Trouble in Ruttyland

They do have this on the letterhead:

It was played up more a few years ago when the legislature made a push for it.

Nah, they still try to make it sound like an Ivy or Patriot league school or something.

(i.e.: What school is your kid going to? What schools are you looking at?

Michigan, Tennessee, Nebraska, Texas, Georgia, Maryand, Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rutgers.

Nope - they're a poser university at everything.

Lol genuinely interested in how you came up with that group of schools to list

Stream of consciousness.

Princeton was founded as the College of New Jersey back in Colonial days and thus, I believed 'owned' the University of New Jersey name. Queens College, also founded before 1776. The school eventually went bankrupt and was brought back by a guy with the last name Rutgers, thus the name change to Rutgers College in the 1820's. In the 1860's it became the land-grand state university for New Jersey.

Anyone want to come-up with new names for Rutgers after it got saved by the B1G?

Rearmost. Signifies LAST while saving them money on their logos by allowing them to maintain the capital letter "R" on jackets, hats, etc.

Since I live in Jersey, Rutgers is just State U to us, but I can see how outside of the State the state it sounds like a private.

I won a bar trivia night in DC years ago knowing that Rutgers was a state school.

The question was “name the state schools founded before the Revolution” or something along those lines...

William & Mary would also fit as it's a state university (Virginia) and was founded in the late 1600's just after New College, i.e. Harvard. Delaware, Pitt and the College of Charleston are also very old.

William & Mary and Rutgers are the ones I can remember.

>>A linebacker on the Rutgers University football team was accused Tuesday of involvement in a plot to murder two members of a friend's family, authorities said.

Izaia Bullock, 22, a junior at the university from Linden, faces two counts of first-degree attempted murder and two counts of first-degree conspiracy to commit murder.<<

If this team was on HBO I would call it unrealistic television.

Between this and the clusterf @MD, a great day for the Big10.

Literally sounds like a shot down plot line from the Sopranos

It is amazing the lengths that some people will go to avoid having to play for Rutgers.

 

[IthacaMatt]

They need to drop football and petition the big east to take them and their storied basketball program.

Excellent avatar! True LOL.

 

[SubbaBub]

I just want to play their schedule.
