Rutgers interested in Big Ten rivalry trophy with Maryland

[hexlub]

Little do they know but Diaco has rivalry trophies made for both of them.

Have fun rooting for your $35 million because that's about all you got.

Cable boxes, cable boxes
sis boom bah
we get 35 million
for sucking wad

Well except that they don't actually get the $35 million. I believe their share is @$10m

 

[CL82]

Really? Thinking about how RU, which was once a peer school, is now in the Big Ten while you are in the AAC, makes you feel good?

Or do you derive pleasure from knowing RU will soon be making about $35 million a year, while UCONN pulls in a whopping 2 million a year?

Or is it that Rutgers plays teams like Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Michigan State, and Maryland every other year at home, in packed houses of their own fans....while UCONN plays Tulsa, SMU, and Tulane in front of 30K if they're lucky? Does that make you feel when you think of Rutgers?

Lolz. Dave at last count I believe you guys were about 21 national championships away from being a "peer" institution with Connecticut.

 

[Fishy]

Dave doesn't like this game.

 

[sportsart]

Never bring a sword to a gun fight Dave.

 

[CL82]

@mainlinedave ..hey why don't you go spend some time drumming up some more $$ to build a standalone indoor football only practice facility and upgrade that embarrassing place you call home for RU's hoops teams.

That's not really fair. They have a hefty trash bag that they use, of course it is for track and field as well.

Well, I'm comforted by:

1) we've passed Rutgers academically,
2) our trophy case is almost 100x the size of theirs, and
3) we've avoided the scandal-per-month that those schmucks have created for themselves.

We're willing to measure dicks with Rutgers any time.

 

[ruthetiger]

lol. That's funny. Measuring stick. Epic...

Sometimes, it's not about your small size and your large trophy case, it's about what you bring potentially that can bring the wood. It's ok though, your centimeters can also do the job. Size matters not...

 

[Fishy]

So, new guy, what's in the trophy case?

Rutgers cleared house months ag, and hasn't had a scandal since.

As far as your #1 is concerned, that is false. You're basing this on USNWR? The most flawed and gamed ranking out there? For every list that shows you've passed us by academically, I can give you a list in which Rutgers is ahead.

$15 million this year, and rising until we're fully integrated in 2021. Then it will be at least #35 million

 

[mainlinedave]

We've never played Tulsa or Tulane at home, IDIOT.

But you will be, . They play in your conference. It's just a matter of time.

 

[Fishy]

Got any trophies?

Interest however the source the vast majority of people use is US NEWS so...
UCONN #57
Rutgers #72
So...


And are you seriously bragging that you've gone less than a year without a major scandal?

 

[CTMike]

Rutgers...

 

[billybud]

Gotta love those Big Ten rivalry things...

The Old Brown Jug
The Old Brass Spittoon
The Old Oaken Bucket
The $5 Bit of Broken Chair Trophy (this is not a joke)
The Floyd of Rosedale (a metal pig)
The Lilibuck (a carved wooden turtle)

and a a half dozen more

Rutgers - No scandal in months. No trophies in decades.

 

[ruthetiger]

So, new guy, what's in the trophy case?

Nothing! Being candid and equally as funny.

 

[ruthetiger]

lol wut

Reread please. It's sarcasm.

Actually a little more than that, but we did break a record. Fascinating. Isn't it?

You're right. But every metric is flawed. So who cares. Some say differently others say the same.

Here's that top-notch Rutgers education at work.

 

[Adios]

ruthetiger's a good sport. Dave, on the other hand...

Hey I take what we got in stride. I'm not lying about this, we got lucky. Hers would be great fun to be in the position we're in now. I'm tried of all the dissing. Both are good institutions. There are some programs we offer academically where we're top notch in, and there are some you offer where you're top notch in. I just wish our basketball program was in at least decent shape. I blame that on lack of progressiveness overall by the AD, and the state. I do envy the support most schools get, including you guys.
