To all the naysayers - claiming that Rutgers will be a perennial B1G bottom feeder...

[zazoo2002]

That we're strictly a NY media market addition, with no hope of ever succeeding. Um...how do I say this gently...F*CK YOU!!!

Go RU

 

[DanceAppreciationTA]

Calm down there, no football or basketball has been played with the new staff yet...

All signs point to significant improvements but I'll reserve excitement until the '16 season is over for both teams

 

[RUSK97]

Any chance we can climb out of the basement before you start puffing your chest like a rooster?

 

[Dpgru]

Let's just enjoynthe good news. It makes waiting for the new season something to look forward to. The nay Sayers are glad they were wrong so let it go.

Agree.

 

[zazoo2002]

Nope...I'd rather not calm down or suck in my chest. Thanks for asking though. There's finally institutional alignment. This can not be underestimated. "It" will get done. Enjoy the momentum.

And, the naysayers that immediately come to mind are PSU fans. Maybe this clarification helps.

I don't think people need to calm down. This is exciting recruiting news. Enjoy it. It doesn't mean Ash is a great game day coach, we will have to wait and see on that. But today was a really good day for us fans that have been for years reading about and dealing with all the top NJ players leaving to play elsewhere. So , don't calm down. Enjoy the day. Get excited about the future. Be a fan!!

Essentially validating the other thing those people said, which is that we're a bunch of foul-mouthed braggarts with serious self esteem issues.

 

[zazoo2002]

Foul mouthed I'll concede. Braggards? About what exactly? Although, I should point out that we have had some great success in olympic sports recently. Fun time to be an (long suffering) RU fan.

We have been here before with all the optimism and then we failed. Let's wait till we see actual success. I am very hopeful considering the progress we have made thus far.

I'll bet OP isn't real popular.

 

[RutgersUnion]

I thought Al was the only one who proclaims us winners on paper instead of the field.

That was exactly their point.

C'mon Screw...just having some fun. And, if by popular, you mean the new face of 'The Most Interesting Man in the World' campaign...then yes, I AM!

OK I get it now.

Wow, what a Whitman's Sampler.

Nice arc to this thread. ;)

great response.

But you have to understand, we were really building something here with Schiano (whether some fans admit it or not) and then it all went away under the last regime. There was a time when we landed 4 star players, even the occasional 5 star. Its good to be back, thats all.
