Rutgers AD hopes paper goes bankrupt

Oh I don't expect quick success in any sport for Rutgers in the B1G. That is what scares me a little bit. If your teams come out of the gate and get cub stomped across the board, will your supporters become disillusioned? If supporters don't say "Hey we need to really dig in here and support our entire AD like never before, including pouring our own money into the AD" you could be in for long term trouble. If your casual fan base views it as a hopeless situation long term, and looses interest it could reflect poorly on Delany, The B1G, and obviously yourselves. You must find away to keep your casual fans engaged even if the first few years are bumpy for you.

While I think a lot of what is said about PSU on both Scout and especially Rivals RU Boards is disgusting to say the least, I'm still rooting for you guys to have success outside of our games. I'm glad to have more Eastern Schools on board, and hope that UCONN joins in the future as well. I'll be more than pleased if you find a way to upset UM or OSU this year although they may be a little too tall of a task for this season. Put a muzzle on Julie and get Flood and co. the Hell out of Piscataway, and you will give yourselves a better shot at long term success.

Disgusting? You bet. When people make light of child abuse on your board, that's disgusting. When posters classify an entire alumni base, 99.999% of which had zero prior knowledge of any wrong doing, as pedphile enablers, that's disgusting. When a large portion of your fan base wished for the destruction of our school, teams, and local community, because our demise might assist your rise as a program, that's disgusting. It's Pitt level bitterness.

Now with PSU killing it in NJ recruiting again, certain fans are ramping up the Ped State rhetoric. RU "Fans" are condemning any parent that allows their kid to go to PSU, and labeling 16-17 year old kids as traitors for leaving the state of NJ. That's disgusting. I've been above board on RU as I like the addition, but some of your fans are living in mighty big glass houses. Apologies to our hosts for posting this on your board.
 
As much as it pains me to say this...let the Penn State faithful move on from this. The past few years have been painful enough for them. I'm not saying to forget, but this could've gone on anywhere. Allow them to move on and heal.

Nah. It takes a special kind of cult-like atmosphere for something that horrible to have reached that level.

If what happened there didn't require the DP....what does? And to put FB above common sense and decency and actually lift the lightweight penalty imposed by the toothless NCAA infractions committee and you have the audacity to call RU's AD a trainwreck yet defend the indefensible? I guess some think certain schools are above it all and only "easy" targets are fair game!?! And PSU was always an ally to RU and was always pushing to get RU into the B1G...I like the school,.. I just abhor the cult that think it was them who were persecuted! But I'm sure the state of NJ and RU appreciates that it has you're stamp of approval as a B1G add. Did'nt JH come from the L'ville AD and didn't they just have an unprecedented run of success there?

You should see how the kids on RU's team from Pennsylvania were treated by the PSU faithful for choosing RU over them!! Kudo's to 4*OL Chris Muller and 4*OT J Denman and 4 or 5 3* types like TB Peoples who will start or get major minutes next yr and many other Pennsy talent like DT Seb Joseph and the Arcidiacono brothers not to mention starting TE and future NFL candidate K.Kroft for standing up to it and the others running OOS into Urban Meyers hand's causing PSU to have to raid NJ, Md and Va to make up for it. How's Minnesota's last 5 recruiting classes gone? Outrecruiting PSU,MSU,OSU,Iowa,Indiana,NW,Wisc,Neb, or for that matter RU? Maybe Purdue?BTW this is the only board you'll find me participating on so play nice here. Pitt will be fine though I have bigger issues with their new conference than I do with Pitt who have some fine and not condescending visitors who participate here!! Leave it to PSU fans to come to a neutral board to belittle a decent bunch of non- cultist's decent bunch as a whole(Pitt fans).

I agree - people are taking way too much glee in taking something awful and attributing it to people who had nothing to do with it just because they're a sports' rival.

It's just twisted.
