We Should be playing Syracuse this werk.
- Thread starter jersey07080
- Start date
I would love to see RU/SU begin playing again. Let's face it we are probably never going to win our division in the Big in the next 10-15 years, but we could get some wins over a regional former rival even if Cuse never considered us a rival.
Yes, I think the turn around of Rutgers changed everything in the football world for the CUSE! When we got Rice and Leonard we over came them and it has not changed since! They just never recovered from that, but I do believe Babers can do some great things there. Only problem is they are in the ACC. There is some good football there with Clemson, Florida State and I even like NC this year, but the rest of the conference is pretty much ho hum! Miami and Virgina Tech have fallen off. BC is lost in the water. So yeah the Cuse could find themselves in a bowl game the next couple of years.
Playing a ranked PAC12 team on the other side of the country gives us better media exposure and helps build the brand. For all the talk of Rutgers and Syracuse being New York's teams, nobody in NYC outside of alumni would be excited to see them play.
Actually, my question would be something like, "Since this game is so worthless, can we assume that you'll be passing on the opportunity to go to Seattle for the weekend?"

Could not agree more!! Rutgers needs to look south and schedule ACC and SEC teams...occasional PAC and steer 10 teams...we've got the north covered...exposure to areas where football really matters! New England and NY? Bitch, please!
Now with all that being said, if the schools in question were to agree to a 2 for 1 deal, or a multiple of that, where we'd play 2 home games at Rutgers Stadium, and they'd play their single home game at the New Giants Stadium, I might be able to be persuaded into agreeing with that.

They weren't blow out losses and SU weren't favorited to win any of them. My point was made.
How you gonna go back in history but leave out most of it? lol You had four years of dominance. Thats not a lot.

Louisville is ranked and is very good. Miami will be good this year. One of the top QB's in the country. Pitt has one of the best offensive lines and backfield in the county. GT will be improved
It's opening week, and we're playing a P5 team we've never played in one of the best cities in the country. Stop being a b#tch.
Just saying.
Your only good as your last game or in this case last several. [roll][roll][roll] people don't care about things from 20 years ago. Even Flood beat SU. That's bad.
This is pretty much the same line we hear every year about the ACC, give or take a couple of names switched here and there. And every year - Florida State/Clemson and .... NO ONE!!
Miami has been in "gonna be good", "this time it really is their year" mode since it left the BE, lulz.
I agree and 2006 was a decade ago. You havent done anything more special than SU has done the last 7 years.
Your right about Miami. I just think Richt is a good coach and will bring consistency. UNC and Louisville are very good. UNC had Clemson on the ropes last year. GT almost beat FSU a few years ago. Its not a 2 conference team. V tech is not great but they beat Ohio st at their place.

Some of you really need to think about the bigger picture and realize the gains/losses here. We do not want or need to play them and we certainly do not want to give them an audience in the area.

Games against the frozen fruit from central NY should not even be entertained during the regular season...other than a short road trip it, it measures zip in the interest scale...our relationship with that school is dead...let it remain in the bin of history...
Love it when you go there.
I can think of one thing. One B1G thing.
I say play Temple.. they can recruit NJ based on proximity anyway and their home games can be our home games in that NFL stadium. Maybe we can get a 3 for 2 out of them too.. without paying them to play here because we would bring a lot of paying fans to the vet for their home games.
I posted the truth, in the last ten games Rutgers was 7-3. I did not pick 5 ot 7 or 13 games, picked a round number.
You post ancient history.
No reason to play the fruit. Why don't you guys schedule your next wake forest home game for the meadowlands... that should give you some nice jersey access.
You are right Money! I spoke to quick. Pitt will be a lot better and totally forgot about Louisville. I'm not sure about Georgia Tech yet.
Agreed. If Ash and Barbers make some progress, I am sure that there will be a year where we are matched up against each other in the Pinstripe bowl and everyone can get their Syracuse fix.
The ACC was so focused on basketball that they made a horrible decision by not getting RU when they were available. Now, they have no footprint in the Balt-NYC corridor that has 20mm+ people, and their northern outposts of Syr and BC will die on the vine due to lack of fb recruits and fan interest.
“In that case,” said Napoleon, “let us wait twenty minutes; when the enemy is making a false movement we must take good care not to interrupt him.”
Are you calling Syracuse a prostitute? Cheaper and easier?[roll] How much are they charging for a fruit job? What about a reach-around?
Syracuse Post Standard
Syracuse football, Rutgers reportedly agreed on series; why Kyle Flood nixed it

Syracuse is dying to play us. We could offer them no home games and they'd accept before Pat Hobbs finished the sentence.
Not to take it OT but this is exactly why UConn to the B12 makes no sense. No natural rivals, no recruiting base, and no major fan interest.
Ok so then I can pick the last 4 games. 2-2. dont brag about beating a bad team. You did what you were suppose to be doing and what ever other team did in the Big East did during the Grob tenure.
