What the Hell is Going on at Missouri!?

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

First former players Sheldon Richardson and Aldon Smith. Now, their starting qb and starting offensive lineman are suspended for at least one game. What an out of control program. The coach should be fired, how can he not watch the programs former players and current players when they're away from the football facility!?!?!

Get a grip.

I don't think you get what I did there

kyk1827 is on a roll.

Let it go. You live in Jersey. Move to the middle of nowhere where no one truly cares, if you don't like it. Seriously, if most of those schools aren't cheating to be successful the rest of the country wouldn't even realize those states are on the map. They need to win more than anyone. The rest of the country feels sorry for them and just shrugs their shoulders.

Let is go kyk

Well the SL guys and other writers have actually admitted on video and in paper that they read the free boards so I just want them to see this since they all blocked me on twitter lol. They really are such a pathetic bunch. In the face of all this Mark Richt is literally getting corn mazes with his face outlined on them mowed this week! haha

Well if they could in some way tie this back to Flood, they'll report on it.

It's working, they're all distracted now.

 

[mikershoein]

did the coach meet anywhere off campus not wearing umizz clothing?

 

[DANTHEMAN]

That athletic dept. is in turmoil. What a mess!

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

KF once flew over Missouri on a recruiting visit. So, that pretty much makes those guys Rutgers recruits.

Fire Flood!

Gary Pinkel was a Rutgers coaching target. Rutgers only goes after coaches who recruits crooks.

Instead of worrying about everyone else, how about we just stop sticking our foot in our ass at seemingly every opportunity. If we stop giving people the opportunity to talk negatively about us, eventually they will stop talking and thinking about us in a negative regard.

The problem is that it is impossible to micro-manage 100 middle managers 24x7 let alone 100 testosterone fueled 18 - 22 year old males, so unfortunately bad crap is going to happen. I think the point that everyone is trying to make is every program sooner or later is going to have f@#k ups in the group and the local press isn't calling for heads to roll every opportunity they get.

I hear you, but I still think that instead of constantly getting upset at the reaction, just do a better job of not giving them things to react to. Rutgers as a whole has certainly had enough missteps since the announcement that we were heading to the B1G that I don't think we can pin the entire blame solely on an unfair media. We have to do better ourselves if we want to change the narrative. Complaining that others may be getting treated better than us just sounds childish and petty to me.

 

[Rutgers36]

+1 Kyk

 

[LotusAggressor]

What? This happens at other schools? I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked!!!!!

 

[mal359]

I don't think you get what I did there

No, I did.

You give yourself too much credit. Go pick more fights in stadiums that you visit. That seems more your pace.

Look all schools have issues at Mizzou they have had 27 drug arrests in the last 7 years- Pinkel was arrested for DUI, Dorell Green Beckham- was kicked out of school for beating up his GF, it is all about a frame of reference the Star- Loser writers look at us through a microscope and do not take samples from the rest of the pond. UConn, Mizzou, Bama, SMU, North Carolina.

Even Terry Shea recruited crooks... Jacki Crooks!

 

[imbazza]

We have to model our program more akin to UNC. Where we have profs. make imaginary classes so I coach does not have to ask for passing grades, the school just rubber stamp them A+ grades to make up for any real classes the dumb ass student take by mistake.

How many of those instances were really missteps worthy of all the media ire they got? Most of them were completely contrived, and that's the problem. Rutgers does do better - up until this year everyone was super-proud of the high moral and academic character of our team members. The minute something goes wrong, though, there's a massive overreaction.

That's true and I get it. But at the same time, no matter how minor those of us in the know may have considered some of the issues to have been (and some of them not), the shear quantity of issues just simply overwhelmes at a certain point. I am not giving the media a pass, but rather saying Rutgers needs to take some accountability here too. If you honestly think Rutgers has done a good job of presenting itself to the world over the past 2-3 years, then I don't know what to tell you.

 

[FanuSanu52]

Not giving RU a pass, and it certainly has done some things that deserved to be called out, but not that loudly or in such an ongoing way. No way should it be the laughingstock of college sports in a climate that has storied programs making up classes, playing dumb while players get paydays, and committing all forms of other violations to protect their golden eggs. It's fkn ass backwards, and that's the fault of the NJ media vultures.

I don't understand. Sure, negative stories get you a couple of days/weeks of interest, but an RU rising to its potential gives you much more, imo. RU was a great national story in 2006, and everyone benefitted - the state got a brief reprieve from being a chronic butt of jokes, local media had a year worth of positive, compelling stories, etc. And yet the media remains hellbent on ensuring that type of success never happens again. F them.

Keeping it real Fanu!

Cause that worked so well for BM and GS.

You can say we stick our foot in it and to some degree that's true but they want to nitpick every little thing. I could say the same to the everyday person. You went 5mph over the speed limit. You jaywalked. You're jogging on the wrong side of the road. You crossed the street when the crosswalk signal was still red. What a terrible person you must be. It's easy to play that game with anything.

Some things are real issues that need to be dealt with no doubt about it. When those kind of things come up we take appropriate action and move on. But many things are just hype and sensationalism and that's the problem. There's really not much point of getting so angry about it. It's the environment we're in, you just have to accept it come to terms with it and move on with business. The media leopard isn't going to change it's spots, they are what they are and that's the way they will always be.

I've said this before but lately I find myself making more spur of the moment unplanned donations to the AD as my FU to them. I did it again this morning after that Sullivan article. In the scheme of things these aren't huge numbers but it's a productive response. They can spew all the hot air they like, the things we as fans and alums do are real, tangible and can help the school/AD. Channel your frustration, anger or what not into a more positive outcome.

Of course he did. He just found it irrelevant and silly

okay tough guy
