So I have a good friend who lives in Tennessee and is a die hard Tennessee fan. But he just got his first coaching job (we're both still in college) as a linebackers/receivers coach for a team that's kids ages 11-13. I jokingly told him I was going to send him some Rutgers gear so he could make sure the kids knew where to go for big time football. He told me to do it so I plan on sending a few apparel things. Should I go with R shirts, hats, or something else?
 
A lot of High Schools in the south have teams sporting "R"s. I would send shirts that say Rutgers,

 
I would contact the athletic department. My wife is a teacher in Florida and does so every once in awhile and they send stuff. She gives it out to the little Gator and 'Nole kids to bring home.
 
1. Hobbs should incentivize our merchandise deal in an effort to raise funds for the capital builds. i.e. Buy a T-Shirt, and a portion is donated to the Build Fund.

2. Take a serious look at our apparel. Michigan just signed a huge deal with Brand Jordan, and people camped out overnight for the gear.

3. Hobbs should send some apparel to high visibility people, and prominent Alumni. i.e. David Stern, Calista Flockhart, the CEO of Raytheon, the guy that's gonna play Luke Cage. Btw, Can we get Corey Booker to do a coin flip for homecoming.

4. Invite some of the prominent High School Coaches in the Non-revenue sports to attend some of the football games. Give em Great Seats, and a Swag Bag with nice gear (Champion or Nike).

Would love to see the Coach of St. Ben's Soccer, Eastern Women's Field Hockey, Paulsboro Wrestling, etc. . . on campus for Football.

and if he really wanted to hammer home the point, Hobbs/Barchi could reach out and host Mayors for one game, and High School Principals for another.

it's all about building relationships.

so yes, send the shirts, lol.
 
"Btw, Can we get Corey Booker to do a coin flip for homecoming."

So you want a Stanford grad to have the honor over anyone associated with RU? How does that make sense?

Could have sworn that Booker is a Senator from NJ.

Let me guess, you want Springsteen, lol. Why not get more creative, and reach out to Tom Cruise.

Personally, a little Taylor Swift action works better. She's been coming to the Jersey Shore her whole life, and her Social Media game is solid.

You're the one who suggests reaching out to someone with no real connection to RU other than state residence, not me.

Springsteen's more likely to do it at BC.

Bon Jovi? ND or Hamilton College.

There's enough famous NJ people with no connection to RU to cover a decade of coin flips. Hell, how about David Cassidy? At least I knew him when we were young children.
