Rutgers Athletics are a Joke

Don’t worry, it’s all Eddie Jordan’s fault. Blame his recruiting. Once Pikiell and his stable staff have their kids, everything will be fine. Oh, wait ...

SHU beats a top 10 team on national tv at MSG.
RU loses to a bottom level mid major.

Embarrassing. I’m sick of all the friggen terribleness with our programs.


its hard to refute you.

SHU with major graduation losses just beat SHU on national tv while RU got their ass kicked by lowly Fordham in a high school gym on CBS sports tv

Not sure it was an ass kicking but the original point is fair.
 
Hobbs is really tallying them up. Hartford, Stony Brook, Fordham, then on the football side we have Buffalo, Kansas, shutout by Indiana,... can't wait for UMass and Liberty to be added to this list. SMH
 
It does suck but that is the choice we made so live with it. You don’t play these games. It is out of your control. Cheer them on and don’t worry about it so much. Our happiness in our lives should not be determined by our sports teams winning or losing. Imagine if I was rooting for the James Bond villains all of these years and basing my happiness off of the outcome of those movies?

Wait until you are a season ticket holder for 20 plus years and then the reaction is just a shaking of the head because nightmare games like today are so common.

I think being a Rutgers fan is preparing you for the possibility of Hell. Eternal screaming :scream:
Maybe this is Hell and we've all been relegated to being diehard Rutgers fans? I bet we all did something wrong in our previous life and this is our penance. It's pretty cruel if it is.
 
It is hilarious when results are tallied up across the scoreboard nightly in college basketball that nobody believes this happens elsewhere. It's basketball and in basketball when you have young players, upsets happen.

Kentucky is extremely talented and young and probably a little overrated right now. UNC Wilmington or Greensboro had a lead against them at Rupp arena earlier this week with about 12 minutes to go. Today's score at MSG isn't exactly a surprise to people that follow scores closely.

If RU didn't overachieve in games like Wisconsin or at Miami, i would buy into the whiny fans here 100%....this is the part of the rebuilding process that happens....play well some nights, not so good on others that you should beat.

When you play 30 to 32 or more games in a year this happens 4 to 5 times a year in both directions....it actually happened twice already this year,. Boston University and today vs Fordham....on the plus side , we had what I would consider 3 very good games with Eastern Michigan, Miami and Wisconsin....fans act as if the 2nd half vs Boston didn't happen because they missed a couple of shots and had chances to spring an upset.

I can only say roller coaster so many times....fans are looking a straight line north with no bumps are going to overreact to games like today. I actually think the Boston University game was much worse than today, you run into a guard that's hot and you don't bring your A game, anything is possible.
 
I would think you're one of the last people who should be mocking the OP for being an upset fan.
Eh, I’ve been saying all along we’re a year away. Sure, I’m pissed about the loss, but this board needs a dose of lithium. Jesus....

A year away from what? Dance? Winning record ?

I just wanted to not be in last place this year.

The honeymoon is over for all those folks over-valuing our team this year. We were still picked to be last.

Yeah, blame it on Hobbs. All last week, folks were slobbering all over Pikiell. One bad loss, and now it's Hobbs' fault. You guys are pathetic.

Unless you guys are just being sarcastic and my sarcasm meter is broken.
No sarcasm whatsoever. Pikiell is not a B1G coach and definitely not a next level coach. He without a doubt has brought some marginal improvement to this team...though it’s hard not to do that after the last guy. He is the equivalent of Ash next year. Set the bar so low that any bit of improvement makes you the next messiah.

Rutgers has done exactly what I expected this year. Beat a bunch of nobodies but any time a team shows up with some resistance, the team folds like origami.

Hobbs simply cannot pick them. He is so wet behind the ears as an AD he has no idea what makes a good coach or a poor coach.

A postseason berth. NIT.

Are you kidding me with this bullsh*t?

:rolleyes:
 
So a few weeks ago Pike is somewhere between Rupp and Wooden and today Hobbs can't pick a coach?

Look, this program is clearly on the upswing. There is no doubt about it. But the idea that we will be moving upward every single game just isn't realistic. We're just not good enough to survive a bad effort. NOBODY plays at the same level every single night. It's not human.

To say he's just like Ash shows ignorance at a level not even seen on these boards very often. This was a bad game. Borderline inexcusable. Get over it.

Thank you for this post. I don’t understand how fans didn’t think a wtf loss with this young and inexperienced team would not have happened this year. We should have a game this year where we are in Fordham’s shoes......if this team can learn again how to shoot 3pters. People need to relax.

Overreaction much? Pike will be fine. RU bball will be fine. We NEED a secondary scorer, we simply dont have it right now

This may be the dumbest post I’ve ever seen on this board, and that’s saying something.
