I thought we would, but I kinda believe we'll win every game so maybe I don't qualify for this question. I really thought we were going to surprise a lot of teams in 2014 - I took a flyer on winning our division. I also didn't think we'd get our asses handed to us as bad as we did last year (well maybe after all the arrests I tempered my enthusiasm a bit) though if I could have gotten infinity to one, I still would not have bet on us winning the division last year.
RU-Michigan game in primetime on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2
- Thread starter Local Shill
- Start date
Everyone knew Michigan was in big trouble 2 years ago. They finished 7-6 losing 5 of their last 6 and 6 of their final 8 in 2013. Putting that situation, with Hoke, in the same breath with Iowa 2015/16, is absurd.
No one knew they were in BIG trouble until they finished September without a win for the 1st time ever, I believe. Lost to us was basically the nail in the coffin.
Disagree. They completely fell apart the 2nd half of 2013 so the "writing" was already "on the wall" IMHO.
So it was just announced that RU Wrestling (vs Princeton) is scheduling a double header with Rutgers Football (vs PSU) on Nov 19th. Separate tickets required. To make that happen, the football game would have to be played at night, right?
Correct..BTN primetime games will be announced by end of week, reportedly.
It wasn't announced RU wants this to happen, but for it to work the football game needs to be at night.
They've been working this out for months.
Would think it's happening..though PSU would have to agree, being it's a November game.
Might be the only holdup.
I know it's a reach but sure would love to beat UM on national TV with that DB coach and all the NJ turncoats
by the time we played Michigan we already knew how beatable they were and that game was what October 3..we found out pretty early that this was a troubled Michigan
i see yeah baby revving up expectations for some ungodly reason when realism should prevail and no its not negative to think its going to be a rough year this year, its accepting the most likely scenerio
And yet I feel like Ash and Co. have an inherent drive to beat Michigan. I wouldn't be surprised to see a good game.
lol not really where I was going with that comment, however, yes you're right!
Would love to beat a top 5 Michigan team under the light on ABC. What a night it could be.
Please forgive me for being positive. I know that irks you. If I have to crawl into a foxhole for any reason, some of the realists on this board will not be invited. There is no fight left in many you and why you spend so much time following a team you love to hate is beyond me. I root for Rutgers to win. Others root for them to lose so they can complain and say they are realists. ROFLMAOSMHAMA

Two Michigan football night games this year: at Rutgers and at Iowa
"The Rutgers game could work in the Wolverines’ favor. Michigan has recruited New Jersey heavily, with six signees this year alone. The Wolverines are involved with a number of New Jersey prospects for the 2017 class, and having that game at night means most should be able to attend, even as Rutgers invitees."
You're welcome UM fans.
"Michigan and Rutgers also played at night in Piscataway, N.J., in 2014. The Scarlet Knights won, 26-24, sending the Wolverines to an 0-2 Big Ten start, their worst in more than 50 years. It was a major step toward the eventual firing of coach Brady Hoke."
You owe us for that. You don't want to be in debt to somebody from Jersey.
