I thought Savage was from Pitt?

I thought Savage was from Pitt?

He played at Rutgers for 2009 and 2010. Transferred to Arizona and sat out 2011. Left Arizona When Rich Rod was hired and enrolled at Pitt where he redshirted in 2012. Played one season (2013) for Pitt.

I just learned that today on Wikipedia.

Reading the dreaded NOA now. 16 players were allowed to compete after flunking drug tests. 16!

There will be a lot of reporting to follow. RU officials are confident they will escape major sanctions b/c of firing Flood, Hermann, etc.

"We be all better now"- Rutgers President Robert Barchi's letter on potential NCAA violations

But hey they are in the Big10... /s

 

[#BleedBlueFam]

@huskymedic any buzz on where Chris Laviano will land?

 

[UCYamsMD]

Wow. Flood was an epic disaster.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

If they are smart they should slap themselves with a 10 year bowl ban and beg for leniency.

Nothing other than he's taking his time because he doesn't graduate till the spring so he wouldn't be able to join a new team until the summer as a graduate transfer.

They're planning to start self imposing by losing all of their conference games next year.

Just hearing the name Tom Savage made me cry a little. Savage threw the pass that hit Tim Brown in stride and cost us the chance to win the first home game for Jasper Howard. Thank you Aaron Bagsby.

They are set to vacate wins, if only it mattered.

What about Hayden Rettig? He was set to graduate after the fall, right?

 

[HuskyHawk]

Doing all this and still being terrible? God, that's even more embarrassing

Nothing other than whats out there... ?maybe back to west coast. Hey maybe he comes as a package deal w/ new OC/QB coach

LOL. If they are really smart they will ban themselves from ever playing Ohio State and Michigan, as "punishment" for their evil deeds.

Don't you need some to vacate some?

 

[freescooter]

Banning Rutgers from a bowl game is sort of like not allowing your 6 year old to drive. Sort of a meaningless excercise.

 

[NavinRJohnson]

I can watch tape of their former basketball coach whip a ball at his player and kick another in the @ss all day. RU pride.

The Flood-Hermann fiasco further tarnishes the Rutgers brand as NCAA releases findings | Politi

 

[Exit 4]

So Rutty was humiliated during the regular season on the field in the B1G and now this. Rutty doesn't appear to be a very attractive place to be right now if your are a recruit looking at your options. I think you can rationalize that signing up for UConn football is a better place to be. We are more likely to win and who wants to sign up for weekly poundings by Top 20 programs? Who wants to be the Washington Generals?

What's the over/under in years before Rutgers gets their own 30 for 30 on ESPN? It would be a mini series of epic proportions.

Rutgers is amazing. They can't help but fail. They fail even at cheating. Like a down on their luck Charlie Bucket getting the Golden Ticket in their Wonka Bar, all of Rutgers problems were about to be over. They would tour the factory and then be handed the keys to the kingdom by a grinning Willy Wonka. That said when the day came to visit the Chocolate Factory they proceeded to piss their pants, nearly choked to death on a stolen Gobstopper and burned the factory to the ground while smoking a J with an Oompa Loompa behind a giant candy mushroom. Failure is truly in their blood.

Misery loves company. Unfortunately for us our company that continues to embarrass itself is in a significantly better position than we are.

They went 2-8 against a very solid schedule, averaged a 44k attendance (which was viewed as very bad) and in a conference where the FT members are raking in $30M annually. They are certainly in a bad spot, but how many would trade places with them right now regardless of their PR/AD issues compared to where we are currently. That is a very sad thought to try and process....
