You think someone responding to a shot you take at us ON OUR BOARD is being sensitive?
 
Yes. Especially considering you took me making a joke about your fan base travelling as 'bragging'.
 
Yeah I wonder what would happen if I went to the RU board and started to take thinly veiled shots at the fanbase. I'm sure they'd offer to bring me out for ice cream because you know, I'm just joking.

UConn can keep their crappy band at home
I am looking forward to having tea at the Rutgers Tailgate Saturday morning. I have Earl Gray, Chamomile, English Breakfast, and various other pekoe and herbal blends of tea along with all the accoutrements, from scones and crumpets to cucumber sandwiches. It will truly be delightful, sipping tea and listening to Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart until the Glorious Rutgers University Band will fill our ears with the sacred sounds of the Alma Mater and the Fight Song, "The Bells Must RING!"

I can't stop laughing about this I don't think a uconn fan could have done a better job posting to make the rutgirls fanbase look bad. "The Bells Must RING!"

Look, you seem like a decent enough of a guy. But I'm no mood to deal with Rutty guys this week.

Our OL can't create enough of crease for mouse to fit through and our OC is so old and outdated that he still uses wallpaper. We're in a bad enough mood even if it wasn't Rutgers week. So pardon my rotten manners.
 
Saw this thread and had to post as I have information re: this situation. Usually Rutgers would like for requests for seats including bands to be made before the season so they can keep that section reserved and not available for public purchase. UConn made this request last week, way too late to reserve close to an extra 200-300 seats. This game is selling fast and the section where the band would have been put is generally sold out already. It looks bad when it is written about on a blog but that is the reality. Just wanted to clear things up a little bit.

EDIT: UConn also sent back a number of tickets from their allotment and RU began selling them, UConn then asked for them back just last week as well as wanting more for the band.
 
Actually is sounds like Schiano's manners and judgement rubbed off on Rutgers.
 
Looks like YOUR school RETURNED unsold tickets to Rutgers LAST WEEK and Now four days before the game you suddenly asked for the Tickets back so you can bring a Band? This follows along with the posts here of you suddenly having 'some tickets' again for this game thru your school for sale as Rutgers did give you back a small block.BTW thanks for the
locker room fodder for this game with the jilted Jersey players on your team running off to media about why Rutgers never offered them..thanks for pumping our players up for gametime!

Honestly i'm just here for some football talk but I can see why some RU fans react the way they do considering some of the stuff that is posted here. Same with on the RU board, I don't get involved with all the back and forth.

Blah, blah blah... Rutty said no to the band when they just as easily could have said yes. Man up and own it.

I understand your position as an opposing fan but it is what it is

If they made the request before the season started they would have been accommodated. They made the request just last week when tickets were already being sold in that section.

What it "is" is an indication that UConn is a strong draw in Jersey. It's also a cop-out. RU knows that UConn has a band. They know that UConn will bring them. This isn't a non-conference foe. The space should be reserved automatically. It should be assumed.

Again UCONN RETURNED its ticket allotment the end of last week to RU..then UCONN put a request in on Monday-Tuesday for more tickets AND the band.RU gave them BACK a block of tickets,but others were allready sold. You want the band to sit in the top rows of the upper deck..or just boot out the people where the tickets you returned were allready sold.??Looks like POOR planning by someone in Uconn admin...

UConn has not sent their band down there in many, many years, so why would RU assume we would this year. Hey I don't like RU any more than anyone else, but fair is fair.

Schools do no reserve revenue producing sections automatically. When UConn returned it's allotment RU began selling those tickets.

To this point ^^^ is anyone on twitter that can pose this question to Dez? Because if this is how it really went down, IMO, would demonstrate more internal splintering in the AD / football program. I would love to know how this REALLY went down. I don't think we would decide the week b4 a rival game that we r NOW going to bring our band..... But who knows?
Again, I would think that Uconn would want to bring everyone to include the laundry service people with them for this game since these schools are two of the most talked about in terms of realignment. It's making a statement like "take a look B1G & ACC, this is how we roll, take us in your next expansion round". Who knows.....

If true, I withdraw my criticism.

I don't buy it either. I was going to ask RUNVILLANOVA for his source.... Tony the janitor in the ticket office ain't gonna cut it.
