And your argument about scheduling, it appears that RU is damned if they do, and damned if they don't
One thing is for sure - RU is living rent free in alot folks heads at this point. As many of you have said in the past - RU ain't worth anything. Except now it is probably one of the most talked about schools on this board - good or bad. Heck, if it weren't I wouldn't be posting, because I only post when you all bring it up.
Mission accomplished Mr Delaney........
Damned if you do, damned if you don't? Ok, post Rutgers big scheduling gets in the past decade out of conference... I'm thinking Arkansas, North Carolina, Maryland, Washington State, Kansas ? I'm going by memory but I can't remember any others. Which of those programs is ever a power? Which one is usually bad.
UConn scheduled Michigan, Notre Dame, Baylor, North Carolina, Maryland... without the power of the Big 10 to help. Syracuse has scheduled USC, LSU, Washington I think?... BC has had USC..
But rather than just making opinion-ed statements, let's look at these facts:
Syracuse won the Big East when the good teams were still in the Big East. Rutgers never won the Big East. Syracuse has already had some "upside". What about Rutgers?
Rutgers had all those years to get up to speed with everyone in the Big East in basketball with the same great recruiting area - I'm betting the best finish Rutgers ever had in the Big East was 4th but most were behind South Florida and ahead of Depaul. No NCAA tournament appearances?
Rutgers never dominated the Big East, even when it sucked at the end other than Louisville, WV and Cincy... how are they going to going to compete in a way better Big 10?
------------
Being waiting for those answers for a long time. None should contain the word "UConn" because they are an awful G5 football team and one of the best 5 basketball programs over the past decade - neither of those things relate to Rutgers.
Stop living in the past. When was the last time syracuse was good....And in Football, be honest - UCONN was never really that good. Their infamous BCS bowl at 8-4 put the nail in the Big East conferences coffin. Have they ever finished the season ranked?
And show me once where I ever said Rutgers was a powerhouse? I ain't that dumb. Our schedule reflects where we were (and still are) at the time - mediocre. And ain't no powerhouse going to give RU a 1 for 1 back in the day, and we had a stadium to pay for (and we weren't getting B1G money like you were). Heck, we told ND to pack salt when they wanted our game to be at METLIFE (but UCONN didn't, guess they're OK with their home games not being at home - same goes for Syracuse)
But that crack pipe still has you syracuse fans living as if Donavan McNabb was still your QB. You will never see that kind of player at SU again.
And to be honest, OSU's out of conference schedule is really full of powerhouses right? Just the past 5-6 years, Youngstown St, Ohio U, Troy, Toledo, New Mexico, St, Eastern Michigan, Akron, Marshall, Miami (not da U) UAB, and this year, bring on Hawaii, SDST, VTech? NIU? They maybe FBS, but they ain't that good either and I bet other than VTECH, Ohio State won't be visiting the ZIPs stadium for a return visit? Maybe you should schedule a top 5 FCS too like UCONN did.
How can you even say with a straight face that those are "power G5s"? Glass houses ya know.....
Try not to lay an egg tonite like you did last year against VTech .

Thanks for proving my point.
Talking to someone who likes UCONN about conference realignment is like giving yourself an enema. Only the enema feels better. Oy Vey.
This is pointless.
Adios and good luck tonite with Virginia Tech, like a said, don't lay an egg.

Why are we talking about UConn? Measuring Rutgers against UConn football currently is like measuring Rutgers against Tulsa or Tulane... a bad AAC program. Still the question remains... Rutgers does not have a track record of dominance in Big East football or any sort of success whatsoever in Big East basketball. How does being in the Big 10 turn that around?
