For the record, I played D1 lacrosse (not for Rutgers) and at this point in my life my hiking puts me ahead of 90% of my peers.

Joe Calabrese covered Rutgers through some very lean years and did it without being condescending or piling on.
LOL. So far off base. Hiking is less than 10% of what I do. I could crush his pansy ass in any type of cardio, strength exercises, etc. I would not have noticed this but for your reply---thanks!!!
Of course you are. 😀
We seem to be dealing with bad case of internet muscles. Or put plainly, an asshole.
Oh good. I was just about to call my therapist and add a third session per day to deal with my newly discovered ordinaryness. 🤣
Just a really nice too. I remember traveling to Rhode Island to cover a basketball game for the Targum and both he and Bruce Johnson were just really good guys to the student media.
Who cares what Politi is or isn't worried about?
We are capable of voicing our negative opinion of the reputation of these writers and organizations because of what THEY have done. it has nothing to do with wether we've earned the right by leaving tailgates in time for the opening kickoff or not. I bet Politi has missed opening kickoffs and not even stayed for entire games.
Politi is a Rutgers beat writer.. right? We are his world and he routinely craps all over it.
As unspecial and ordinary as we are.. you take shots are fellow Rutgers fans in order to defend a writer and paper/organization that has done us dirty many times. Hell.. they even plagiarized content and story ideas from this board and probably made up fake accounts to say something here they could then quote in "fans are saying" stories.
heck.. maybe you are one of them.
Bottom line.. Rutgers fans, as ordinary as they are, are why Rutgers is in the Big Ten. While the S-L and NJ.com could have had a positive influence on Rutgers and its fan base over decades to help make it happen, they kept trying to belittle Rutgers and throw hurdles in R way.
F' em.

We are in the Big ten because of where we are located. The fans have absolutely nothing to do with Rutgers being in the Big Ten. Tv sets and eye balls and cable subscriptions is why we are BIG. Get a clue if it was because of fan bases we would be in the patriot league. This fanbase is small time and every measurable shows it. Season ticket sales donations to the school NIL donations. Politi wishes he had something to write about. If he or any other writers came to these boards they would get enough content to write stories on topics such as complaining of ticket prices or why I can’t bring my own bottles of water into the stadium. The concession running out of dollar dogs to sell and god help us if they venture onto the board where the hate is dished out on a daily basis. That board would bring down the entire site.
The leading fan base in the Patriot League is Holy Cross, with an average attendance of 8,300. Try again. I didn't look it up, but they might even complain.
Completely disagree with this. If Politi were a national writer some of your statement may be true. But he is not and the RU fanbase does "move the needle" in his little world. The rest of your rant is also not accurate - We are not Ohio State but we in the BiG and finally getting a full share - RU is moving up in almost every metric.
One last point - you are a sad troll.
WRONG.. we wouldn't even have survived as a football-playing school without the fans we have. And you don't get in the Big Ten without that.. even in this market.
But more to teh original point, the S-L and NJ.com were a hindrance to us and they were so by choice. I repeat, F' em... and anyone who blindly defends them by taking shots at Rutgers fans as well.
The highest comedy in all of this, is that if you were to ask Politi, he'd tell you he himself is an enormous part of Rutgers Football's current trajectory because of his tireless advocating for the return of Schiano. 😆 🤡
Guy is a bleeping joker. NJ Sports Media is the same as Philly Sports Media: the enemy.
It’s kinda ironic politi writes an article about trust …but Rutgers fans can’t trust nj.com
To be objective.
To be objective.
It doesn't explain the hatchet jobs when RU started winning after 2005.
Seems like some RU fans might not know how bad it was or maybe forgot because of the years gone by since then
Here's a reminder of how bad it was and bad enough for many a good RU fan to invest in an ad refuting the Star Ledgers lies

I get cranky when I post entries during the weekend. But once again, this could not wait. A series of articles by Star- Ledger reporters Ted Sherman and Josh Margolin have shown that Mulcahy was l...
