Rutgers @ USF

[SelmaBamaFan]

Anyone else kinda watching?

[SelmaBamaFan]

Guess not :D

[royalfan5]

I am, a little.

[SelmaBamaFan]

Im watching it more and more as the game goes on. It might turn in to a fun game to watch.


Oh SNAP! USF takes the lead! :D

[Cam]

I am a little. Not a bad game really.

[SelmaBamaFan]

I'm pulling for Rutgers btw.


Although I do hope USF beats the crap out of Louisville again this year :D

[sooneron]

I'm watching whilst re-boarding the train to drunkytown. Good game. I like USF's qb. I am pulling for Rutgers as I took them in yahoo pick'em. That's the only reason, tho.

[birddog]

anyone know why the university of new jersey is called rutgers? i don't.

[Sooner Eclipse]

Because everyone would be too embarrassed to admit they graduated from the University of New Jersey?:O

Eh, Rutgers sounds so much more Ivy League I guess.

[putastar]

In 1825, the name of the college was changed to honor a former trustee and Revolutionary War veteran, Colonel Henry Rutgers

from: http://ruweb.rutgers.edu/aboutru/inbrief.shtml

[birddog]

so it was unj before 1825?

[birddog]

no, started as queens college in 1766. now that's old school.

[putastar]

so it was unj before 1825?

Queens college....

never mind.... beat me to it birddog

[birddog]

this is a pretty decent game. leonard is a moose out there.

[putastar]

Rutgers.... overrated.... beat a UNC team led by former Husker Joe Dailey and Illinois led by former Florida reject Ron Zook

[101sooner]

This game is kind of odd. I thought that Rutgers was ready to compete big-time.


Maybe I underestimated USF, but I still think that Rutgers could compete for the the Big XII North championship.

[putastar]

Kansas beat USF... by that logic, if they're able to hang on... nevermind... you're probably right.... Colorado might give them a game though:texan:

He said compete for the BIG XII North, not dominate the division.


As for USF, they are hard to read. They can come out and embarrass a good Louisville team and then lose against the worst team in college football.

I still like Rutgers though. They dont have world class talent, but they are coached so damn well. I'll take a well coached team any day.

[birddog]

schiano might be headin to miami.

[King Crimson]

as I took them in yahoo pick'em. That's the only reason, tho.

how'd you do that?

[King Crimson]

for scarlet knights, the Rutgers red is awfully "Red".

too much to drink.... Rutgers is a fun team to watch.... Watched them hang w/ ASU last year @ the Insight.Com bowl (should have won)... They are definately well coached.

[birddog]

i got 'em too. i didn't realize friday games were an option seeing how the deadline is sat. at 9:05 am.

[birddog]

oskie!!!

[SelmaBamaFan]

too much to drink.... Rutgers is a fun team to watch.... Watched them hang w/ ASU last year @ the Insight.Com bowl (should have won)... They are definately well coached.


That's why its going to be scary as hell when that coach is at Miami.

[sooneron]

Yep, time to cover!!

[sooneron]

This game got boring as hell in the second half.

[sooneron]

Nice run.

[SelmaBamaFan]

ron is getting more drunkietown as the game goes along.


Nice play by play though!!!

[birddog]

i'm beginning to believe that any game within a touchdown in the 4th can rarely be boring. beats 42-3.
but yeah, there aren't too many big plays.

[birddog]

who's your qb now sbf? did you all drop off so much because of the losses on defense?

[King Crimson]

the Starter commercial with that trombone song the horns play (texas bites) just made me puke.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

I still like Rutgers though. They dont have world class talent, but they are coached so damn well. I'll take a well coached team any day.

not that it means much, but they've landed some guys the last several years that have 5 *'s by their name...

[SelmaBamaFan]

Our QB is John Parker Wilson. We dropped off because we play the same boring, conservative style of football... just this past week our FG kicker missed the big kick... 4 times.

Our new QB is the only bright spot on our offense that cant run the ball for ****. He'll be better than Croyle before he's a SR.

[sooneron]

THAT was a bad spot.

[birddog]

in rutgers case, it does mean much. these guys aren't jokers anymore.

[yermom]

that spelling bee commercial was not cool

[birddog]

that sucks. maybe you all get schiano.

[SelmaBamaFan]

not that it means much, but they've landed some guys the last several years that have 5 *'s by their name...


I wasnt aware of that jkm, thanks for that heads up. I guess that's just another testiment to their coach eh? If he goes to Miami they are going to be sick in a few years.

[sooneron]

Ok, now he has the first down.

[sooneron]

Wow

[SelmaBamaFan]

that sucks. maybe you all get schiano.


I do believe (hearsay) that he is a Miami boy. Either coached or went to school there, not sure.

I'd love to have him though. He is a good coach that doesnt rely on a gimmick offense or defense. He is old school in a new school sort of way.

[yermom]

i love it when they go for 2

[King Crimson]

i thought Schiano had some connection to Penn St. buddy of mine who is a PSU guy....was hoping. but, i don't think the time table is happening for him replacing Uncle Joe.

[sooneron]

Crap

[birddog]

he's a jersey-born guy that went to bucknell. he was d coordinator at miami from 99-00 before getting the job at rutgers.

[sooneron]

Word up here is that Schiano will jump at the U job.

[birddog]

also he was d-backs coach at psu from 90-95.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

I wasnt aware of that jkm, thanks for that heads up. I guess that's just another testiment to their coach eh? If he goes to Miami they are going to be sick in a few years.

wow, its been a long time since i've really followed recruiting, they got those guys in 2003...

[sooneron]

Did they just say that cuse and pitt are traditional powers?

[SelmaBamaFan]

Probably said 'Traditional Big East Powers'.


That'd make more sense since you know... The Big East isnt really a power as a conference.

[sooneron]

Probably said 'Traditional Big East Powers'.


That'd make more sense since you know... The Big East isnt really a power as a conference.
Since when? um, vatech and bc left. When were those teams powers before that or after?

[King Crimson]

Did they just say that cuse and pitt are traditional powers?

last year's Syracuse was one of the worst D-1 teams of all time. but, Cuse and Pitt are "traditional powers" in the east coast media.

Billy Sims barely beat out the great Chuck Fusina for the Heisman.

[SelmaBamaFan]

Since when? um, vatech and bc left. When were those teams powers before that or after?


Pitt was pretty good back in the 80s.

Same for cuse I believe.

[birddog]

boy, you certainly can talk alot of trash.:D
maybe you should stump the schwab.

[sooneron]

Pitt was pretty good back in the 80s.

Same for cuse I believe.
You said it right there- pretty good.

[birddog]

pitt-dorsett, and marino.
cuse-mcnabb, and i guess that fusina guy.

[sooneron]

Cuse can only claim Jim Brown.

Come on U of NJ!!!!

[SelmaBamaFan]

You said it right there- pretty good.


Thought Pitt won a NC back in 81 or so?

[birddog]

they have 5 nc's.

[sooneron]

Thought Pitt won a NC back in 81 or so?
Hmm, Marino days?

The "National Championship Foundation" gave them one in 81 along with texas AND smu

[StoopTroup]

Who's winning?

[King Crimson]

pitt-dorsett, and marino.
cuse-mcnabb, and i guess that fusina guy.

fusina played for Penn St, actually. i was kind of freebasing there for a minute.

i can't wish enough bad football on Greg Robinson since while i am NOT a bronco fan his terrible defenses are a lost memory to most Donkey fans. only Pat Bolen's checkbook, fan myopia, and Shanahan's 21 point leads in the first quarter kept that guys job in the late 90's. when you are up 21 an blitz off the corner you look like a genius.

[sooneron]

It's GOOD!!!!

[SelmaBamaFan]

Wow their FG kicker made a FG.


I always wondered what that was like...

[yermom]

wow, what a kick

[SelmaBamaFan]

Who's winning?


Rutgers 22
USF 14

[sooneron]

Rutgers up by 8!!! 22-14

[sooneron]

Wow their FG kicker made a FG.


I always wondered what that was like...
heh



sadly, heh

[birddog]

i wish we could kick a 53 yarder. or a 44 yarder. i won't get anyone started. my apologies.

[sooneron]

I haven't felt this confident in an OU kicker in a while.

[SelmaBamaFan]

i wish we could kick a 53 yarder. or a 44 yarder. i won't get anyone started. my apologies.


Hell, I wish we could kick an EXTRA POINT!!! :mad:

[sooneron]

Gilmour is an idiot. Getting the ball inside the 45 and settling for a 53 yarder is NOT finishing games.

[birddog]

is that the same guy who made the fg against tech?

[sooneron]

Who shoved the rabbit's foot up Schiano's ***?

[SelmaBamaFan]

is that the same guy who made the fg against tech?


Nope, pulled hammy. We hope he can return this week.


He was doing the kick off duties last week, but had ZERO practice for 11 on 11 FG duties. The coaches thought he was just as big of a risk as our freshman kicker because of the lack of practice on the snap-hold-kick timing.

[Cam]

I haven't felt this confident in an OU kicker in a while.
Hasn't he only missed once this year?

[birddog]

i wasn't putting the blame on hartley. just wish we hit the 44 yarder.

[sooneron]

Hasn't he only missed once this year?
Yep

[sooneron]

i wasn't putting the blame on hartley. just wish we hit the 44 yarder.
<Maybe you should say that you wish we had a better long snapper or guard?

[birddog]

still a chance for usf. 22-14 with 2:30 left.

[King Crimson]

that looked like it was going to be blocked before the snap. much like....

[sooneron]

That's odd, time didn't come off the clock on that play.

[SelmaBamaFan]

Yet another blocked FG, from the edge no doubt.


I think if i was a coach, I'd start running more fakes to attack the edge of the defense. Teams these days are selling out WAY too much to block kicks.

[birddog]

whatever the cause was (i didn't see it), just wish we made it. that's all.

[King Crimson]

are the announcers gonna figure out whether it's pronounced "groth" or "grothey" before the game ends.

[sooneron]

I do agree, bad play call.

[birddog]

1st down? these announcers suck.

[sooneron]

These guys in the booth are retarded.

[sooneron]

CRAP!!

[yermom]

wow, this is getting sloppy now...

[birddog]

spread's -5?

[King Crimson]

gotta be holding

[birddog]

oooh. that's tough.

[sooneron]

4, I think

[putastar]

These guys in the booth are retarded.

that's why they work on Friday nights

[birddog]

nice grab.

[sooneron]

DOUBLE CRAP!!!

[yermom]

how big is that missed 2pt conversion now? :O

[birddog]

they aren't gettin the 2.

[putastar]

nice nose pick by USF coach

[King Crimson]

home dogs....betters....

[birddog]

so we're screwed.

[sooneron]

they aren't gettin the 2.
Yeah, but that doesn't help. I'd rather they get it and lose by 6 in OT.

[birddog]

nice nose pick by USF coach
they might overturn that.

[Cam]

Rutgers is gonna kill my Vcash account. They are not a top 25 team.

[birddog]

that's why we're screwed.

[Sooner Eclipse]

Yeah, but that doesn't help. I'd rather they get it and lose by 6 in OT.

same here, only way to get the pick'em now

[sooneron]

TRIPLE CRAP!!!

[King Crimson]

gotta catch that ball....

[sooneron]

THROW A FLAG!!!!!

[putastar]

If USF played Baylor.... I'd be confused... I don't see too good

[Cam]

Maybe Rutgers returns the on-side kick for a TD here...

[King Crimson]

"has to get ten yards.....if you are South Florida...."

hahahahhahahahaaaa

[birddog]

Maybe Rutgers returns the on-side kick for a TD here...
so, you're tellin me there's a chance?...

[putastar]

Maybe Rutgers recovers the on-side kick ...

sorry....fixed.... just in a realistic mood tonight

[Sooner Eclipse]

"has to get ten yards.....if you are South Florida...."

hahahahhahahahaaaa

dont tell the audience, tell the F'n refs. Apparently that's discretionary:mad:

[birddog]

uh oh. they're gonna rub our noses in it.

[sooneron]

The boys back in Jersey with names that end in a vowel are not going to be happy with Shiano's spread coverage.

Oh god, here we go again.

[Sooner Eclipse]

:rolleyes: now they get it right.:rolleyes:

[birddog]

same gd thing.

[birddog]

it's not close.

[putastar]

the mob has their money on USF

[Cam]

Pretty easy call, again.

[101sooner]

wow

[birddog]

i'm gonna go pick a fight.:mad:

[yermom]

wow

the Big Least can figure it out...

[Cam]

I shouldn't have drank the Rutgers kool-aide. :(

[Desert Sapper]

That's because the Big Least has legitimate refs that aren't taking a 'special paycheck' from the home team. Glad somebody can make that call.

[Sooner_Havok]

I just threw up in my mouth a little

[birddog]

i just sharted.

[Mongo]

score update please

[King Crimson]

what is the deal with Steven "A". Smith's groucho marx eyebrows.

the guy is such a tool

[birddog]

22-20 rutgers. G.O.

[putastar]

what is the deal with Steven "A". Smith's groucho marx eyebrows.

the guy is such a tool

since when does he talk about the NFL?.... I thought he was the NBA guru with Bill "throw it down big man" Walton

[Sooner98]

I really wish the game hadn't ended that way. I am now almost as disgusted as I was after the Oregon game. :mad: :mad: :mad:

[putastar]

I really wish the game hadn't ended that way. I am now almost as disgusted as I was after the Oregon game. :mad: :mad: :mad:

you'll hopefully forget about that game by tomorrow morning

[Fraggle145]

does anyone have the footage of the onside kick from this game?
