The Scarlet Knights of Rutgers Raw Feed  

I had the honor of being posted on another blog, as Mountainlair, a great blog for West Virginia Mountaineer information. To read my brilliant insights...ok, at least to read my blather, please feel free to surf over to Mountainlair and take a gander. Thanks to John at Mountainair for giving m......

In Shawshank Redemption, Red talks about hope being a bad thing, and being locked in crappy football prison for so many years, I have been smushed by hope often. But that familiar refrain has a chance to be buried with a little magic this evening. Rutgers didn't kill anybody, and their only cri......

I'm like a homeless guy with a mental disorder wandering around, muttering the f-word to myself, but then remind myself that 10 wins isn't bad, two straight bowls aren't bad, and I wonder if I am becoming the fan I loathe. The fan who is never satisfied, and can't see the success through the dis......

No doubt, many Rtuegrs fans would rather be heading to Miami and drinking o.j., but I am enjoying the two year string of success nonetheless. While I believe a playoff makes sense, even a limited one, I must admit, that it would diminish the little bit of luster bowls such as the Texas Bowl hav......

WHEW!Take that Sha La La, and cue Bowser to sing, "Goodnight sweetheart, now it's time to go..." Keep your hands off our coach Mr. Dee and Company. How great is it that Miami, the former class of the Big East, who was going to ruin everything by leaving, couldn't entice someone from lowly littl......

There are two familiar refrains why head coaches leave their current jobs in most sports.Number one: They are at a small time program and they are looking for a bigger program and a bigger challenge. (For example, Urban Meyer, Bowling Green to Utah to Florida) This makes sense, of course, beca......

The defense finally has a face. All-American Eric Foster.Before we begin to sing his praises, it should be mentioned that just because they aren't media darlings that ESPN Gameday guys name with puppy love adoration doesn't mean these guys aren't good. If you've watched, listened or read any of ......

And it wasn't even that close. Announcers talking about calling off the dogs early in the 4th quarter...in a bowl game? Have you ever heard that kind of talk about Rutgers?Welcome to a place never visited before. We're talking footsteps on the moon, finding those blind fish that shouldn't be a......

Top 15, that's where we live. And I am waiting with great anticipation for Jan 6th when Anthony Davis maybe, just maybe, makes us even more legit by taking a block R from the bag and dons scarlet and not an oat, or whatever Ohio State thingee is. I know we are up against it because it is hard t......

If you look at the major programs in the country, most of them have a heavy flavor of in-state recruits. And then the marquee places sprinkle in a few blue chippers. But look at Ohio State's roster and you see this Ohio town and that Ohio town, and yes, even a New Jersey guy is in there to shor......

Uh, welcome back, I guess to me, and in theory, whoever else is blogging over to read my random and personal Rutgers football notes and thoughts.This article about Rutgers potentially going to the Big 10 is most likely speculation on a slow news day after all the dust has settled on Major League ......

There once was a day when I used to count victories before a season and hope we could scratch our way to .500 at the end of the day. Now I am dealing with learning to temper my expectations and trying to keep too many people from thinking this team is destined for a bowl, maybe an undefeated sea......

(With apologies to Norman Rockwell)Well, if you have been here before, welcome back to the fan's blog. And if you are new to this blog, welcome. A few disclaimers that may or may not need to be said. This isn't the sports section, this is the op-ed part of the Rutgers football scene. I love R......

My oh my, what would it be like to be an App State Mountaineer these days. I might suggest folding up the program now, having accomplished it all. What else is there? Go to the Swamp, or the Horseshoe, or ahem, The Chop House to try to take down the mighty Gators, Buckeyes, or, ahem, Scarlet Kn......
