I will give you to 100 to 1 odds it won’t happen in you’re lifetime. 50 to 1 in the next 50 years. You can pass it down to you kids. Will put the money in escrow for 50 years.
but sometimes dreams can come true.
for some the dream is real, but that dream is a nightmare when to those who find dreams of success something to be avoided, because of a lack of faith of it happening .
Rutgers fans had for years felt their FB program was a loser and the only hope they expressed is that the team wouldn't be annihilated before most games started .
Then Greg1 came along and raised the fanbases expectations because he made the program respectable enough that it's fans felt the team had a chance to win any game they played and many expected a win every time.
By the time Greg1 left there were fans wanting him booted for not bringing home a championship. That was a far cry from their feelings of RU being a losing program , and nothing would change that, before Schiano arrived.
No the cry is Greg2 can't get us there going into his fourth year.
I say Greg2 has a good chance of making RU FB a respected program again.
So I'm not giving up on him because he's done that before in his 5th year in the Greg1 era.
Once Rutgers reaches respectability, them maybe Al can share his dream and not be so strongly opposed about it.
Maybe even be bashed for not brining home a chanpionshilp like he was towards the end of the Greg1 era.
Al: I'm a believer ( like you) , because it hurts too much not to have hope when supporting RU.
Making a Championship caliber program will be hard the way the local medai covers RU FB and lacking the number of heavy hitting boosters.
But that could change if Schiano is able to devolop the recruits he's bringing in now into players that can make RU FB respected again.
Then portal players and HS talent will look on RU as a place to bring their talent, the local media will hop on the bandwagon and heavy hitting donors might become available because they want to be associated with the type of program RU is proving it can be.
Am I dreaming, of course ,but it can happen if everything falls into place.
For me that's a hellofalot better then having a never have, not happening now or ever will attitude that just looks at RU FB as a second rate program that can't make it if they try
I do feel sad for those with no hope.
Some might feel;sad for me , because they feel my hoping and dreaming will be in vain
Nothing wrong with that , nor should there be anything wrong with having a feeling better times are coming because of believing it can happen
