I watched the entire event on BTN this morning and NEVER heard the word Tennessee spoken or Greg
responding to any question with this story's s quote:
“I think reflecting on it, just shows Jersey people are a little sharper,”

Seems like an outright fabrication

 

[vkj91]

Well he did. Your thread is the fake news. Definitely said it

 

[BK_TO_THE]

I believe he said it on the radio today, not the press conference

Tennessee should be dissed.

For what it’s worth, at these press conferences, it’s often the case that reporters get a minute or two to speak to people 1-on-1 on the record after the main televised part is done. Maybe that’s what happened here. Maybe not. I just know that one-on-ones are a part of a lot of these things. Maybe not today though.

He 100% said it. I actually was surprised when he did. Was his answer to question about different reactions of the fan bases

 

[sct1111]

Total non story. He was playing up NJ.

 

[RU85inFla]

Said it with reporters after cameras were off.

 

[Anteid]

Tennessee should be dissed.

even if he did say it so what , Tennessee has their coach and we have ours

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Big Freakin deal, get over it. Who cares. You don't think new Yorkers think they're better than everyone. Grow some balls folks and stand up for yourselves.

 

[RUforester72]

Yes. So what?

 

[WhiteBus]

F Tennessee and their cult fans. BTW how has running Greg out of town worked for them?? Losers. Glad Greg said it!

 

[ru1869]

Can’t wait for us to play Tennessee in a bowl game!!!

Oh boy will that be fun!!!!

 

[anon_ivydyf0amkzay]

If he did...props to him!

“oh rocky top, you’ll always be
A piece of **** to me
F*** you rocky top
Go to hell tennessee”

one of their rivals (Kentucky I think) sings this to them...

 

[SHUSource]

That would be irresistible ... you’d think some bowl would want that to happen.

 

[WhiteBus]

They will never make a bowl game but maybe Rutgers can play in the Music City Bowl and really rub it in.

 

[Rutgers36]

I watched the whole press conference. He did not say that. Maybe he said that elsewhere. If he did, good for him!

 

[King of S]

Good for Greg!

 

[RUskoolie]

We ARE better than Tennessee. Outside of Nashville that state has no redeeming qualities. Knoxville still looks like it's the year 1955.

 

[DJ Spanky]

Completely agree, I watched the whole press conference also and never heard Tennessee mentioned.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

The Tennessee Cult on Twitter have become completely unhinged due to that quote.

 

[Blitz8RUCrazy]

It was said off camera. There was a transcript posted on the round table showing it. It's maybe a premium link i dunno.

I like it. He tells it like it is. Non of this PC bullshit that's going around...

 

[ScarletCrimson]

Tennessee can bite me.

 

[vkj91]

Said it with reporters after cameras were off.

I watched it on R Vision. Definitely with cameras

They are going to a bowl this year.

Agree. Don’t care that he said it. If they didn’t want him at the time and thought they could do better, fine. But they created a phony justification for their behavior. Let him get in what I think is a pretty mild dig at them.

 

[RULoyal]

The Tennessee Cult on Twitter have become completely unhinged due to that quote.

:cry:

 

[RUJohnny99]

Said it with reporters after cameras were off.

The same reporters that publicly bashed Hobbs for the last 3 weeks?

 

[hankee18]

Who cares what Tennessee or anyone else thinks of us anymore? F em all

This is a new Rutgers. Get on or get the hell out of the way

 

[graystork]

He said that people who don't convict people of crimes based on triple hearsay, inadmissible statements that aren't subject to cross-examination are sharper than mob-driven, media-incited football fans who think their team deserves Bear Bryant.

Seems eminently reasonable to me.

whoa . THERE'S ALWAYS DOLLY WOOD.

 

[Blitz8RUCrazy]

Tennessee fans not happy.
Lots of bad mouthing Rutgers and NJ.

It's ironic but they don't really disprove Schiano's assertion...

Good. They should be unhappy. They're not very sharp.

lol! This. It’s not like he said anything that was untrue.

Yeah, I could have sworn I heard it too.

I also don’t understand that place. I’ve been to more then half of the SEC campuses and I like Knoxville and Tennessee the least next to perhaps Lexington and Kentucky. It’s a cold concrete campus for the most part with a very strange cult-like subculture...kind of eery. From those I’ve been to, I’ve liked Alabama the best by far.

 

[RUich]

Did not hear it during the event.
Considering how he was depicted by those hillbillies, they deserve to
be dissed. Non story.
