Rutgers has given up 143 consecutive points without scoring.

[Palatine]

Iowa scored the last seven points of their game with Rutgers.

Ohio State score fifty-eight points

Michigan scored seventy-eight points.

That means that Rutgers has given up 143 points without answering. 143. Yikes.

And yes, this kind of historic ineptitude deserves its own thread. It's EPIC.

 

[Exit 4]

So if this continues for another couple weeks (and it likely will), you have to figure the Rutgers recruiting class is very poachable.

 

[uconndogs]

Yeah, but they have basketball season to look forward to.................

 

[tiger paw]

do you think anything would be that much different if that was us ? you never want to get tangled up with any team that is in or on the verge of a top 4 playoff spot. they will show no mercy.

Rutgers is a history of ineptitude - UConn one of success. Would Michigan roll over us this season? Sure. But, over time UConn would be competitive. Not Rutgers.

RUTGERS - Just shaking my head
I cant believe they are in a P5 and UConn and Cinci are dying to get in
It just ain't right

 

[BugsyCT]

We already know why they're in the B1G and we're not. It doesn't have to be explained again.

I wasn't looking for an explanation - I've got some brains
Thanks for saving your time and energy Bugs

Hey, Rutgers record of giving up a 143 points without scoring pales when you consider Christie's record of 246 dates without scoring.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

With that schedule there's no shame in that result. If the same thing is happening after years 6 and 7 in the BIG then it is a story.

 

[NJfballfan]

Let's see, tell me how you guys would do playing the #'s 2, 4, and 5 teams in the first 6 weeks of a new coaching tenure after firing Paul Pasqualone?

If you're Rutgers there is no room left for shame. It's all been used up.

Better than you did.

 

[NJfballfan]

Better than you did.

If you say so. I guess a 2-10 record in BD's first season in the AAC qualifies you to extrapolate a better result with RU's B1G schedule so far. I'm sure that roster would have just overwhelmed this year's version on UW, OSU, and Mich. Thanks for the detailed response.

Just getting a FG, and losing 143- puts us, mathematically, infinitely ahead of you guys.

We definitely took some lumps Diaco's first year but we're measly UConn not a powerhouse with access to the nations top recruits like RU.

I'm certainly not justifying giving up points in a historic fashion these past 2 games. I'm just saying our previous coach almost completely tore down the program with poor recruiting, lack of on and off team discipline, and poor work habits on his part. Ash has to overcome all that plus install a whole new system that the previously recruited players are not suited for. My analogy to what Pasqualone did to your program or what G. Robinson did to Syracuse's program are appropriate IMO. I can't say BD's first year would have resulted in 2 consecutive blowout shutouts, but I feel confident enough to say his first team would have lost both (and to UW also) by pretty large margins.

We wouldn't have let things get that far out of hand before bringing in our secret weapon.

Look - football is just a starting point at the U of NJ
UNJ is a dump fire athletically
Getting a UConn guy to head the mens BB program is a good start but he will be facing huge recruitment obstacles above and beyond what UConn faces being in the AAC
Somehow UNJ conned their way into a P5 and that was great for them but My God theres not much upside to UNJ at all

I thought we were discussing the football program. Bball is for another thread.

You are the one saying that Rutgers program was ruined by recent coaches.

If you include every coach of the last 50 years, you have a point.

No, what I said was that Flood set us back from all the progress made under Schiano (paraphrasing myself) and that was analagous to what Pasqualoni did to your program after Edsall left.

So, you completely ignore the beginning and end of the Schiano era and the enromous sh7t desert that came the 50 years before.

Gotcha.

Reality is that Rutgers hasn't just started sucking. If anything was a blip, it was the two years of the past half century that weren't sucky.
