PJ is a Penn State alumn, chill out. Having met the guy, I liked him, and he's absolutely all-in on RU. He's super interested in bringing forward elements of Rutgers history and celebrating them (throwback unis, promotions, multiple scarlet knights, etc.) trying new things that haven't been done before (Winter village), and upgrading previous elements into a whole new stage (the boardwalk). He's got some growing pains before he's completely settled in, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. The previous marketing director Rob Roselli was also a Penn State Alumnus, and he did great stuff for RU, and he got a Rutgers degree while here.
Trying new things, like playing the Nittany Lion roar over the stadium sound system during RU home games? I like new things that don't suck.
I don't know if it was him or the other PSU guy. It happened at least twice, and maybe more than that.
Once would have been too much.
Bro, I PROMISE you, if you graduated from Rutgers, worked for Rutgers for a decade after graduation, then got a better job offer at another university, you are still going to think fondly of Rutgers… Shoot it would be awful if our fans abandoned ship.
Lol, no thanks. I’d rather be a prison guard at rikers than deal with RU fans for a living
Please post a picture of both your girlfriend and ex girlfriend so we can determine if your comparison is acceptable... :-)
This is ultimately my issue as well.
I don't get it. We're upset that somebody sent him a hat with an embroidered penis and testicles on it?
Interpretive art I guess.
I thought PSU’s game day stuff was horrible tbh. Dumpy stadium, dumpy speakers. It actually reminded me of Qualcomm in San Diego before it got knocked down.
We do have great RU alumni in marketing roles. A bunch of the Riot Squad has gone on to be a part of Rutgers athletics, and then you have folks like Mike Greengarten who is as Rutgers as they come and was part of marketing for years before moving into RFund.

It's part of the Penn State schtick so it's never going away, but to be fair it's that way at a great many stadiums now. Heaven forbid we should be mostly original.
To correct you on one point, our last coaching cycle the AD attempted to hire someone outside of enemy barracks but it was our fans who were screaming from the rafters for a coach who came up in the paterno coaching tree…. Seriously, get over yourself
Agree the roar was more than a 1 game issue. If PJ is the "reason" for the boardwalk and some other pre game festivities he should be commended. It was a fantastic pre game. But he is also responsible for the clusterf$%k in game production as well.
Or In the Air Tonight at a night game---this kiss of death.
Because I can pick and choose who I talk to and ignore. We (along with every other fanbase) have some absolute morons as fans who whole don’t represent the majority, are often the loudest and most obnoxious. Kinda like a guy who can’t see past all the amazing things RU is doing under pj (I loved the boardwalk this year) and try to chastise him because of a gift he was sent from a club he was involved with at his Alma mater. You couldn’t pay me enough, actually you could but Rutgers can’t afford it
Kind of like you posting all season long about Schiano and the direction of the program?
You can choose to ignore it, you don’t and that’s ok. But I’ve been spot on with Greg. Hated the hire, said it would divide the fanbase 3 years ago…. I’ve been right on everything
