Rutgers at it again

[pj]

I personally don't mind off-color jokes. I don't think Penn State should either.

Should someone check the water in Piscataway?

Ever see the water in Piscataway?

It's chewy.

New article out about Rutgers AD making an off-color Sandusky joke at a meeting...http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2014/09...ade-off-color-sandusky-joke-in-staff-meeting/

Rutgers - The Rodney Dangerfield of the B1G.

This is the most non-story to ever tried to be made into a story. And that's saying a lot for Rutgers.

A joke made a year ago is now all of a sudden a huge earth shattering deal.

Well, people want her fired and I know who wants her fired and while it'll work out great for us who the new AD will be I'm not a fan of the sacrificial lamb thing going on here.

Ever get tired of trying to explain away gross incompetence?

If you did, perhaps your school would stop swallowing its nuts on and off the field every time they get the chance.

 

[JayRU09]

Oh my god, she told a joke........in private.............a year ago............

No one in the UCONN administration has ever made jokes. EVER.

 

[pj]

It wasn't even a bad joke.

 

[Fishy]

Oh my god, she told a joke...in private...a year ago..

No one in the UCONN administration has ever made jokes. EVER.

In your zeal for mindlessly defending her or just out of pure simple-mindedness, you're missing the story.

She told an off-color joke about child abuse in a staff meeting.

That's bad enough, but all right.

The story is that a half-dozen Rutgers' athletic department employees had no problem telling the media about it.

That doesn't happen at UConn or Syracuse or Boston College or Pittsburgh or Penn State or Notre Dame or (insert every other university here)...that's called mutiny.

"I know there were two or three of us that looked at each other, and I said, ‘You gotta be kidding going down that road.."

They don't respect her. But you think it's about an off-color joke.

I already hinted to that dude, keep up you're slacking.

Ahhh ... the difference is you are not in a position of authority nor a major representative of a University. YOU need to be ultra-squeaky clean in your presentation ALL times when you are in that role. And, I think most all the people that fulfill those responsibilities understand that. This chick Hermann continuously shows that she hasn't a clue how thin the strand of string that keeps her in that job. Governor Christie COULD be the one to target her soon.

Maybe Penn St isn't exactly what you were going for when giving examples of university employees keeping things hushed and in-house?

It's not often that I'm dazzled by stupidity.

Well done.

Julie Hermann would have been fine making that joke at an auto body shop in Perth Amboy. Our friend Jay will disagree, but I would think that being the leader of RU's athletic department should carry slightly higher standards of collegiality (with conference partners), general common sense, and, oh I don't know, decency. Anyway, the timing of this leak is more telling than anything else.

 

[WestHartHusk]

I am primarily offended by what passes as a joke in New Brunswick. No originality at all.

 

[UConn990411]

It's really remarkable how, rather than demanding competence, Rutgers fans continue to blindly defend the morons employed by their athletic department ... especially when the most recent AD was hired more for PR than for ability. It's probably not a coincidence that such incompetence spills over to the field on an annual basis.

Instead of spewing a drivel on a UConn message board, you'd be better off demanding that your state stops paying six- and seven-figure salaries to these buffoons.

 

[TRest]

"In private" is a staff meeting full of state employees. OK.

The most surprising aspect of the story is Tom Luicci now working as a shill for dear Old Rutgers. That must have gone over well in Rutgers Rivals land.

 

[minidarren]

Act as if you are always on stage...

Words she may want to live by.

LOL at Rutgers out Rutgersing itself yet again. I love Julie. I hope she and Flood stay in place for the next decade. I love how some of their fans actually believe that they are oh so close to hitting the big time in various sports despite nothing ever happening to corroborate this line of thinking.

History has shown us time and again that they will **** the bed whenever the opportunity to go to the next level presents itself. Saturday was their best opportunity to beat PSU for the foreseeable future. PSU lacked depth at key positions and started an offensive line w/4 new starters. Their fans had been dreaming about a day like last Saturday for a LONG time. Finally they would have an opportunity to humble evil PSU in front of their legion of fans, all with a number of great NJ Recruits on hand. The game being in prime time on national television was icing on the cake.

Instead PSU got 5 picks on Nova, won the game in dramatic come from behind fashion, and secured a commitment from a 4 * NJ Prospect who had stood on their sideline for the game the very next day. Despite the nonsense that their fans extol, the gap between the two schools is not getting any smaller. If recruiting rankings are to be believed, when PSU returns to Piscataway in 2016 that gap will be wider than The Raritan.

They can make all the hateful and disgusting posters they wish. They can display them in full view of children(including their own), and they can do whatever petty thing they wish to make them feel better about themselves. Truth is they are in The B1G for 1 reason and 1 reason only. Congrats in having the foresight to found a college w/in spitting distance of NYC. It has gotten you far more than you have earned.

Great game tonight guys!

The thing is- UConn can fix the football team in the next few years. You'll still be Rutgers.

I've noticed that they'd rather not address that particular aspect of things.
