Trouble in Ruttyland

[CL82]

UConn barley beat a 1-AA team. A mediocre one at that. No way UConn wins.

Oh I think you are underestimating RU's level of suck this year. Still it's a coin toss as to who'd win.

It came up a few weeks ago on the Stanford Steve/Fallica podcast. They asked Chris Andrews who runs some books in Vegas. He said Rutgers -2.

Oh to the contrary, Rutty is proving you can have money, but without success, all it gives you is better tissues to cry in.

Not really. They will not need to struggle to maintain their dept of athletics with the amount of money they are raking in. It seems to me that it has been and will be even more a struggle going forward for UConn in terms of finances.

Oh god dude, I am being humorous.

Wow and wow!

Was that at Rutgers or the Rent?

Why? Is either team better at home when no one is there to cheer them on anyway?

UConn may draw 763 at home but they are so bad on the road they cause permanent blindness.

At home they just lose by 6 touchdowns. On the road websites post 5k words on the historic beatdown they took.

Has anyone seen Rutgers play? Have they given up on Ash? I will say...UConn players appear to still be putting out an effort.

Massey composite of 106 rankings =

UConn #122 out of #130
Rutgers #124

College Football Ranking Composite

Rutgers probably has better athletes than UConn. A pillow fight worthy of popcorn and beer.

 

[Uconnalliance]

Imagine losing every game forever? That’s the road Rutty is headed down, at least we get 10k at our games imagine getting no one?

 

[TRest]

There's some whistling past our own graveyard here. Unless the P5 contracts they will always be in a better football spot then we are. We could easily see home crowds of 5k by the end of this season.

Is there really a fan that doesn’t know that here?

I just don't see this whole situation for UConn as humorous.

 

[uconndogs]

Rutgers is a perpetual basket case. Always has been and, appearantly, even with BiG affiliation, always will be.

It is stunning to see the ability to shoot themselves in the foot even after getting the golden ticket.

Absolutely

[Adios]

The Ivy League draws better than Rutgers. L O L.

Princeton is actually ranked right now.

 

[noeynox]

Rutty leads Northwestern in the 4th. They would slaughter us.

Whoops...

That’s how you use the BY Jinx. Well done.

Tough times for RutgersAl

 

[DarthGrumpy]

Rutgers' last 4 games (off next week) are at Wisconsin, home Michigan, home Penn St, at Michigan St. They are not expected to win any of those games and likely won't even be in any of them. What do they get for going 1-11 and 0-9 in the B1G? Guess, they will keep cashing those checks while the true football teams pick the heck out of the best talent.

I was an RU season ticket holder for a number of years. It started during Terry Shea's tenure and went through Schiano. I started going because the tickets were cheap as a young (grad) alum, they played good teams (not as good as current B1G) and some friends would tailgate. I wasn't a big fan, so I didn't really care when they were getting curb-stomped by everyone. I got into it more when Schiano turned them around, but I still never become fully vested. I stopped when I moved further north and my kids started youth sports so life didn't allow for tailgating and games that were an hour away without gameday traffic.

That being said, I don't think the school really cares. They got where they wanted to be for decades, and now they don't see an incentive in rocking the boat. I also know they alienated some long time fans with the post-Mike Rice firing of Pernetti. That guy is so polarizing. I know people that I trust who love him and loathe him.
