I feel like you're understating the significant behind the 7th place finish of RU softball in the B1G.

Kind of like being a fan of a school who's most famous football alum is a wife beating POS, its former basketball coach made his players shoot free throws buck a** naked while having basketballs fired at them, its AD is a lying two faced sack of crap who harassed her own former players, and its former football head coach skirted the rules left and right to try to influence professors into allowing degenerates play football games. Worst of all was the poor kid who committed suicide after being harassed by Rutgers Students. So in summary all Rutgers fans approve of domestic abuse, bullying, cheating, and hate crimes. Cool.

Do tell about these atrocities. You mean the one case that actually happened on campus a.k.a. the dubious shower incident for which Sandusky was acquitted of the most serious charges?

Sandusky? Sandusky? Oh yeah the former Penn State coach who was convicted of sexually assaulting 10 boys over 15 years but apparently was "acquitted of the most serious charges." Yeah, he's a peach.

Seriously Mainlinedave....probably the single greatest pull of all time was Rutgers getting into the Big10.

Lets give full credit to the Rutger's administration for pulling that herculean feat off. Truth be told, your President and AD were able to recognize the changing conference landscape and position your program to be selected. But, lets be clear, Rutger's selection was in no way a measure of even moderate success in the athletic arena. In fact, Rutgers was one of the weaker D1 programs in America.

What kills UCONN fans is UCONN has earned the right to be in a P5 conference. We earned the right by investing in our athletic program and producing winners. Rutgers is the exact opposite. As as Rutger's fan, you should be smiling every day knowing you took the Big10 to the cleaners.

BTW since Rutgers has been selected to the Big10, its programs , AD, and coaches have been a series of embarrassing incidents. Not just losing but literally embarrassing the conference. My guess is scarcely a week goes by that the Big10 does not regret inviting Rutgers. The good news for Rutgers is you got in before the Big10 smartened up. The bad news for UCONN is the debacle that is Rutgers will likely make conferences more gun shy about adding new members.

I generally do not like to take shots at other fans but don't come on our board and talk . UCONN has been screwed enough...we don't need it from another undeserving P5 member fan.

Conference expansion is about football. Period. RU trumps UCONN in every single conceivable way in football, and we are AAU.

Better fan support, better stadium, better geography, more TV viewers in the NYC DMA, you name it. Plus,we are an AAU school and you are not.

If the Big Ten had to do it all over again today, only a UCONN fan thinks UCONN would get the nod over Rutgers.

The fact that you make such emotional and hysterical posts about whatever happened at Penn State means it's personal to you. As a Rutgers fan you've probably always been jealous of Penn State and were probably psyched to have something like that happen to the school and knock them down a peg.

Never could be jealous of anything to do with that cesspool of a university.

All of that, and yet we still pale in comparison to that cesspool of a university that would rather allow little kids to be raped, then actually report the monster for fear of the damage it would cause to their program.

At least I can sleep at night. At least kids weren't sexually molested because my coach turned a blind eye. So yeah, that is pretty cool.

God is good that Paterno is rotting in Hell.
 
Mr. Conehead said:
What happened under Paterno's watch was horrible; but, blaming the entire university, all 46,500 some odd students, is foolish. Who do you think you are, Ted Cruz? I am a UConn fan and I live in Jersey. While I think Herman was a catastrophic AD and President Barchi has no idea how to run a D1 athletic program as he was hired specifically for the Rutgers/UMDNJ merger; I don't think everyone at Rutgers is an idiot, especially as a lot of my neighbor's kids go there and they are good kids.

And, the RAC is a dump. I went to the last UConn v. Rutgers game there with a neighbor who is a Rutgers Alumni and he says its a dump. At least Rutgers may get a basketball training facility soon; but, it does nothing to address the condition of the RAC. As for attendance, for the 2014/5 basketball season, Rutgers average home attendance was 5,770. That was good enough for 91 out of 100 listed D1 programs and dead last in the B1G - Wisconsin #5, Indiana #8, Nebraska #10, Michigan St #14, Illinois #15, Ohio St #16, Iowa #18, Maryland #25, Michigan #28, Minnesota #29, Purdue #32, Missouri #55, Penn St #56 (ouch!), Northwestern #72. That's a fact.

http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/m_basketball_RB/Reports/attend/2015.pdf

Oh, UConn, playing in a G5 conference was #37 with 10,687 per game on average.

As for football, Rutgers has a bigger football stadium than UConn and it is on campus. But, even with the newly proposed renovation to the Hale Center, Rutgers is still without an indoor, full field training center, which UConn has in the Burton/Shenkman center.

By the way, 'MainLineDave' is an interesting name. I am not aware of any location in Jersey being called the Main Line; but, its a common nickname for an affluent collection of suburbs along US 30/Lancaster Avenue just west of Philadelphia that get its name from the old 'Main Line' of the Pennsylvania Railroad that includes such towns as Ardmore, Villanova, Radnor, Malvern, etc. Any chance you grew-up there and could not get into Penn St and went to Rutgers instead?

No chance that I'm from PA and couldn't get into Penn State. I'm from NJ and only recently moved to PA.

Nice try though.

"RU trumps UCONN in every single conceivable way in football."

Can you tell me what year Rutgers won the Big East in football (hence going to a BCS Bowl)? A 10 year old FBS program made it to a top level Bowl, while the school that has been playing top-level football for decades longer never has.

Think before you post next time.
 
mainlinedave,

I total get it. It is tough to be a Rutger's fan. Rutgers is like that rich kid born with everything that literally can't get out of his own way. I mean Rutgers is the flagship university for one of the most densely populated states in America, they are a very good academic school, they are less than 50 miles from NYC, and NJ has a ton of in-state football talent. Yet, despite an abundance of riches, Rutger's athletically is complete disaster. Rutgers is NCAA equivalent of the Cleveland Browns.

To be honest, I do not hate Rutgers. In fact I am kind of pulling for them Personally, unlike fans of BC and Syracuse, I believe a strong performer in the region helps lift all surrounding programs. The SEC understand this concept...for every kid who goes to Alabama there is another 2 who go to Auburn or LSU to play against Alabama. If Rutgers had a real program it might bring some excitement to NE football which it currently does not have. But passed history tells me Rutgers will continue to falter.

Listen, if I was a Rutgers fan, I would be tempted to go on another school board and talk smack. After 30 years of disappointment and incompetence that kinda of frustration needs to come out. But don't blame UCONN...blame your own staff. In every sporting metric UCONN exceeds Rutgers and if UCONN gets into a P5 conference UCONN will really dominate Rutgers. UCONN has always achieved more with less...that is what we do.

If the Big10 had it over to do again they likely would not invite Rutgers. Big10 is all about dignity and tradition....Rutgers has been an embarrassment on the field but, more importantly, in the newspapers. I am not saying that to be spiteful but clearly Rutgers needs to do some strong self reflection.

Now if you don't mind can we talk about UCONN on the UCONN board? Best of luck next year...

Given Rutgers' history of hiring abusive authoritative figures (Herman, Rice), you are one to talk...

Again...think before you post.

Paterno is at Rutgers now?
 
I've always held that Rutgers should just go full ahead with rebranding as the University of New Jersey. That's what it is. This business of calling the school 'Rutgers' is just an age long attempt at trying to be respectable in their geographic footprint by simple word association with the likes of Princeton, Columbia, Lehigh -----Rutgers.

It's not the same. It's the University of New Jersey. If their students, alumni, etc are really honest and proud of their state U - although I canlt imagine for what - they certainly act like there is something to be proud of - they should call it that.

We are the UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT and we're the best state public U in the northeast USA, and WE WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS.

Dave you guys won the lottery because North Jersey has the population density of Calcutta. Congrats.

You need to face the fact that in every other conceivable measure your school is an embarrassment to the B1G. 2015 Rutgers Recap

If conference realignment were truly about football, you'd be stuck the American. Fortunately, for Rutgers, it isn't. Enjoy the fact that you got out.

God, RU fans are the most needy fan base on the internet. One would have hoped that once you got into the B1G you would not have been quite so desperate for other fans' approval. I guess it's not easy being a Rutgers fan.

God you are an insufferable tool. Please continue with sucking at life.
 
@mainlinedave I suggest that if you want to come here and run your mouth you acknowledge the attendance numbers you claimed were false. I even gave RU the benefit of the doubt and said 500. Otherwise..again..don't let the cyber door here hit you in the a** on your way out.
 
I give fellow UCONN fans credit. I was going to reply to Mainlinedave and decided he wasn't worth the effort. Your responses are better and much more dignified than I would have come up with. Here's to hoping the troll gets banned!

I got banned on the Rutgers forum yesterday, I kid you not, for reminding them that their dream season ended against Kansas State on an obscure winter night on the NFL network in response to them being elitist regarding Temple.

Their QB commit decommitted from RU and chose Temple, and they were dumbfounded how any sane individual would make the decision to play for a "lower tier" program like Temple.

That was all it took. We let these guys troll for days and on their own sites they will ban you for stating one fact they don't want to remember.
