Did we? I thought we weren't invited.We turned the Acc down before we went to the B1G. Best move Rutgers ever made.
Syracuse has ZERO rushing yards for the game! That's really hard to accomplish.
They're really not. The only things that matter is the final score and the W-L records. Here's some perspective from the Big 12 on yards from another thread about VT's QB Drones. Sorry to quote myself.I'm told that those kind of numbers aren't important.
Drones transferred in from Baylor (there 2021 and 2022). Three star recruit with a very solid offer list.
Wells transferred into VT a year earlier from Marshall, where he had a solid year in 2021 (3532 passing yards), but his TD/INT ratio was 16/13. Last year at tech, he had a 9/9 TD/INT ratio. His completion percentage at Marshall in 2021 was 66.3%, but that fell to 53.2% this year.
Baylor went with Blake Shapen over Drones, and he has been fairly reliable, and Baylor has 400 passing yards/game, but Baylor is near the bottom of the Big 12 in points/game. In Big 12 games, they score only 22 points/game, where top teams are at 35 points per game.
Interesting, UCF leads Big 12 in 500 passing yards/game, but they are 0-4 in conference. 🤷♂️
We most certainly had an opportunity just before B1G entrance. It was never entertained seriously.Did we? I thought we weren't invited.
Might want their TE if he has any eligibility. He seemed like the only one trying and can actually catch a pass.We should take their RB. He’s decent and would make a good back up next season.
Alums activate.
Our lil bro. It's flattering.I do find it odd that they get blown out by Va Tech and start spewing hatred at Rutgers on social media. Makes no sense.
Did not realize that happened.We turned the Acc down before we went to the B1G. Best move Rutgers ever made.
Northwestern, Sparty, and Indiana would probably kick Cuse's ass.Lots of salt being spilled on the syracusefan board. Hatred for Rutgers is strong over there. They are still living on past successes from the 70’s and 80’s.
Is that how it went down? I thought we weren't asked and ended up in that scrub league for a year and then the BIG came calling. I don't know I am just asking.We turned the Acc down before we went to the B1G. Best move Rutgers ever made.

It did not go down publically like that. But we knew we were getting in at the time the ACC expanded and so did the ACC. Bank on that. Conference expansion is always done behind the scenes. The ground work is always laid well before it is made official.this is the first time I ever heard RU being offered and turning down the ACC.
if true it wasnt made public because this board would have absolutely melted-down NUCLEAR-STYLE if RU turned down the ACC at that particular time.
thus, I doubt the vailidity of this
As fans, we were looking for a life raft because the big east fell apartthis is the first time I ever heard RU being offered and turning down the ACC.

definitely not trueIt's also my understanding that Rutgers knew they were next in line for Big Ten expansion for two or three years before it actually happened. Obviously they couldnt go public with that
Shelby is not a Cuse fan. Strange how invented falsehoods become perception. He’s mostly indifferent about the Orange in football, only rooting for them when they play teams he truly does not like at all, like ND or Clemson. Shelby likes when blue bloods lose.Rough night for Sewercuse fans such as shellbee
RU was never offered and turned down the ACC. That was malicious rumor started by a guy here whose wife worked in the Athletic office and then propagated by areyounuts. forget the other posterthis is the first time I ever heard RU being offered and turning down the ACC.

I told everyone it was bs, even battled the old owner but alas, I was right as we found out when history validated and articles confirmed.
lol, you think if offered we'd of said no? We din't know about BIG till 6hrs before first PUBLIC announcement.
there was a lot that happened
At the time, the ACC would have been viewed as favorably or even moreso than the B1G by most RU people.I can’t imagine RU would have said no to the ACC at that time - being stuck in the waste land of the AAC and we said “no” to relative life raft (at the time) of the ACC?!?
Yeah, no.
Only would have been remotely possible if the Big10 thing was absolutely 100% in the bag
Fwiw I don’t even remember the discussion on here (but I did some time off for a while so not sure if the timing coincided with my self-imposed time away from this board)
completely revisionist history. We weren’t turning down anythingthis is the first time I ever heard RU being offered and turning down the ACC.

I don't know if any of you remember that time but I was arguing with near the whole board. It was nuts and they all were in on it when that guy (I forget his handle) and nuts drove it hard. It was all bs and he either outright lied or misheard something and then he ran with it, then the rest was history. lolI can’t imagine RU would have said no to the ACC at that time - being stuck in the waste land of the AAC and we said “no” to relative life raft (at the time) of the ACC?!?

That was the game where Khaseem Greene absolutely decleated Nassib.Posted this on another thread. This, along with the Tim Brown/UConn TD, are among my favorite RU clips.
Watch from about 9:00 for one minute. It's not queued up properly
"Every F**king Time!!!!"
We wouldn’t have said no if the ACC officially offered. But I do think it’s possible the ACC knew the BIG would be coming after Rutgers and decided to pouch Syracuse. I can’t see why they would’ve picked them over us in the first place other than hoops at that time which don’t drive the boat.I can’t imagine RU would have said no to the ACC at that time - being stuck in the waste land of the AAC and we said “no” to relative life raft (at the time) of the ACC?!?

to even think we'd turn down an ACC invite or were told by the BIG that were next in line 3yrs prior is absurd. People here really are that dumb it seems. There is very little common sense any longer
I remember directly refuting many things only to be validated, my friend worked in BIG office.
who really cares, we are where we belong and we are BIG!
You and all your buddies.

Did too.So just a stupid throwaway. Most RU people definitely didn't view the ACC just as favorably (or even moreso) than the B1G.
