns play ,you see a well coached team at both ends of the court.

 

[Degaz-RU]

I’m jealous of St. John’s.

I’m jealous of Maryland.

I’m jealous of Illinois.

I’m jealous of Michigan.

I’m jealous of Michigan State.

I’m jealous of just about any team that has top level players and that got productive portal players and turned that into 20+ wins.

Nah, those teams have had consistent success for years. They've always been around.

St. John's knows what it's like to be in the toilet and have apathy run through the program. They have felt the pain RU fans have felt. They're right up the road and have captured the market we claim we want to capture.

They have a university that understands the importance of athletics, while RU is still dealing with the enemy within. Even our own fan base.

There's a percentage of our fan base and university that would push back on the thought of hiring Pitino because he's "too slimy." Think about that. This place sucks.

 

[Zak57]

Then go root for them and their scumbag coach. No one is making you root for Rutgers.

Martini and Hayes and Derkack didn't cut it for you?

 

[RUJMM78]

Think about the recent success at St.Peters as compared to Rutgers winning only one NCAA game in ten years.

 

[MCKnight2004]

I’m convinced Pitino wouldve had us top 4 in the B1G this past season with our same roster

Pitino will beat you with his players, Pitino will beat you with your players, Pitino will take 5 guys off the streets and beat you too

 

[RUTrack94]

I am actually rooting for them and hope they go far.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

before everyone continues to bad mouth our Program …we brought 18,000 to MSG for a .500 team desperate to Will them to victory on a hope they would go on a run to get to the ncaa


When (not If) this Program becomes a big winner …it will be blow the roof of the RAC and the area.

The next AD needs to find the money in this area to see this vision …it’s out there .
Need to sell the vision and get done

The entire school is on the rise …and if the revenue sports figure it out ….

With Pike as the coach there is no when.

To do so we need a real AD. Not a political hack who's more interested in a particular coach and uninterested in NIL.

Absolutely we need a home run hire at AD.

I won’t get into the stories over the last 30
Years ….but the current climate gives our school more power and more ability to determine its own destiny by leveragknv its potential resources of being in the New Jersey /New York market than ever to make our revenue programs legit in the big ten

We need someone who has the vision to make it happen

 

[StevieB160]

Pitino was hired and helped the Johnnies reach their climax in basically 15 seconds. One of the all time greats.

 

[ru66]

They do look great but if they don't meet the now, huge expectations, it will be another disaster in many people's mind.

 

[ScarletNYC]

BS, Pitino himself said he didn't think it would happen this quickly. A Big East double by itself is a success

 

[SHUSource]

Spare you the “Mike Repole talking point” when it is the single biggest reason you are jealous of St. John’s? (A sentence never before uttered in history?)

 

[ru66]

So if they don't make it to the sweet 16 or lose even earlier there won't be disappointment. BS

 

[ScarletNYC]

Oh it would. But it wouldn't come close to the disappointment of this squad. There are levels.

 

[Hondo77]

The only time I was ever jealous of St. John's was when they were in the Big East and we were in the Atlantic 10.

Repole and Pitino go back 15 years together in horse racing. Repole had separated himself from SJU because he didn’t think they were committed to winning. Without his pressure and money they don’t hire Pitino. And without Repole’s commitment to NIL Pitino doesn’t take the job.

SJU doesn’t have one without the other.

This. Stop this "the university made a commitment to winning bs...". Repole made a $$$ commitment for a coach he trusted and knew. This doesn't mean Pitino isnt a good coach, but he is better coach when he has a large budget for NIL.

 

[socaldave]

Our administration is a Joke we could have hired Pitino instead of Pike
But Rutgers was a virtuous institution so we hired Pike, while in the meantime 2 catholic schools hired Pitino.
Rutgers represent everything that is wrong with our education systems and the people it attracts to run it!

 

[RULoyal]

They can put their eggs in one basket. No football.

And only 16 sports as opposed to RU (22)

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Really shows how bad of a coach Pike is

So the fact that Rutgers has been better than SJU for most of the Pike era?

Shack, respect your fandom, but we’ve been saying this stuff for 30 years, Sleeping Giant etc. We’re still waiting and we’re nowhere close to this program — or any other program in this downtrodden athletic department — becoming a big winner.

For hoops, this was the year to become a big winner, and Pike completely failed to capitalize on having not one but TWO generational talents. Now we have to restock the roster with (1) a coach who has severe talent evaluation deficiencies; and (2) a fanbase historically unwilling to open its pocketbooks (which means our NIL warchest will be dwarfed by probably 10 other B1G programs).

We have very little chance of becoming a big winner UNLESS we start buying good players like Michigan, Maryland, and St. John’s have done. I have no confidence that we will be able to do this.

Maybe I’m feeling overly negative and dejected after this disastrous season, but I’m having a hard time seeing any light at the end of this dark tunnel.

More like the ultimate failure in everything related to sports comes down to one thing which everyone dismisses for other problems:

Institutional support!

All blame goes to which conference we are in, how we can’t fund NIL, etc etc. all starts at the top and if more people saw a commitment from the school than maybe everything else happens as a result.

You hit the nail on the head about how this school and fans wouldn’t hire pitino .

Sometime in the future it might not be the worst idea to drop out of the BIG and not play professional sports in Piscataway . The whole culture of it here seems like the school and many fans root for revenue growth and not teams that would make the school proud

A great coach with Tons of NIL means a winner. We have a good coach and No NIL so we get what we just got.
