Rutgers Hate Week

[Durks07]

I'd hate them more if they mattered....

 

[WestHartHusk]

I hate them because they don't hate themselves.

How do you forget about that Helicopter...?

Just a question but why do so many opposing fanbases make a big deal out of the helicopter? It's an efficient way to get to a lot of schools to visit recruits/watch their games.

And costly!!! Especially when the athletic Dept is being subsidized and still not producing results. I don't think even ND has a helicopter and they have more money than the Vatican!

The athletic department doesn't pay for it.
"According to Schiano, the school gets use of the helicopter in exchange for advertising. Liberty signs are seen throughout Rutgers Stadium during football games."

So signage space that probably costs money to advertise on is bartered for use of the helicopter. Aint no free.

I hate the Birthcanal almost as much as i hate the ACC, BCU and the mouse with large black ears.

But then again I do like to hate a rival school and RU, thanks to their fanbase, are a rival so I enjoy the UConn/RU games. So upon reflection color my feelings towards RU a dark purple.

now my feelings towards the other three are sh#t brown.

Your recruits need training facilities and a trophy case.

THis entire thread has confused me all week, and now I read this? So confused.

I personally? I really like Birthcanal. Love it really. I can't get enough of it. Unfortunately, I've been married for a long time, and as much as I want it, only my wife knows when I'm getting it.

As for Rutgers? hate week? I can't remember a time when I didn't hate rutgers. It's not confined to a week. I hate Rutgers more than I hate Duke, because at least Duke, you know you were getting competition with a proven winner.

I think what bothers me most about Rutgers, is the name. Rutgers. THe big R. No mistake in doing that. Princeton, Cornell, Columbia, Yale, Rutgers. It fits - in Name. But it's all FAKE. What other state university in the union does that?

The University of New Jersey Scarlet Knights vs. University of Connecticut Huskies.

Saturday High Noon.

 

[Adios]

Rutgers is named after this man.

All in all, I think UConn football got to have some very unique rivalries or series throughout our history.

"Colonel Rutgers left nothing to the college upon his death."

Hmm....I suppose it was bad enough they took his name?

 

[RUNOVA15]

I know you guys are excited to go to the ACC and rightfully so, but i'll miss this matchup every year. Always a good game, it sucks the college football landscape went this route because I believe regional rivalries are extremely important. To have PSU, UConn/Syracuse and Rutgers in 3 separate conferences is a damn shame IMO.

I think regional rivalries will be maintained to some degree through OOC scheduling. And where the heck is Rutgers going?

 

[RUNOVA15]

Nowhere right now. PSU (B1G) Cuse/UConn (ACC) RU (Big East)

If RU runs the table this year, that can change. Good luck!

I agree. It makes little sense as fans. I bet CFB will return to regional rivalries in 50 or so years. This whole realignment thing is driven by money and the highs will come crashing down eventually.

8 10 team conferences by region winners playing in a playoff would be my ideal scenario.

RUNOVA must be the new mhver...breaking news uconn to acc!

 

[Ruknighttime]

want to give you guys some Jersey Style music for your Rutgers hate week..

 

[HobokenHusky]

Gotta feed them in over the week...

That is not free. Just a non-monetary exchange of assets. The price paid for the helicopter is whatever the fair value of the ad space is.

 

[junglehusky]

At least a couple of NJ politcos have proposed the name change to UNJ or SUNJ. Some of the students got very defensive about it. (at least when I was in grad school, the letterhead said "RUTGERS" and then in small font "the state university of New Jersey"). Maybe they could have built more support for a name change if it had been "BadaBing U."

Carl - you do realize calling RU the birthcanal (because we can't use the C word) is a play on "the birthplace of college football"

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I think 'the afterbirth of college football' would be more appropriate.

Well they got the colors right then...

Oh. Didn't know that. I just figured it meant Rutgers was a bunch of p*ssies. Oops.

Hey here is a good look at the Uconn defense for Saturday,.....

It must be convenient to have these videos for when you guys squeak out a victory.

When we beat you guys it's usually such a bloodbath that no one cares enough to save the evidence.
