How did your trophies work out for you?

Hey, a couple of threads earlier, I asked you what Rutgers's biggest athletic achievement was. Have you come up with one?

I'll help you out. In my house, March 29 is a holiday, and if you have to ask why, don't bother. In the room where I'm typing, there are six autographed UConn articles within eyesight, three from national championships in basketball (one of which I haven't gotten around to hanging up yet because it seems like it was just yesterday), and two from Big East championships in football.

On this very desk, there are two pieces of wood from national title games which, as you must know, we won -- because, as you should know, those are games that my alma mater doesn't lose.

I'll ask again: what's Rutgers's biggest athletic achievement to date? Personally, I can't answer the question for UConn because it's a pretty tough choice, but you must have something that makes you proud, right?

They got invited into the B1G. And set themselves up to experience the wrath of other fan bases for being so lousy.
 
RU has no athletic achievement. Apart from inventing the sport of football, we've done nothing! That much I can admit. And with that, we are terrible at everything and you clearly are better at everything else, including football. So you're right. You can stare at your MBB and WBB clippings all you want. The fact still remains that the lot if you lean to the rear, mostly, basketball and not football. That is your main focus and it always will be. As you've said before, football drives the bus. Yet you bring up your bb credentials, and it still has gotten you no where.

Here's the rub - you flat suck at football. If football is what Rutgers has been focusing on at the expense of, you know, every other sport.... it hasn't worked. When in doubt, fall back to your strength, (e.g. UConn and hoop), but you can't fall back on anything.

Nothing.

You're Rutgers. You're a punchline to a thousand jokes and you're writing new ones daily.

Our BB credentials have brought us so many National Championship rings that you need two people to wear them.

Yes, rutgirls geographically backed into a B1G invite. But your football program is driving a very short bus:

In the very near future UCONN will find a home in a power conference. For the love of me I pray it's the B1G so we can continue to play rutgirls in every collegiate sport there is.

Not sure what point you're trying to make with the random RU football pic. It looks more like this:

But somehow, fishy, we still got the invite. Geography can't be the only credential because if that was the case then the BigTen should have taken Fordham which is int he middle of NYC.

As usual, it seems your football team didn't show up on the field for a big game. Great pic! Thanks.
 
Again...you're right; we did back into the B1G, but the bottom line is we're in. Yes we do suck at football, as you say...but what does that make you? Bottom line its sour grapes. Deal with it and have some fun.

I can't blame you for not knowing this but champagne's not sour.

Look, I get that you're pumping your school b/c you're a RU fan and we're UConn fans doing the same but you can't honestly be that dense to think you asked a serious question with this Fordham . There is no other reason than the fact that Rutgers is in a MASSIVE DMA for them getting into the B1G. When you can find one I'm sure we'd all like to hear what it might be. Please enlighten.....

As far as traveling to a Rutgers-UConn game, we are at a disadvantage. We have to travel to New Jersey. You guys get to come to Connecticut.

No, sport, population is the only issue.

You seem to be a decent fellow, but you can't lay out a case for Rutgers' athletics.

Marginal football, vanilla Olympic sports and mindf---ingly bad basketball.

Do you have any idea how amazing it is that the entire crowd at a Rutgers' hoop game could fit in a 747 and there'd be about 100 empty seats? Do you know how insane that is?

I've been to a BCS game and a Final Four. Have you? I've seen my basketball team beat no. 1-ranked teams in the country, and watched two different RBs earn All American status over a three-year span. Have you?

By telling me that football drives the bus, it sounds like you're bragging that you've done something in football. So, what have you done?

Note that I haven't even broached subjects like women's basketball, or men's soccer, or women's soccer, or field hockey, or baseball.

Rutgers trolls can be annoying, but the fact that Rutgers even HAS trolls is downright astounding.
 
Coach Flood said:
Cool little fact of the day:

Rutgers has 400% more wins this year than UCONN.

:-)
Expand ...

And 100% less National Championship trophies all of the other years.

I'm guessing you'll consider that a tie.

Not sure about our basketball since I literally have zero interest in the sport. Even if we were no1 in the country I probably wouldn't watch it....I just dislike the sport.

I actually proposed that RU cancel every single sport but football but that didn't go over well on the RU board.

here is a question that none of you have answered and it's a serious one.....

Why do all you guys keep mentioning every other sport besides football? I posted this on the football board about going to a football game and tailgating at a football game. I have zero interest in any other sport out there whether it's ping pong, synchronized swimming or basketball.

Why do you guys keep bringing up basketball?

Why the would you keep bringing up rutgirls football?
 
Coach Flood said:
Did you not notice that it's Rutgers week? I'll probably be here until Sunday or until I get banned for whatever reason before then.

So your only reason for talking rutgirls football is that it's rutgirls week on The Boneyard?

Pretty much. I don't generally go on other teams' forums but the fact that I live in CT makes it pretty sweet. It's always nice to talk ish to my friend uconn fans when they lose a game.

We ARE a power conference.

We're in the AAC, winning championships and pumping 100's of millions into academics and athletics.

You'll be in the B1G and can't get the payout quick enough to stay afloat.

I like our past, present and future compared to yours.
 
Because all they talk about is basketball and why they should have been chosen because they forgot to play football.

Of course you'd say this. It's the only thing you have left to say.

How have we forgotten to play football when we have 2 Big East Championships and a BCS Bowl appearance?

Kinda makes you think what your college forgot, no?

Haha! Double talk Johnny! You're right, all we have left to say at UCONN is that we win championships.

Happy Compressed Turkey Day, Tiger!

Let me try to break this down for you easy.

Big East championships:
Rutgers - 1
Uconn - 2

BCS appearances
Rutgers - 0
Uconn - 1

the reason basketball is brought up is because you refuse to acknowledge these numbers and basketball further strengthens Uconn's argument that our athletic department's accomplishments, including football, puts Rutgers to shame
