Nicky. I'ave been a big Rutgers supporter as I think given the right competition they will thrive in the B1G.
I also think the addition of UConn to the B1G would have been impossible without Rutgers. Some would agrue that's its still impossible but with you guys in their may be hope. Anyone who knows the B1G knows the rivalries within the league are important . Even games like Purdue vs Indiana or Minn vs Wisconsin add to the lore.
The B1G Apple battle will actually be of greater importance as it has the possibility to energize the Tri-State area. One of the largest demographics in the country..
Rutgers should realize Maryland has a much wider national name recognition than Rutgers.
For the current fan (remember football fans and basketball fan of a team are frequently the same) UConn by virtue of its recent success has better name recognition than Rutgers.
Many fans outside the NE thought Rutgers was an elite private school. I had to explain you were a flagship state university of a pretty big state.

@True or not I don't like SouthronCross's arrogant tone!!RU is well known internationally and has the most Fortune 500 CEO's of any school!In Nj were I was raised in the 50'/70s MD was never much thought of and NY/NJ is where the people are!Your post was done at least tastefully!I lived in LA for years and RU was thought of as an IVY then!lol..but it was better then!
 
Heck,RU was a bigger power in hoop's than most in the East in the 70s/early 80s!Maryland was mostly considered in Delmarva with smallish fanbase forever?National?MD?Not that I would notice!But at least your rational AZHusky!Thanks for your input!

A UNC fan says the world looks down on Uconn because of APR. The irony is unbelievable. Also because of an under performing football team? Again, irony so thick you have to cut it with a knife.

One, please re-read my post. I said the perception is what they see. And, I didn't say the world. I said some ACC fans. Besides, we all know that perception is not always reality.

Two, I certainly will not comment on any other school's academice misconduct, not with the mess going on in Chapel Hill. I even said as much in the post you quoted. I have not said anything about UConn's, because I do not know the whole story.

Last, as for your football team, that UConn is struggling IS the perception among ACC football fans, by and large. That is pretty much a given. I am also quite aware of how UNC has struggled since Mack Brown left for Texas following the 1997 season.

If you feel I've insulted UConn, you could not be more wrong. I just offered the perspective of other ACC fans that I've encountered. Nothing more.

Really it is getting so tiring to read other schools arguing with each other on our board. What is worse though is having schools that are moving on come to this board to shat on us. Please go home to continue this arguing. Frank sometimes you make sense and other times you pee on us. Can't you ever bring good news? Buggsy your time has run out on here. Believe
me we all know where we stand.

If Rutgers fans ( NYC Wanker) think they are going to bring Big Ten flags to the Rent and wave them about, they may never seen the game, in other words it conceivable they will that they would even think it's a good idea. Hope someone talks them out of it.

Looking at Rutgers' records for the '70s and '80s, all I will say is that your idea of being a 'power' is a whole lot different than mine.

I know Rutgers had some good teams during the '70s and early '80s, but, for the majority of the last 40+ years, RU has been an average to below average program.

UMD had their down times, too. On the whole, though, they have been a lot better than RU, and, thats without question.

Did you read my whole post, or, just pick out this one part? Read a little further down. I said I would not comment on what happened at UConn, not with the misconduct going on in Chapel Hill. I clearly said its the perception other ACC fans have. Fairly or unfairly.

Hey, I WANT UConn in the ACC. I think you'd be a GREAT addition in all sports. Its my own belief that Swofford and Co blew a great opportunity by not taking you. And, it might bite the league in the backside when all is said and done.

Here's the only analogy I can come up with to help you see from our perspective. We are the patient with the very rare disease. You are the latest med student to waltz through our room and attempt to impress us with your knowledge of the medical profession. It doesn't matter if your empathy is genuine or fake. The mixture of it with your need to impose upon us your opinions of what ails us for the 100th time is irritating. The bottom line your mere presence is a reminder of the cruel joke fate has played on us. Forgive us if we resent you and your clipboard.

I actually hate UNC more than Duke, and it's not just right now, it's all the time. Everyone talks about the obvious reasons but its also because their fans honestly think good ole Roy is on the same page as Calhoun

Except in this case the med student suffers from the same rare disease but has a treatment that only works on him

I've hated UNC for decades. This guy is maybe the least annoying Carolina fan I've ever seen.

You are far from the worst visitor. We have just had or fair share of guests both empathetic with or situation and complete tools about it. I won't speak for everyone but I know I am still on edge about conference realignment and certainly jealous of programs that made out better

I think we've reached the point where no visitor can come here and not set us off. We're too used to SU, RU and UL fans trying to come here to rewrite their realities after finding that their new conference mates are not really all that thrilled by their arrival.

On some level, even the good ones are all here to peer down into our pit of misery and see what sort of wreckage their conference has created and for that, I hope their pets wither and die.

Of course, the day a Tulane fan stops by to make friends will go down as the ugliest day on Boneyard history.

You guys got hosed. No doubt about it.
 
Seems completely absurd to me.

But at least it's something to liven up this board a little bit. It's been a bit of a ghost town lately.

Oh when UConn is playing Akron in the Motor Tire Papa's International bowl, someone is going to send a link to Tommy Bowden. Tommy's going to be waxing poetic about the undefeated 98 Tulane team when someone points out that UConn can at least beat South Carolina and then things will get real.

When Dabo Swinney makes you look bad you end up with a chip on your shoulder.

Sounds like you really want in to the ACC. Personally, I want in the B1G. I have some affection for the Tobacco Road schools because they're good basketball rivals and seemed to want us to be in, but dislike the schools that were hostile to us or sabotaged the Big East -- Fla State, BC, Cuse, Pitt, Miami. May they continue to bring down each other's strength of schedule.

Not sure how you arrived at that conclusion. UCONN doesn't need to be in the ACC for me to despise Duke. Additionally, I have always felt that UCONN's long term interests are best served in the Big Ten. In fact, land-grant, flagship universities are increasingly a minority in the ACC.

And to continue Oka's analogy: we are the patients to your med residency. There is a wide spectrum of reaction by patients to their doctors even when situations are hopeless. Just follow Sam Simon. Not all of us have given up hope or are destroyed by events.

It is good to have allies even among those who are hostile to Uconn. And it is good for you to know that not every UConn fan represents the entire base.
 
If you've ventured over to the CSNBBS Realignment board, you will have seen that the "From the Inside" poster is falling apart at the seems. He's becoming increasingly more erratic. My hunch is that it is not a real inside scoop. I'm sure most of you already knew that; however, his latest posts are confirming that he's cracked.
