Football Rutgers bowl game predictions
- Thread starter ChrisNalwasky
- Start date
Detroit is all yours then.
Keep in mind that the bowl game in Detroit starts mid-day on the Monday following Christmas weekend. I'm not sure they could've scheduled it any worse for travel.
Again, Pinstripe bowl is good for those far from NYC. When Wake was invited in 2019, I didn’t see anyone complaining.
Last time we were there it was the day after Christmas. We left PA at 4pm after a very early Christmas meal and drove straight for 8 hours, arriving at our hotel at midnight. Having to leave the day after Christmas instead of Christmas is much better in my opinion.
We actually enjoyed Christmas at a hotel in Pontiac, MI. Had dinner in Frankenmuth on Christmas Eve.
It was fun.
One and done for any CFB fans.
Unlike Florida, Arizona, Cali, etc. Bowls
I would love any bowl. I've never been to the Pinstripe Bowl so I would go. The only two Rutgers bowl games I've been to have been the two in FL. I will be there wherever it is this year.
Really. You think there are more repeat CFB visiting fans to the Bronx too see their team in a Bowl game ( exc. local RU and Cuse) vs. going to Bowls in Florida , Georgia, TN, and Arizona ? Please.

Pinstripe stinks on so many levels for us. No wonder it’s referred to as the Pinstink. But if we got 6-6 and make this Bowl game , it’s a great accomplishment . It won’t be seen as major disappointments of getting Pinstinked in 2011 and 2013.
Just saw the date for Cure bowl. Gonna b down there the week b4. Not sure I'm making that quick a return. Xtra week is stretch to stay. Too much to do here. May be sitting this one out unless its pinstripe.
Well , it it is one person . That person has been on the money and is basically an expert
I don’t call it that either but agree with the sentiment.
Pinstripe>better than nothing
Like I said , If it it is one person . That person has been on the money and is basically an expert on this site !
That’s about as bad as having your career derailed by a gun charge - which was eventually dismissed - that someone gets hanging out with the boys at an elizabeth bar .
Fortunately this Pinstink Bowl can only take the same team once every 7 years .
Why is this ? Because nobody wants to go to this Bowl.
That is great news , as expected under schiano we will hope to be in these mid level bowls most years. At 6-6, any bowl we go to is great this year.
That’s not even close to what I said and you know it. Geeze. You’re just making the assumption, however, that fans would not come back to New York, New York City, a second time for a bowl game. Pure opinion. Shit I met a friend at the pinstripe bowl two years ago to see Wisconson play Miami for crying out loud. He came down from Rhode Island for no reason other than to see a good college football game and because it was an easy train ride from Connecticut to midtown.

IIRC this is not just a “Pinstripe Bowl” guideline set by the B1G (but I thought it was every 5?) but for all it’s non-BCS/NY6 games? Or a few select ones, anyway, no? I could be wrong on this one.

But I think the payouts might be how they are ranked?
This seems possible. Worth noting that neither Minnesota nor Purdue have ever gone to Pinstripe. Possible that Pinstripe may feel they can get Rutgers in the next year or two if/when Rutgers has a better overall record of perhaps 7-5.
WTF ? You just don’t get it.
Have you looked at the comments on this Board regarding feelings towards the Pinstripe Bowl ?
The vast majority of RU fans wanted nothing to do with this Bowl . We will attend “if forced to”.
Location, neighborhood/atmosphere , weather, view of the field, tailgating environment are all piss poor.
For any other CFB visitors to this Bowl is a one and done. Only the TV dollars will keep this afloat and not the fans/ supporting the local economy.
LOL no, YOU just don't "get it." PEOPLE WILL STILL GO...THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS. Nobody is being "forced" to do anything. What kind of kind of comment is that anyway?
Anyway, nice attempt to spin YOUR comment earlier - that people would never visit more than once - which, and I'll say it again, is absolutely NOTHING other than your OPINION/ASSUMPTION. I don't care how many people "hate it," "don't like it," or have issues with it, people will still attend the damn game lol..PLUS, on that last reply, we were speaking about people from OTHER fan bases, not ours, so again nice "spin" my friend.
Your comment, AND I QUOTE, was "One and done for any CFB fans."...I disagree and you will most likely be proven wrong time and time again over the next 15-20 years. Just like you've been proven to be 100% WRONG about this game from Day 1.
"WTF?? YOU just don't get it." Geeze man let it go already. You don't like the game, FINE, but we get it LOL!!! I'm worried that you're going to have a stroke obsessing over hating this game. Relax my friend.
I'm going for a beer. Cheers!

I'm there for whatever bowl game. I can't believe we have picky whiners here.
There are times to be picky with bowls . This isn’t the time
Which I think many of are saying too…not a fan, but if that’s the bowl, that’s the bowl.
We call it the Brown Stripe. It's awful and nothing bowl like about it but recognize it is good for the program. Will jump for joy when B1G realizes nobody wants this booby prize.
Bingo
Another reasonable poster on what CFB fans think of this crappy Boql.
Please talk some sense into AreYouNuts. He just doesn’t get it.
Would we take any Bowl at this point? Of course we would. But the Pinstripe shouldn’t even be called a Bowl. It’s a football game played at a terrible FB venue, with zero tailgating experience, and absolutely no college FB feel to it. Move it to MetLife and call it anything, but get it the hell out of Yankee Stadium.
I was all on board if the West Side Stadium thing happened…enough to say play a regular game there.
THAT had the potential to be a great bowl game…$$$, location, prestige of really being in “NYC”, Final Four rotation and possibly the same for the Super Bowl.
You really don’t listen, do you? This bowl game isn’t going anywhere and the Big Ten isn’t dropping this game. Your hatred for this game, no matter how crappy the sight lines are, the weather could potentially be and the fact that Yankee Stadium/the Bronx is not a naturally great location, has ZERO to do with it. You have been wrong from day one. From day freaking one you said the game would be gone in two years and you have been dead-wrong.
Do I love it? NO! Of course not, but I’ll take it, and not whine about it for a decade, when it’s our only option. I would much rather go to Florida, Arizona, North Carolina, Tennessee or California! Obviously! But this game has not been the failure that you have predicted it would be from day one. Why can’t you just admit that?
*** Trust me I would much rather throw a party the night before a bowl game in Orlando, Miami, Tampa, Charlotte, Nashville, Phoenix, etc. etc.!
BTW - I have no problem whatsoever with you hating this game, I really don’t and I get it, I just don’t know why you need to argue against the facts about this being more successful than you thought it would ever be.

Funny how fans disparage a bowl the conference affiliates with ‘for the money’, not remembering the only reason Rutgers is in the conference in the first place is ‘for the money’.
