The difference is in the sheer volume of fans "connected" to the program. We have a smaller fan base that has been emotionally beat down to the lowest possible level for a P5 school. For the fan base overall, apathy is arguably the biggest emotion, just above or below outrage.
Let's (loudly) show Hobbs our opinion at the game Tuesday night
- Thread starter Joey Bacala
- Start date
The fan support for our program has dwindled down over the past decade. The answer to your thoughts is that there are few if any rabid fans left We have sucked for a decade, fans have left for a decade, and a lot of the passion is no longer there
The fans that remain are pretty well beaten up and pre programed by the shocking and
Damaging decisions by the administration
I am not shocked by what happened here because it is typical RU
With that in mind, I predict AC Will be hired, he is not ready, and we have another five to seven year misfire. And disgrace to the university continues
I credit the fans of Tennessee, the fan support has not wavered as much as it has here. We have been down too long, and our brief periods of success were never sustained to
have that rabid a fanbase

I actually like Russ, but you have to think he's trolling Rutgers with comments like that.

could well be, or done tongue-in-cheek
thing is, the students themselves probably know little about Greg and his history here, they were pretty young at the time of him being here....
I have been reading a lot of links in regards to donors pulling out....this, if anything, would make a lot more of an impression as opposed to any "demonstrations"
New chant for Patrick Hobbs
Leader: Pat Hobbs
Stands: Penis Head
(Clasp hands above head to symbolize what we think of Hobbs)
Do that at every game moving forward.
Please take your protests elsewhere like College Avenue or another place. Our basketball team is respectable and should not have to endure this. You guys are acting like this is the most important thing in the world. You very possibly never lost a beloved member of your family. That is so much more important. Get a grip on life and what is really important.
I agree - let's not drag the basketball program and Steve Pikiell into the football drama - it's not fair to them
Nobody is comparing this to the loss of a family member. Only you are.
Fans and supporters of the program have the right to show how they feel when he is present, given the opportunity.
Jesus, a chant or two or some yelling at Hobbs is not going to effect the players one bit on the court. Gotta be kidding me.
After the national anthem, and I mean after the anthem is done (do not disrespect the anthem). Everyone should remain standing, doing the chop and chanting Schi-an-o during the opposing teams introductions. Drown out the PA announcer for BTN. Then stop during our team intros. Enjoy the game.
No way can you assume that.....I am pro Schiano BTW.
If we paid a ton and Schiano ultimately failed that could be the death blow.
But that was the chance we HAD to take. Let him try to finish the job he started.
Best of Luck,
Groz
The best thing that could happen would be Schiano and his kids show up to the game. I want to see things be positive.
But NOT hiring Schiano has already cost more than 3,000 season tix in just 48 hours, and millions in donations. No, I don't have a link, but I've heard this stated credibly elsewhere.
Hobbs and Barchi just sentenced Rutgers to a self-imposed Death Penalty from which the program will not recover anytime soon. They're executing a "let's hire cheap and hope we strike lightning in a bottle" plan.
I realize that. I would be a +2 with a Schiano hire.
Hire him yesterday and make a Black Friday offer of anyone who cancelled in the past 2 years to get back their consecutive season ticket streak for priority points.
Great points. I didn't take into consideration the smaller, less connected fan base that has become understandably apathetic.
They have the right to embarrass one of their own, while being covered on national TV? Doesn't this school embarrass
itself enough?
I have been thinking, how long has Rutgers been a joke, so I looked up some things and found some funny ones.
1. They named the school after the colonel promised a large sum of money. Turns our it wasn't nearly as much as
believed.
2. They lost the man's body for 140 years.
3. We had a professor that taught here for many years and never new he was a decendant of the colonel.
I bet the list could go on and on.

what you have been through some people will never understand...to watch loved ones suffer ,while feeling hopeless about the situation.....makes one an emotional wreck.....my father didn't have cancer, but, was mentally ill, and physically ill.....hadn't smiled in two years, and died......heartbreaking ....I feel for you sir, and pray to god you recover...but, losing a wife, and twin must have been devastating.....people need to put their priorities in order....sure I follow ru fb, but, other things come first.....godbless you for your treatment, and recovery
Damn, Pat showed and sat from row the whole game. Called your bluff!
