Please clean house.

We really have nothing going for us. I'd love to agree about cleaning house. Frankly we don't have the resources to buy out Flood and make a major hire. Without a proven name coming in to coach, would loose this recruiting class and probably the next. Once that happens, we essentially become Illinois. That being said, our O line can't block, our D can't tackle and our QB can't throw. I was at PSU the last time we played there. This team looks a lot like that one.

Rutgers can find money. The big donors just have to be realistic about the targets.

Maryland vs Rutgers is going to be an EPIC **** storm.

Maryland is in a much better position than Rutgers this year, but I think both teams will be looking for coaches when they meet in November. Tickets should be cheap, at least.

Here will be RU's short list for candidates:
Mr. Magoo. Instant credibility as a Rutgers alum
Greg Toal from Don Bosco Prep. The jump from high school to DI never blows up.
Sgt. Schultz. Wait, he's already on a three-game suspension
Norries Wilson. I like how he shoots from the hip.
Charlie Weis. Jersey guy.

I'm usually not a doom and gloom guy, but that game last night was horrible to watch. The offense showed less life than the 2010 squad. If Rutgers loses to Kansas next week at homecoming, they may not win another game for the rest of the season. I don't see the team rallying together from that point.

As bad as I think Maryland may do this year…still not sure they get rid of Edsall

As I said before, please clean house.

I never expected Rutgers to beat Ohio State this year or last, but getting embarrassed on national TV just gnaws away at me. Not sure why I even bother watching the games anymore.

But there's no money, so were stuck with another year of uninterested in-state recruits and blow out losses against any team with a pulse.

A waste of the ABC primetime slot.

I was hoping for a miracle, instead we got a Buckeye love fest.

well at least we might see a little bit more of Rettig the rest of the season but I doubt Flood will ever bench Laviano.

That throw from Rettig at the end was worth sitting there until the bitter end to see.

I would be shocked, *SHOCKED*, if Flood starts Rettig unless laviano is completely failing or Flood feels lke his job is on the line. Sadly I think there will be significant mopup duty for him over the next couple games.

I was shocked he even got in the game.

I can understand that thinking if Rutgers was still in the AAC. But, can't Rutgers use the Big Ten/BTN TV money to do this?

Rutgers doesn't start getting its full share of the B1G money until 2021. Until then, the Univ President is putting a lot of pressure on Athletics to reduce costs and the share of the Athletics budget that depends upon student fees. Rutgers remains a cheapskate for at least the next 5 years.

Good thing Barchi is gonna retire in 6 months.

Which is why it might be best to wait until he's out to hire a new coach and AD. Maybe the next president is equipped with the leadership skills to handle a large university instead of being narrowly focused on a medical school merger.

Ouch. I did not know that. That certainly limits the choices.
