This is probably one of the most debilitating seasons as a Rutgers fan that I can remember in a very long time.
There have been some downers in the past that were pretty deflating. The failed 2pt conversion v WVU in 2006 and the Cincinnati loss that same year. The recruiting class with Saquan Barkley that fell apart in 2013. Tim Pernetti leaving. The Ash years.
But this season I feel like our hearts were just ripped out. Football underperformed and dropped games v UCLA, Nebraska, Illinois and Kansas State that they could have won so a 7-6 finish could have instead been an 11-2 finish.
Basketball, with a once in a multiple generation get of the #2 and #3 recruits is not going to have a post season. This year's performance will also go the distance in dissuading top talent from coming here.
Deflating. All I can say. Assuming I'm not the only one that feels this way.
