Football Rutgers bowl game predictions
- Thread starter ChrisNalwasky
- Start date
Do you know what, you’re absolutely right, I should learn from my friend who insisted it wouldn’t last two years!
It will be gone in 5-7 years when teams prepare for their 2nd time visits and their fans won’t travel there.
Epic fail long term Bowl Nuts. Let’s wager and revisit in ‘28. Going to be a distant memory like the California Bowl, Freedom Bowl, Garden State Bowl, and Bluebonnet Bowl.

All those bowls have been gone for 25-30 years. Those were the days when you had to put butts in seats to survive. If going to Boise in December for the Famous Potato Bowl is still around the Pinstripe Bowl isn't going any where.

Pinstripe would be more appealing if the opponent was an SEC tie-in. Not as exciting playing Wake Forest as it would be a down Florida or Auburn
I’m not saying it will be gone because as @colbert17 rightly points out it’s more about TV these days than people in the seats.
What I am saying is it might not be a B1G destination forever.
* Now that the Gasparilla Bowl (the old St. Pete’s Beef O’Brady) has finally moved to Raymond James and out of Tropicana Field watch how this game becomes more popular and wanted, probably with a better date and higher payout as it evolves.
It would be a great replacement for the B1G line up.
* They listened to us @JoeRU0304! LOL
And it’s not the they draw flies, either. Not packing the place every year but the #’s are more than survivable.
The thing is the Big Ten knows it has some very large alumni bases within an hour of New York City aa well as you some somewhat large alumni bases within an hour of New York City. Remember how many fans Indiana had at the Big Ten tournament a few years ago? I’m pretty sure we stick with this ball for a long time. I could be wrong but you never know.
I could easily see that game teplacing the one in Santa Clara that absolutely no one attends and bailed again this year.
If they find one that pays as much $4M, it will be on the list to be replaced.
The Tournament is a completely different animal as weather is not a factor, it has a chance to be a full week and it’s actually in “NYC” in the real Garden.
Not looking good.
Another bad performance
If we beat Maryland, RU-BC in the Pinstripe is my prediction.
We open 2022 season at Chestnut Hill. Back-to-back games vs. our old Big East rival.

Unless Schiano cancels the BC game 😂. I am looking forward to attending BC next year in all likelihood. I think it’s Labor Day weekend / catch a Red Sox game / sightsee etc.: maybe audition for an ESPN show. 😀

Getting us back on track here gotta LOVE this guy predicting a very likely 5-7 Syracuse, following 3 thumpings to end the season, in The Holida Bowl? "Richard (cough cough) Johnson"...must be a 'Cuse alum, right?
Pinstripe might not be the best bowl but it’s the only game in town. For some it’s the only chance some RU fans will ever get to see us play in a bowl game. Know it’s not perfect but I hope it’s around for a long time.
People seriously underestimate this factor. The number of friends I’ve had who’ve gone to one if not both of our trips to that game, who have never made a trip to another bowl game and never will unless it’s an NT6-type game, goes well into the dozens. Maybe 100’s.
If it was in that West Side stadium, sure.
As it is now, will not shed a tear when it goes.
I'll be there with a very large group. We're hoping our buddy Hafs (name drop) can get us a suite for the Jersey crew.
