Thats wrong. Im watching the game right now and it's 7-7 bottom eight. 2 outs nobody on
Dude....RELAX....we'll still be ranked after the weekend. Shit happens in baseball ALL the time. Sucks, for sure, but it is what it is unfortunately.
kyk will be starting a Fire Owens thread any time now. lol
The horror!!
That’s Rutgers, Henry. It’s been that way since 1766.
Just curious. Is there any sport that Rutgers has a winning record over Princeton?
Edit- I looked it up. In mens sports, baseball ( narrowly) and wrestling are the only sports where RU leads. In women’s sports the hoops and soccer teams prevail. We are Tiger meat.

tough loss but it's Baseball...Huge 3 game weekend upcoming vs Iowa..Lets move on from a bad day..And lets fill the bleachers and support this team
We made a nice comeback from 6-0 to take a 7-6 lead. However we had a guy on second with one out and couldn't score anymore the rest of the game. The Princeton relief pitcher had a 10 + ERA and he threw some soft junk and we kept popping up for the most part. The guy completely shut us down over the last 5 innings. Even Coach Owens was a little upset that we kept letting this guy put it to us. Things happen but when we took the lead we were hitting rockets but than our bats went cold. Perhaps we thought we had it in the bag but Princeton being 4-23 or 4-24 kept playing and hit a home run to tie it in the 8th. In the 9th after one out they got two infield singles than we got out # 2 on a strikeout but than the guy who hit the home run in the 8th hit a double deep into left center which our left fielder almost caught but I think it just hit off his glove. It was close to the wall. In the bottom of the 9th Danny G. flied to left on a hard hit ball. Than the shortstop made a great catch on a line drive that seemed like it was destined to be a single into center but instead two outs with no one out. The last out took place on a routine play to end the game. We just have to bounce back. Funny things happen in baseball. Hopefully we can play well against Iowa and keep our lead in the Big Ten.

Despite the loss, they are just another rinky dink athletic program in our rear view mirror.

Final: Princeton 9 Rutgers 7 and the Tigers snap the Scarlet Knights 16- game winning streak.
The Rutgers-Princeton football game always took up most of the rivalry air between the two schools in sports. However, the REAL competition between the two is in baseball. Rutgers first intercollegiate sports event wasn't the Rutgers-Princeton football game of 1869 but the Rutgers-Princeton baseball game of 1866. Here is the 156 years - all time standings - between the two schools:
1866-2022:
76 Rutgers wins
75 Princeton wins
3 ties

I can only assume you are joking. Concerning ourselves with their athletic program would be like worrying about Rider, Central Connecticut, Fordham, Stetson , etc. They are in a conference that no one hears about or cares about.They are a school with literally no fan base. Their students don’t go to games. Their alumni don’t go to games. Certainly the average New Jerseyan has no interest in Princeton sports. No TV coverage.We have been members of the Big Ten Conference for almost a decade, have over 70,000 students, half a million alumni, every single conference football and basketball game is on National TV and every sport is available through BTN Plus. We are ready to start bringing in $75 million a year in TV revenue and, although it took far too long, fans in New Jersey view Rutgers as their team.
Yet they are very competitive in the sports in which we compete head to head. Over the last 20 years, they’ve owned us in lacrosse, played us even in baseball , men’s soccer has been pretty even (RU has won last 2 matches by blow out scores of 1-0), and Pike is probably happy not to play them in hoops. Sure we now have a higher profile and lose staggering amounts of money in the process, but on the playing fields where it matters, they still give us a run for your money. And to say that New Jersey sports fans , as compared to other state universities, view Rutgers as their team is delusional.
This post is nuts. Princeton is great but not very competitive with RU in sports. Using the recent baseball score as proof is silly.
Two sports matter to 99 percent of the sports public—basketball and football. Do I like to see us do very well in baseball, wrestling, lacrosse, etc. ? Yes ! But again, like at just about every college, it is all about the big two. Never said New Jerseyans fandom had reached the level of Kentucky Basketball, Texas A&M football, Nebraska football, etc. That being said, we are light years ahead of pre-2006. Everyone remembers how the state went insane over us in 2006 for football. And we have certainly seen a huuuge increase in the stat’s attention to the Rutgers Basketball program the last three years. Don’t know what your obsession is with Princeton sports, but they aren’t any more important to New Jersey sports fans than Monmouth or Rowan. As I said earlier, they are in our rear view mirror, just like Duquesne, Lehigh, etc. Won’t be wasting any more time in this thread.
