Did you just compare Rutgers and lsu?

You do realize for the majority of Rutgers history we were in 1A but with the Athletic Department and resources of a Patriot League team.
Had Rutgers accepted a Big East invite when it was first offered, odds are things would be a lot different and Rutgers would have had more success.

In theory he's not wrong.
Louisiana is a talent rich state, and only had 1 major IA school in LSU.
Rutgers is the lone 1A program in NJ which is a very talent rich state.
What made Schiano so good at RU was he was able to keep the bulk of the top talent home, and then sprinkle in players from Florida.
If Rutgers gets the right coach that can keep kids home to play for RU they can be a very solid team along lines of Iowa or Wisconsin.
Yes, NJ as a state is comparable to Louisiana, LSU was shit until Saban because this talent left the state, if Rutgers can do what LSU did, they'll be good

I guess, but over 100 years of history there. At some point, you'd think some better decisions would have been made. We'll see if they can break out as a Big 10 team, though.

Well, time for the annual loss to Kansas State.
We had a historically awful AD in Gruninger, a former golf coach.
No no no, you just don't realize that ISU and OSU are national powers.

Look up Fred Gruninger. He was intent on keeping Rutgers athletic wise a small North Eastern college level much like a Lehigh or Hofstra.
Also if you know anything about NJ politics, they do the bare minimum in terms of funding the state university.
Well, we kinda beat Kansas last year.
We got fucked hard by the conference switch (the timing was awful monetarily), and we made an awful hire in AD (and it was the optics behind it, having it being coopted by 2 people who wanted to make it seem more progressive and thus giving the new ad zero credibility).
Problem is that we have historically awful qb play and zero wide receivers besides Harris and Grant (who got injured earlier this year).
Problem is LSU donors bought in, our donors haven't. Of course our president and ads haven't given us any reason to buy in as well.

Finally get a good seat in the stadium. Get surrounded by drunk frat bro Trump supporters. FML.
Well, for Curtis Samuel and Noah Brown, we were the bridesmaid for both of those players.

Would be really amazing to see the ND, UT, and LSU jobs all open up at once.

ECU decides to call some timeouts and UCF scores another TD.
47-29 UCF
What a turnaround. And our passing game today sucked.

Shouldn't be a fumble, but I don't know if they will overturn it.

It's a long story. Short version is that I have a casual interest in Illinois football now.

Why would you say something so vulgar on a public forum on the internet where anyone could read it?

Guys, I don't want to shock anyone but I have breaking news:
Florida still can't play offense.
