The issue is everything has become generic. I’m sorry, but this guy brings no added value to the department if he’s playing the same 10-15 songs that are being played at every other stadium.

Want a cool game day experience? Create an experience unique to Rutgers.

Utilize the revolutionary war.
Utilize the first college football game.
Utilize 1766.
Record former players at mid field firing the cannon and play it on the big screen.

Hell, do a whole clip of cannon wars between RU and Princeton.

Rutgers has a lot of really cool things and history to implement in game day operations to make it unique to the university and NJ.

It’s not that hard.
You know what is hard? Finding someone that has a creative mind with balls that isn’t afraid to think outside the box.

This PSU grad ain’t it and him having the lion roar dubbed into some of his songs proves that.
Or just use NJ artists.🤷‍♂️

It’s too bad we don’t have enough of those to choose from.🙄

That's his email. instead of sitting behind your keyboard send them an email. Give him feedback or suggestions. He's always looking for feedback & suggestions. Don't just whine about the problem that you think exists try to fix it.

There are clearly a few of us in this thread who have met & talked to PJ. We know he's on board.
 
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
Lol bold prediction, a new HC has supporters and detractors 3 years into his position.

You’ve just bitched to bitch. I’m not the type to put people on ignore.

Weren’t you claiming Schiano was in control of the offense as well?

I know you are all in and a huge fan of Rutgers. So I respect your input. But if the conversations and emails I and others have exchanged with his ultimate boss haven’t changed anything, I have little hope an email I send him directly will have any effect.

I don’t go to many games anymore since I live a couple thousand miles away, so not sure I should be sending anything in regards to game day feedback.

I just simply read what people complain about and send out ideas based on the feedback given here.

This is a free message board that’s free to read and free to post.

If I were in his position I’d think I would sign up for this forum and actively reach out for feedback and ways to improve fan experience.

But I’ve also learned over the years most people aren’t proactive like that with their work.

I called him out regarding the lion roar in an email. he not only answered but he fessed up and admitted guilt. He didn't have to do either of those things, certainly not admitting his guilt.
The marketing department knows that the on field product is less than entertaining these days. they are, clearly, trying to make the game day experience better.
I would note that he's not in charge of pretzels or bathrooms. Rather the game day experience itself.
you will never know if he is going to reply or take your input unless you try.
 
Speaking of the boardwalk, is he in charge of the forced cattle drive past it to get into the stadium as well? I have zero interest in it and just want to get into the stadium without having to shuffle with people who've never seen a rice ball before.

Is The Amazing PJ who I talk to about that as well?

God, you are...truly miserable.
 
There is so much stupidity in this thread. Only people who went to RU should be hired to run things here? Really? The boardwalk thing seemed to be a big hit and whomever worked on it did a great job. For all the complaints in here about some roar thing that probably only a handful of people notice or know about, it sounds like he took responsibility and worked to fix it. That sounds like the type of person you want working for your school. If he can fix the exit to the blue lot we can build him a statue at the exit.

Hire someone from Mexico, idc. Just no PSU.

Fair on the Boardwalk, but as @The RUT said above, it's not about hiring only Rutgers people. NOBODY SAID THAT. NOBODY. Sorry, the Lion Roar is a pretty big slap in the face to RU fans who continue have to endure that team's filthy fans cheer in our stadium for a program supported and harbored a pedolphile for years, many of who still think JoePa should be sainted. Hire from any school except PSU.
There are still plenty of things that need to get fixed with game day ops. Besides the lion roar, which we hopefully never hear again, the entrance, the horse video (which I don't care that much about but many others do care), the flow of music, the train horn, the lack of integration of the marching band into the flow of the game are issues. The Knightengale service needs much better management, and they could do a better job of staging buses back to the RAC lots and you got it--fix the Blue Lot exit plan. A lot to fix. How long has he been here? But let's slurp him for doing one thing well-the boardwalk.

Also, purge all PSU people. They shouldn’t be involved in RU athletics in any way.
So you’re finally ready to fire schiano? You know, our coach who’se second longest tenure at any employer is PSU… lol. Or do you just wanna pick and choose?

Guess we shouldn’t have hire Greg the first time around either since he was at PsU previously. So honestly, 06’ doesn’t even matter bc our coach came from PSU…

Do you realize how stupid you sound? You are picking and choosing who is acceptable from psu. You sound like a fan who simply answers based on the emotion of the moment rather than understanding there might be something to hiring from the school that half the damn state cheers for. If a transfer from PSU wants to come to Rutgers as we have seen countless times should we say ‘Screw them!’?

Let’s take it a step further, despite being a part of the academic community of the Big 10 should we deny potential grad students to RU who earned their bachelors at PSU?

You sound like a blithering fool right now… just stop. You are embarrassing yourself

So PJ is in charge of marketing & game day production. ..which has NOTHING to do with Knightingale, RAC busses or the Blue Lot.

As I've previously stated on this board,the drowning of the f psu chant is a request from high end donors, one of whom specifically told me this. The train horn is seemingly their best option. Is it overused at other points during the game? Absolutely.

Better music/band integration...send him an email of your song choices & thoughts.

So you don’t know the first thing about what the gameday atmosphere is actually like under PJ and instead choose to bitch and claim a guy who is doing a great job by all accounts from those of us who actually go to games who has a wife and child to support should be fired because you don’t like his Alma mater?

Take a step back for a minute… try to realize how ridiculous you sound
 
I can answer this question because I called PJ out on it and he immediately fessed up. He was in charge of the game day music at psu when he was there. The roar was diapered randomly in his music catalog. Unfortunately, he didn't get all of them out and, yes, it did roar a couple of times his first game. But it was fixed immediately & never happened again.



This. 150% this. PJ is absolutely all in on Rutgers.
Everything positive that occurred this year: Boardwalk, light show, drone show, banner flying over Xfinity/Philly during the pregame tailgate, Winter fest at the RAC....all PJ & his team.
Many visiting fans gave us high praise for our game day atmosphere.

Because our gameday atmosphere is GREAT! Honestly, with as bad as the team has been for years the fact that we still get as many fans as we do speaks volumes to the job PJ has done, particularly since unlike PSU, we actually have other nice entertainment options within an hours drive on a Saturday…

I took the buses every game to stadium and back to JMA. The only issue I encountered was the Nebraska game with school buses. We were caught in traffic. Other than that buses were awesome.
 
PJ sucks & loves James Franklin. He should have been fired immediately after the lion
roar at our stadium. If that was done at Ohio State they would have thrown him off a bridge.
This is the genius who came up with “Fireworks are you ready” The first thing I would do as an AD would be to fire him. Only RU would screw this up. RU telling me we can’t get an RU alum to do this job? We hire a PSU lover who wears his Lion pajamas & has pictures of Joe Pa all over his house. Can’t make this crap up. RU should be ashamed of this hire. Rates right up there with Ashe

And yet those of us who go to games love what he’s done since the lions roar blemish…

Maybe that’s a bigger indication that RU needs to step up it’s marketing program so when we conduct an interview process the best candidate isn’t from psu…

Amazing as well how I keep bringing up how Greg Schiano was a coach for psu for 6 years under paterno, but NO ONE seems to care regarding that…. The irony is rich. If you are going to complain at least be consistent.

Why would high end donors request this? They must really hate Pedofile U
 
We hire a fan boy of PSU. Would Ohio state hire a Michigan alum? Hell no
Give me a break. This guy laughs at RU behind closed doors. Came back to NJ
for the bigger paycheck.
We hired an extremely qualified candidate with an impressive resume who has enhanced the fan experience since joining..

How on earth are you making the leap from him posting a picture of a hat sent to him by a group of students at the school radio station he was involved with during his time as a student their to ‘He laughs at RU behind closed doors!’

Amazing the kind of childish, insane bullsh*t people will say under internet anonymity. Really takes a special kind of stupid to make that leap.

Greg is the only PSU connection that gets a pass for me.

But let’s not act like coaching there and graduating from there is the same thing.

Every PSU student or grad I’ve met has had a glossed eyes look on their face when they talk about PSU. Completely brainwashed individuals.

And Greg gets a pass because when RU is getting dick whipped by PSU each year I know it’s eating him alive. This PJ dude is 100% rooting for PSU and is happy they continuously drag their nuts on us each year.

Purge. All. PSU.

Lol, god almighty you are a treasure…

Do you have any clue how many Rutgers Faculty have Penn state degrees and vice versa? Do you understand that football is a game and you are literally calling for a guy to get fired because you don’t like his Alma mater? I don’t believe for a second you didn’t go into that game with a pre-conceived notion to find things to complain about PJ with. You honestly need to get over yourself.

Telling an institution they shouldn’t hire someone because they went to our big football rival is maybe the dumbest argument I’ve heard on this board and that is really saying something, congrats! That’s like saying Harvard shouldn’t hire a professor from Yale…. You have to be a special kind of stupid.

Pipe down idiot, you want to one damn game and want to act like an expert? You don’t know sh*t about the guy.

As for how psu people react to you, do you come at them and immediately ask them if Joe knew as though they were a troll on this board? Prolly a reason why their eyes gloss over you when you already go into a conversation with animosity. Just STFU Rut, your clueless here

just to be clear, by ‘Purge all PSU’ do you truly believe a potential student who wants to pursue their graduate degree from Rutgers who attended PSU for undergrad should be immediately ineligible? How about the hoards of kids from NJ who go to PSU initially for undergrad who potentially might need to move closer to home and attend RU, should we deny those students learning at our institution if they would otherwise qualify for no other reason that they were students at our hated football rival???

Try to understand how stupid you sound here…

‘Purge all PSU’- yea we definitely shouldn’t take notes from a program on Gameday PR who has figuratively OWNED us for 50 years and consistently draws 100k plus even vs nothing opponents… We have this figured out! Lol clown!

Yep going back to an old girlfriend never woks out. We laugh about Cuse, they named an OC replacement within 24 hrs. We laugh about Connecticut, they make a bowl. We laugh about Temple, they know who their QB will be for the next 3 years. We question Prime Time record but yet he can recruit a 5 star to Jackson State. Here we just say stay the course we are only in year 3 of a 5 year plan. I didn’t like the hire either, didn’t think he could change. We will never have a high power offense with GS
 
How did someone even come across this?

Is this what grown men do on a teenagers social media app?
Look for obscure Rutgers employees and creep on their profiles looking to get outraged?
 
Schiano doesn’t get gifts of PSU apparel and post them on his public profile. That’s the difference. Also, yes PJ can the white pompoms this isn’t your central PA rally I mean white out
 
The real crime in all of this is the incessant need for people to receive something as mundane as a ski hat and immediately tweet about it.
