Steelers have one of the biggest bandwagons out there. They're like Notre Dame.

Bingo. This year we saw a pickup of bengal fans around here though.

I've heard both. If I'm traveling from point A to point B for the first time, I'll talk in miles. After I have traveled the path before, I'll measure that distance in time.

Is your alma mater one of the 55 schools being investigated for Title IX Sexual Assault violations:

Harvard is on there twice! C'mon Harvard get it together.
Oh Wazzu. I wonder if that includes Mike Leach abusing his players.

Nope. Thankfully neither is my employer.
Ha, we're not on there. Harvard of the South better than the real deal, bitch!
Nope! ECU is clean!

It kind of reads like satire but the 15 seconds I spent looking up the sources make it seem legit.

My alma mater, who doesn't play football at any level, is not on there. Duke -- no. Florida State -- yeah, that wasn't unexpected, now was it.

Did you know that the Shipley and McCoy families have been roommates for generations?!I'd love to be in the middle of this manwich
I'm not really surprised a certain Pac school showed up on this list, but it's pretty embarrassing how many other ones are here too. One of them was even acquired via expansion.

@Team_ColtMcCoy: Browns have officially signed Vince Young to a 1-year deal. Sets up a potential matchup between VY and Colt McCoy week 2 of preseason on MNFI'd love to be in the middle of this manwich
Not really that embarassing; look at the Ivy League.
It's true Case and Jaxon were conceived same time same place.
Literally adjacent uteri.
Browns are also looking at Aaron Murray a lot right now. Maybe Vince Young is their holdover for Murray's rookie year.
RutgersAl at it again.
This season is the opportunity of a LIFETIME!!! Yes the schedule is difficult, but I feel confident that this Rutgers team is up to the task. We're on the BIG STAGE now, and its our opportunity to SHINE!
1. Ralph Fridgen
Gives Rutgers the coaching firepower to go up against Urban Meyer and Company. Will be able to successfully attack vulnerable opposing defenses such as Ohio States, thanks to our superior talent and athleticism.
2. Gary Nova
The player that is going to most benefit from Ralph Fridgens tutelage is much maligned quarterback, Gary Nova. Nova has a resume that is the envy of every other Rutgers quarterback - a shared Big East Title, and a hand in three bowl attending seasons. He has also shown poise under pressure, pulling out a terrific victory against an SEC team in a difficult SEC environment and nearly outdueling expected future NFL quarterback Derek Carr.
There's no doubt that Gary Nova can play like the Best qb in the Big Ten. If he can show the ability to make better decisions, and avoid erratic play and mental mistakes, there is no doubt in my mind, that Gary Nova can lead this team to a conference championship, guaranteeing him the opportunity to realize his NFL aspirations. Very few Big Ten Quarterbacks have the rocket launcher that Gary Nova possesses on his right shoulder.
Thats why I'm betting ALL my chips on Gary Nova.
3. Best OL in the Big Ten
With two NFL locks manning the left side of the Rutgers offensive line, and an NFL possibility at Center, and two solid college football players on the right side, Rutgers is poised to have the BEST OL in the Big Ten. While our OL is on the Big Ten lighter side, they are fast, they are exceptionally strong, and they win battles with superior technique. The lardasses of other Big Ten OLs simply don't measure up.
I wanna also mention that I'm very EXCITED about our 2nd String OL, some of whom are good enough to start at places like Michigan and Penn State, but because they are at Rutgers, they have to wait. Miller, Denman, Brodie, Applefield, and Nelson will one day have their opportunity to SHINE.
4. Best DL in the Big Ten/Rutgers Sack Exchange
Darius Hamilton is poised to have an All American type year. He's 263 lbs of flesh, 500 lbs of heart, and has emerged as the leader of the Rutgers defense, and is quickly developing into the Best DL in America. He will be supported by a deep and talented supporting cast, with talent and depth at defensive end we've never had before.
5. Best LB Corp in the Big Ten
With two exceptionally productive All American Candidates on the outside (Steve Longa 100+ tackles in 2013, Quinton Gause 12 tackles vs ND), and a proven performer on the inside, Rutgers LB talent is HEAD and SHOULDERS better than any oppossing squad we will face.
6. Best WR in the Big Ten
Leonte Carroo had THREE game winning catches in the final minutes of last years games. If that doesn't show poise and performance under pressure, I don't know what does. The game winning catch against SMU was particularly difficult, because Nova squeezed the ball past three flailing defenders. What differentiates Carroo from others are his EXCEPTIONAL hands, and his Quickness, which allows him to get downfield FAST.
7. Best Tight End in the Big Ten
Tyler Kroft was Rutgers leading receiver and an SI All American Honorable Mention and first team all Conference in 2013. He reminds me of Jeremy Shockey with his grace and athleticism, but minus the attitude, which is a big plus.
8. Best Fullback in the Big Ten
I think we're going to see Coach Fridgen take better advantage of the skills and toughness of Burton, who is integral to our rushing attack and has a bright NFL future.
9. Best Running Back in the Big Ten
Keeping Paul James healthy is probably the biggest key to Rutgers Success this season. With a healthy James in the lineup, who averaged 4.8 ypc against Notre Dame, Rutgers can beat ANYONE. He showed the ability to dominate, when he led the nation in rushing the first couple weeks of the season. After he was lost against Arkansas, Rutgers offense wasn't as effective the rest of the season.
10. Solid Secondary
Nadir Barnwell and Cioffi are going to be exponentially better this season. They are playing with more confidence, which is going to allow Rutgers to play oppossing receivers tightly, as oppossed to giving them a large cushion. (see ND game) We know our safeties are vulnerable in coverage- they're run stuffers. But there's only one quarterback in the Big Ten who can take advantage of that- Hackenburg, who unfortunately doesn't have the surrounding talent to be successful against a team like Rutgers.
Conclusion
As I look over our roster, and at our schedule, I can't help but think that there's NO reason why Rutgers can't put the Big Ten Title Trophy in our Trophy Case at the end of the season. This is the most talent and depth we've EVER had. Im not sure it can get much better than this at Rutgers. Experienced and talented oline, experienced and talented dline, exceptionally talented lbers, solid secondary, a senior qb, an rb capable of breaking 1500 yards, an All American Candidate Tight End, Wide Receiver and fullback. Everything is in place to be successful. Now its all about Execution.

that guys going to be sad when Rutgers is limping down the stretch with a 2-5 record in the B1G
He's our board nutcase, and yeah 2-5 is very likely with this schedule.
I've been doing this for years now, last year he had us as the number 4 team in the country. This is actually one of his "tamer" ones.
For me personally, I just want to beat the hell out of PSU this year. Anything else is icing on the cake.
