We caved in to the unwashed.

 

[GRU23]

I’m glad it got scheduled

 

[bigmatt718]

Shouldve told Coward U to F off.

 

[bethlehemfan]

I think it’s good. It’s a good rivalry. Creates a nice local buzz and is often a real good game.

 

[RUenvsci]

I wonder how this decision was made. Why is it being played at the Rock?

Curious too...Hoping we got a better deal than was set originally

 

[e5fdny]

LOL

 

[Gudenham]

Rutgers 87, Seton Hall 54.

I hope there's more to the story, if not, this is not a good look for us.

Who cares? They're playing the game, that's all that matters. The rest is noise.

Many RU fans care. It was our sold-out home game we're giving up this year btw.

Game is on hold per carino because we won't play the next one at Prudential. We've seen how stubborn and moronic Hobbs can be in negotiations with the schiano fiasco. Hopefully we just play the game at Prudential. They're a very beatable team and by far our biggest OOC rival. We're gonna just...

Yes would like to see what we got out of the deal. I would think worst case is the entire deal is extended one addition year to ensure both parties end up with the same amount of home games in the series.

Exactly … that’s all they needed to do. Not the most complex of solutions.

 

[MADHAT1]

Glad to see the series continue, but feel the Hall won the stalemate and made Hobbs bend to their will.
If there is even the littlest of upside for RU MBB fans over Seton Hall having its way , it would be now Rutgers fans have another reason ( and a big one) to dislike the Pirate Program

For Hall fans, they can gloat over Hobbs caving and claim the Hall AD made the RU AD walk the plank in order to continue the series .:chairshot:

 

[Raritan83]

Disappointed we caved. They had every opportunity to honor their end last year and chose not to

Now they walk out with exactly what they wanted. Didn't have to play us with no fans. Instead they went to an empty Penn state and get Penn state to the rock with fans. Perfectly played by them.

I could live with that, plus a mulligan for us too if something crazy happens again (force majeure) and we need to opt out.

 

[RU72]

Game I most want Rutgers to win after the Michigan game. Not terribly interested in the Merrimack game and Minnesota and Nebraska,etc.will never be rivals. Yes,I get that it is important to finish in the Top 8 in the Big Ten. An SHU road win should be a Tier One win and resonates in March. It is also a huge feel good high.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

It's a good resume building road win vs a Big East opponent.

 

[Leonard23]

Playing at SHU sets a bad precedent and is total BS unless we got an extra home game added to the contract. If we didn't, then this is typical poor negotiating by Rutgers. I would've walked instead.

 

[jerzeyguy]

Interesting. They've been bringing in alot of talent and could beat us too. Should've gave them the same energy- they gave us last year

 

[Mr Magoo]

Pathetic. When will we start acting like we're not their little brother? Hobbs bent over as expected.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

No reason why over 5k RU fans can’t be inside The Rock.

They can turn it into a home game.

 

[RUChoppin]

Boo-urns - cave city.

Just another thing to be irritable about in this series, I guess.

If we didn't the play game then we ALSO wouldn't have a sold out home game.

 

[RUChoppin]

They took a Quad 1 game off our schedule last year, and a home game off our schedule this year. Throw two games at RU on the end of the series.

If we didn't play what game?

 

[bac2therac]

Terrible look to cave like that

 

[kcg88]

You said they took a sold out home game off our schedule by playing there.

What if we don't play there? We'd just get another home game against like Lafayette or something.

Oh no, we'd expect a SJU, Temple, etc to replace the shoe game at the RAC this season.

 

[anon_ivydyf0amkzay]

We prove time and again what “small time” looks like…

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

This will be interesting indeed, waiting for some SHU news to drop soon on another topic....cue up a potential next batch of excuses when a player somehow doesn't play, if SHU doesn't win, etc etc

Scared Hall U is their new name, IMO. Need RU fans to start making Scared Hall a thing.

 

[Virginiarufan]

I don't give a flying fluck about $hit Hole U.

 

[wisr01]

I would have told $hit Hole U to go F themselves.

 

[Good-Knight]

Weak. Disappointing weakness.

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

The bigger school held the hammer in this case being RU....it is taking the high road and putting the petty stuff to the side. No excuses for either side, play the game and see what happens.

 

[Tango Two]

nice
