Haven't been there for a while..

 

[StyleKnight]

"Last week the Scarlet Knights were the lead story on Outside The Lines three times. That's also the same number of points they scored against Penn State. Oh, and Coach Norries, that guy's name is Bob Ley."

Ouch. The fact that we are a story everywhere shows how relevant Rutgers is. We get attention; albeit not good attention.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Fantastic.

 

[devoted2ru]

Man, back in the infamous "Bottom 10". -Guess we really are partyin' like it's 1999.

Congrats to Coach Flood

Oh the days of when I was a student have returned.

I remember when this was posted on ESPN in response to the Sports Guy: http://espn.go.com/page2/s/list/readers/worstCollegefb.html

 

[LevaosLectures]

Luckily we play another bottom ten team this week.

 

[PedroPete3]

At least we have some good company in Arkansas and Louisville!

Look at #8 on this list from 09/04/02 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Yes GS was the coach but it was Shea's mess)

 

[DHajekRC84]

That's just ESPN being the jerks they are. I actually respect them less than most PSU fans.

 

[Giantfan82]

ESPN is a joke

 

[KJ_RU]

ESPN is a joke

So is Kyle Flood.

 

[KJ_RU]

Congrats to Coach Flood

Someone asked the Football Gods to let Flood make us a national story and for us to be ranked once again...the Football God's responded in the cruelest way possible.

 

[MGSA99]

Rutgers vs. Kansas may qualify for Pillow Fight of the Week.

 

[greenknight]

You guys are funny what is the problem because ESPN said we are bottom 10 it is so. Sorry but not even close

 

[RUich]

Will coach Wilson be addressing this at another press conference?
BTW, Louisville is a lot better than their record if you look at who they played and the final scores. They really don't belong there with the rest of us.

 

[RUissy]

Let's just focus on being 1 and 0 this week. [sick]

 

[Mr Magoo]

It's amazing how we can't even reap the benefits of being in the B1G. We just sink to the bottom.

 

[KJ_RU]

Given where we were 4 years ago, there is no way we should even be close to this list. ESPN bias or not, the foundation was close to solid back then, not so much now. There is one person responsible for bringing us back to the place that we fought so hard to get out of.

 

[Upstream]

You guys do realize that the ESPN Bottom 10 is a tongue-in-cheek ranking. It isn't actually a list of the 10 worst teams.

Flood cloned Schiano's talking points but not his coaching ability...this program is sinking fast.

So in other words we're a tongue in cheek joke? Awesome, thanks for clarifying...maybe OSU should be in for struggling with NIU,...just in a tounge in cheek kind of way, lol

Whoops, I meant.

 

[KJ_RU]

Whoops, I meant.

Atleast Shea was a decent QB coach and coordinator...Flood was hired to be a gatekeeper, he didn't have to win big, just keep the program respectable...he couldn't even do that. He had the best starting point than any coach in our history.

There's typically good reason for some, if not most, to be listed.

 

[garyrc70]

I remember back in the 80's and 90's Playboy always had a pre-season worst 10..we made it almost every year..

Our fans suck ass!

 

[KJ_RU]

Our fans suck ass!

They sure do, especially the ones that tolerate this shit-storm. Or maybe I should donate more money and hope beyond hope that Flood can get his head out of his @ss.

[RUhasarrived]

Sagarin has 41 teams ranked below us.

 

[Caliknight]

Anyone who says we are at or near Shea levels never experienced those days or had no idea what was going on then.

There were literally a handful of guys on the whole team who had 1 or more D1 offers. Norfolk would have been a game in those days.

 

[brgossRU90]

I shudder to think what they'll be writing in a few weeks after we go past msu, osu and Wisconsin.

 

[MGSA99]

I was a student during the Shea years. Yikes, that was a bad era. We had 10,000 show up for a visit from Wake Forest and the student section was bare during any game that didn't offer free food. The Shea era will ALWAYS be the time by which we measure our apathy. I remember the board wasn't a mean place but a place to laugh at our program, and talking about who our next coach would be was a daily topic.

We used to love this list when Syracuse and UConn would appear on it.

No need to pile on ESPN for this article (There are legitimate other reasons to hate them.)

We deserve to be on that list this season.

I was just about to say that we would be loving this list if a certain few other schools were on it and we weren't. I can't believe that this is the perception of the program again...and for some people, that's ok smh.
