Rut Roh stoops to new low (please brace yourself)

[Sea Goat]

Squarely from the realm of "You can't make this up", please check out Rutgers BB new pitch to recruits. Since Hobbs moved on to Rutgers I suppose it can make some claim to UConn's legacy? The three recognizable faces on Rutgers' promo material are Ray, Shabazz and Rip. Can UConn get royalty fees? I'll tell you what - just get us a cut of the B1G's revenue. If this doesn't prove that it's all about (and only about) cable boxes, nothing will!

Message to Delany - Rut Roh is a farce and you have promoted it.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

This has to be a joke.

For more enjoyment: Oh Rutgers...

 

[Sea Goat]

This has to be a joke.

Yes it is - the joke's on us.

 

[Hoophound]

Best way to fight it is to get media and sites like Barstool to pick up on it. They'll make RU regret it.

Already happening. It went viral pretty fast.

Drummond is there too, and isn't that Jeremy Lamb?

And 'Yell in the bottom right corner.

Rutgers once again is the college athletics embodiment of being born on 3rd base and thinking they hit a triple.

if you look closely, they have the names on the left. I can make out Voskul, Butler, Allen and wait for it... Ollie (looks like it's coming out of Lamb's mouth)...

Rutgers basketball used the financial success of UConn players to brag about its own coaching staff

The was my favorite of all the replies:

 

[Marty Jackson]

would be awesome if uconn did the same picture, except with everyone in the Uconn jerseys.
and a national flag blue tint.

 

[Adios]

Gotta start somewhere. So they have a new tradition of hiring a coaching staff that coached up 1.1 billion worth of NBA labor.

One of the most pathetic advertisements I've ever seen. "We have no accomplishments of our own but look at all the great players our former conferencemate produced!!!"

My favorite response on that dead spin article:

Am I the only one kinda curious what the number would be if you did this for Kentucky or UNC or UCLA?

Seriously? In the sport we have been the best duck**** college in the country at in the past 16 years, we are still looked down on? The answer of course is "since Steve Piekel and Carl Hobbs have been coaching, 4>3>2>1," assh*le.

Rutgers taking credit for basketball players who didn't go to Rutgers

This even popped-up on the NYC UConn Alumni facebook page.

I had the same thought.

As a fan I would be beyond embarrassed. I can imagine all 12 members of the Rutty fan base must be livid.

One day we will be considered a blue blood instead of the program that just put together some good years.

Have had no less than 4 people individually bring this up to me at work today. 2 Syracuse grads, a UNC grad and an Indiana grad. I've had to play defense all day.

"This tactic makes sense for schools like Duke, Kentucky, and Kansas" and Uconn...?????? Talk about a swing and a miss.

all the players are from uconn, and you can't even mention it with that group??? Ughhhh!

Good to see at least one person affiliated with Rutgers is actually playing defense.

I pulled a picture of it up at rec soccer practice to my fellow assistant coach who happens to be a Rutgers fan. He stared at it for a minute and then you can see him figure out who the players were and he just looked at me and said 'what the hell.'
