Greg finished strong with the # 28 overall class.
Lost the kid to UGA (no shame in that), Forester to Illinois (all accounts say we cooled on him), and the guard to USF (crowded OL room and close to home for him)

Otherwise, a solid overall class
I've been critical of Greg re. his coaching, but his recruiting is still very good

Now comes the hard part - getting over the hump
The middle of the road, B1G being a tough ass conference, hump
Clearly, easier said than done

Oregon, Michigan, Buckeye, USC and Cult are the clear top dogs (long term)
Cignetti is solid and IU has good NIL, so you have to figure they'll at least be in the mix
Fickell and Ferenz are solid coaches at very good programs, so they'll be up there

I'd put us a notch below that
Rutgers, Washington, Illinois, Sparty, UCLA
Then NW, Purdue, Maryland and Minnesota

Question is, how do we get to Sparty / Wiscy / Iowa's level (or IU's, at least this year), stay there, then keep elevating
Obviously, NIL is huge
Haven't heard anything re. the firm that Hobbs hired getting corporations on board

I believe the NIL reform will help level the playing field
But we're still behind the rest in dollars (ticket sales, merch, etc.) by a substantial margin

Hoping we can keep ascending, as I truly believe we can be a consistent top 15 program with the right buy in and commitment
No reason we can't get to Iowa/Wiscy/Sparty type levels on a consistent basis

Funny a FSU fan using "we"!! FSU is not a top 15 program nor a top 10 brand. My team Rutgers is better than FSU! You are the biggest phoney on the Rutgers Board!

You are one miserable prick

This is not an FSU vs. Rutgers dick swinging contest - we’re discussing the current state of the program, not your mental capacity

Your the clown that said on this board when FSU joins the Big Ten you can't wait till they kick Rutgers ass, not me. I just hate fake Rutgers fans.

You do the work. You must have been drunk at this time last year after the Pinstripe Bowl picked us. I quoted it so you can't delete it. Great year 2-10 BTW
Enjoy the ACC.

The Pinstripe Bowl you didn’t attend?
Still can’t believe you were once a proud fan - my how times have changed

Here’s a hint
Go to “search”
Then type in “Rent Free”

When JayDog pops up, you can show the masses what you alledge i said

The rent free problems are yours. I know you are a complete phoney. How long have you been an RU fan? Only on here for 3 years and Rutgers isn't your favorite team by your own admission.
I am still a proud Rutgers fan! You have no clue about my "fandom". Apparently you are a dumb fan!
I let you search for it. Because the drunk you is making the sober you realizes you could have said it. Happy hunting loser.

I’m not hunting for anything
You’re the once accusing, prove it

Been a fan since 94, the opener vs Kent State in the new stadium was my first game, followed by the Miami game in the rain where we greased the goalposts

Been on the board since 05
Started posting after reading for a number of years and meeting various posters throughout that time

Does the Short One have any other questions?

I don't have to prove nothing to a drunk FSU fan.
94 sure, right! Still a rookie and a phoney.
Funny it seems like I'm living rent free! 🤣🤣🤣

Why is USC in the top level? They have done nothing since Carrol left.

You have serious issues

Part of me feels bad for you
The other part, not so much

Regardless, I’d recommend talking to someone
Anyone
And doing it soon

Damn talking about living rent free, I'm a F-ing tumor in you brain. Mostly because you know you aren't a Rutgers fan like I am. FSU stupidity.

Another example of WhiteBus badmouthing another poster. He and a few others exhibit that continuing problem. Won't see it dealt with as long as some of the "Mods" are his buddies.

The guy is demented
I'm trying to talk football, and he insists on derailing the thread for his own selfish gain

It's a shame too; he was once a semi level-headed, ardent fan
Used to provide value to the board
And he used to actually attend games!

It's become a sad state of affairs for a truly broken man

You are the broken man. Your FSU football team sucks. My team, Rutgers, on the other hand has crawled out of Flood/Ash disaster and going to their 2nd bowl in a row! Broken? I couldn't be happier! While you are beyond miserable with FSU 2-10 season, no chance to leave the ACC and no longer a valuable brand for other conferences.
Seems like you side tracked the thread today. And who said I don't go to games? I enjoyed many games this year in person. You are always full of crap!
 
Bus guy…Rutgers is the better team this year, but you aren’t suggesting it’s a bigger, better and more valuable program are you ?

Why do you care if another dude who posts here has a different favorite team ?

This year sucked
Buuuutttttttt... in case you didn't realize (and being that you don't follow college FB, I'm sure you didn't), things are trending up

Hired Malzahn and White as coordinators
Knighton as DL coach
All solid

Currently sitting at 12th in recruiting rankings for this cycle
I'll say it again, this time slower...12th
Coming off 2-10
That, my friend, is called Brand

ACC is being worked on
As I've said countless times, February 1st is the date something will be announced
Either FSU leaving, or a reworked (to FSU's favor) ACC deal
Stay tuned

In regard to Rutgers, things are also looking up (which, if you actually read my opening monologue, was clearly stated)
In your haste to chastise JayDog, I'm sure you didn't even read it

Chances are though, you won't be attending the bowl game to celebrate the upward trajectory
I mean, you couldn't even bother to attend last year's bowl game, our first in a decade, a mere 40 miles away in the Bronx

Which, even for you, and even after sitting out Homecoming due to a chance of sprinkles, was a pretty low point in what once was an avid fan's career

B/c he's ****ed up
Plain and simple

Guy has some serious issues
I offered to talk things out with him at the Pinstripe Bowl last year, and he declined

Come to find out he didn't even attend the game
40k posts, but can't get off his ass to attend our first bowl game in a decade 40 miles from home

I know, it sounds crazy
But you can't make this stuff up

Low point??? It was a highlight of last year's season by having a tailgate in a bar with many fellow Rutgers Letterwinners!

Does NiL reform level the playing field? This assumes Rutgers comes up with 20 million in revenue to spend.

Shelby doesn't agree with his take on you or FSU generally, but it's also wrong for you to judge someone else's fandom on attending a bowl game, or any game for that matter. Other commitments, health, whatever. And while Shelby did see the Miami, Iowa State and ND games @ Yankee Stadium, it's a very shitty layout to watch a game and there's nothing interesting for locals to do or see in the area except cram into a dive bar like too many Skittles in a shrink-wrapped bag.

He's mentally disabled, but physically, he's fine
Guy rides his ten speed like a rented whore all over PA and NJ

Fact is, he simply found other stuff to do rather than attend our first bowl game in a decade, 40 miles from home
Which, given his rather high post count and judgmental nature towards others, is baffling to say the least

Nope. Even for staunchest of fans, life need not revolve around football. You do you, he'll be him, and of course Shelby will be Shelby.

Shelby has no rat in your mental maze. It's just wrong to judge someone based on your preferences. Shelby loves fried anchovy and onion sandwiches on pumpernickel bread with dijon mustard. Is that OK?

Nobody's life is revolving around football
It's about making time for something you claim to be passionate about

Furthermore, if you contintually come to the board, post incessantly (and mostly about bullshit, while stirring up shit amongst multiple posters) and are a generally miserable human, you'll open yourself up to, at the very least, some well-deserved ribbing

So you did attend the Pinstripe Bowl

No. Never said I would, years ago, after going twice to see a game there. Army and the first Pinstripe game and said never again and said on here multiple times As a Yankee fan I love the baseball stadium. As a venue for football it's horrible. Can see the game much better on TV.
BTW you keep making up lies and have fabricated a different person in your mind then who I really am. Who said I don't go to games anymore? Who said I'm just 40 miles away from Yankee Stadium. You don't even know where I live.
Lastly look in the mirror when judging people who don't go to every game. You admit you don't go to every FSU game! You a terrible FSU fan, broken, by your own stupid rule that you can't be a great fan if don't go every game. How childish are you???
Go judge yourself because you don't know me at all.

You're contradicting yourself as you said "Low point??? It was a highlight of last year's season by having a tailgate in a bar with many fellow Rutgers Letterwinners!"

40 miles away is Rutgers to Yankee Stadium
You presumedly live in Eastern PA, prob Bucks County, so add on another 30ish miles
That's 70 - not crazy to drive for someone who bikes that on a regular

I usually make it out to 6-9 FSU games per year, none within driving distance (sans Cuse / BC/ possibly PItt), and Doak a minimum of 4/5 times per year. That, my friend, is called commitment

FSU fans are known for traveling
Hell, 70 % of season ticket holders come from 150+ miles away
Kinda makes sitting out games due to drizzle and baseball stadium layouts seem trivial

How am I contradicting myself? Group decision which was made to get more together. It was absolutely wonderful day. You weren't there so you can't judge the decision.
So you admit again you don't go to every game so you also are a loser. That's not a commitment by your standards. So again you are as bad as any person who doesn't go to every game. No excuses from you.
Besides why do you care about what other people do with there time and how they watch the game?
Not even close where I live. Again, you don't know me at all but I am laughing that a fake whitebus is living rent free in your head🤣

Gotcha - so it wasn't at the Pinstripe
Do any of them have 40k posts? Do they continually bash others? Stir up shit?
Or, unlike you, are they normal, well intended individuals who simply root for their school and invite others to do the same?
Chances are the latter

I never said if you don't go to every game, you're a loser
Like your statement last night saying I hope FSU kicks Rutgers ass (which, I never said), you're once again putting words in my mouth

I couldn't care less who goes to which games
What is admitelly amusing though is you continually trying to prove to the board you're a real, diehard, genuine fan

You continally take the bait, which is only offered to you after you act like a complete and utter ass clown
Lest we forget, this was a thread started to discuss the post signing day state of the program

You, as per usual, derailed it to fit your own personal, twisted narrative
