RutgersAl will have the last laugh when we win the Natty next year and Gavin wins the Heisman!
Gavin Griffiths and Gavin Wimsatt have the same statistical chance of winning the Heisman to 10 decimal places. On the flip side Fieldhouse Al is the most mocked poster in the history of the internet.

More sweeping generalities and no substance. Don’t try to deflect the issue.

You’re the one asserting that Mike Houston can come to Rutgers and fix our offense. Yet his squad only scored 3 pts vs Michigan.

Mike Houston is in his 5th year at ECU, and they have less offensive talent than Rutgers. Schiano is in his 4th year and Rutgers is better offensively and defensively.

True we play in a better conference, but our infrastructure like Hale center is probably similar to ECU,, which is why we need a Fieldhouse.
Substance? I literally spelled it out you just chose to ignore it.

To compare the resources available to a P5 school to a mid major is absurdly laughable! It's pure delusion. Vince Lombardi could have been on the sidelines vs Michigan and ECU would have no shot.

Mike Houston took his team bowling and won a bowl game in year 4 in route to an 8 win season... let's see if Greg can do the same!

youre right.

but the reason is.....

just like a greasy pork roll sandwich, RutgersAl always seems to come-back-around to remind you that he's there.
Unlike you, Mr fairweather fan, I’m consistent and have stuck with Rutgers through thick and thin. Im always here. You stopped posting.

Cool story but none of it is true. Too bad you have to make up lies to disparage me. I wouldn’t spend similar effort on you.

you have been a "message board genius" at least once that I can remember (I am sure there have been many other instances).

btw, this is not a compliment. They are saying youre a friggin' clown.

he's not "making this up" or "lying".

fact is that others, off this board, have repeatedly ID'd you as an attention-seeking clown.

Oh so now Mike Houston needs resources to be successful. Well so do we, which is why we need a Fieldhouse and more NIL support.

At least this year we have a chance to go bowling in the toughest football division in America. This isn’t pee wee league.

He’s not talking about messageboard genius. He’s talking about me going on other boards and maliciously asserting that I am the court jester, which isn’t true.

Uhhhh, Mike Houston has already had success. No one is expecting him to beat Michigan. Kinda like no one is expecting Greg to beat Michigan...

What's ridiculous though is taking some kind of pride in an "I told you so" kind of way about a mid major losing to the #2 ranked team in the country. Here's the issue Al, while ECU only put up 3 points vs Michigan, that's 3 more Points than our Greg Schiano led team put up vs Minnesota and Maryland! But keep harping about Houston, reality is (and I'm happy we won don't get me wrong) but 24-7 vs Northwestern is Pathetic... that team is going to get blown out by 40+ on the regular this season. All greg did was just raise expectations with responses like your's that's he's now going to have to meet... now being you are the literal walking definition of insanity, I expect you to fall for the nonsense once again

The pro/con opinions posted about RutgersAl are getting really old. Same thing with porkroll vs Taylor Ham.
there's an ignore like whey you click on any TKR posters handle.
If some don't want to see what Al posts they can use it and poof, no more Al for them
But it seems whining about Al is the goal of some and they make the decision to read and react.

Don't blame Al, blame those who want to get attention by whining in threads Al started when all they had to do is walk on by or just hit ignore and no more seeing Al's messages.

You asserted that Mike Houston could come here and fix our offense. But just like Greg Schiano, Mike Houston is also constrained by the talent limitations he has onhand.

Rutgers will score plenty vs Maryland, don’t worry about that. Now that the offense is functional, we have a chance against everyone save OSU, PSU, and UM.

That’s why we need 2 more years to recruit the offensive talent needed to be Big Ten Elite.

Al,

We cannot have an intelligent conversation while you live under the delusion that the resources at a mid major are comparable to those at a P5 school….

‘Don’t worry about that’- here’s the reality. The offense wasn’t impressive. They managed to overmatch a completely depleted NW squad who honestly has no business even playing this year.

Until we actually beat someone who matters, the excuse making is simply that, excuse making

Posting is no measure of ones fandom.

Me “fair weather” - LOL - you truly don’t know me

You have this false narrative about me (I was calling for Schianos head in 2005 or some bill sh#t) - you insisted the same about someone else (who joined the board years later… LOL).

Others say you’re a good guy. Maybe you are on a personal level. But my experience is that your message board presence is an attention seeking clown ..:who lies

Rutgers offense was adequate.

No one said a mid majors resources are comparable to a Power 5’s resources.

The question is, does Mike Houston have the skillset to do a better job than Greg Schiano? I would assert No, because he’d never be able to recruit the talent that Greg Schiano is recruiting to Rutgers. Schiano has Rutgers recruiting down to a science.

It’s objective proof (not “lying”) that people beyond this board also find your behavior to be clownish

The national board doesn’t matter because everyone posting there is trolling anyways and 99% are redneck conservatives, so of course they disagree with me.
You do know redneck is a derogatory term don't you?
You appear to believe thay political affiliation affects knowledge and understanding of football?

It’s a fact that most of the national board posters voted for Trump by an overwhelming margin, are unvaccinated, and are from the South. Ironically there isn’t much football discussed on the national recruiting board.

A lot of posters here also voted for Trump. Just check the current events board. They also fit your description except the Southern part.

Al keep doing what you are doing. You have been here since 2001 and have 1/9 the posts of other posters yet they tell you to find a girlfriend LOL. You travel to watch Rutgers you donate to NIL. You are one of the few true die hards. The rest mostly are bored old men.

So far 3 pages prove Al is into the minds of some posters and they can't get enough of his insight .
Either that or they just can't stop getting triggered over everything Al says and must reply to their master's bait

I despise trump AND I think Al is an annoying clown.

So, seems Al’s bizarre “liberals love me/ conservatives hate me” theory is just another in a long line of nonsense from him

You have a point. Luckily I have him on ignore. But a response to one of his comments caught my eye so I engaged.

I gleefully have not seen anything from him in months.

I’ll put back in ignore-mode. But Al knows I’ll check back in a few months and remind him that he’s a clown

Get to know Al, you'll think differently.

Positivity is power.

As I said in another post - others have said he is a good guy personally. Maybe he is. I don’t know

But I find his online persona incredibly annoying

You say he’s “positive”. I don’t think that’s what it is. He’s just seeking attention- and that overly- positive thing is just the schtick he has chosen to get attention. It’s fake.

But what put it over the top was him making up some false narrative about me (and another poster) about being “fair weather” fans who were calling for schianos head in 1.0. Never happened. The other guy wasn’t even posting then. Yet Al kept spewing it. You say he’s a nice guy. Ok. Whatever. Not how I see it

you posted 6 times in this page alone, don't know how many , if any, times you posted in first two.
Seems that comment that caught your eye really got a hold of you.
If Al knows you'll be checking back in a couple months to talk to him, you might just be a follower of him whether you like him or not.

Clowns to the left, jokers to the right and everyone claiming to be stuck in the middle 😗

6 comments, make that 7, on one page. Yes

But As I said I won’t engage him again for months. I have gone years between engagements with him.

Ignore truly is a great feature

We absolutely have the same biggest issue when it comes to facing teams like Michigan. We don’t have enough talent. In the next two years, Rutgers will continue to close the talent gap, especially when you look at the ‘24 class.

your assertion that Mike Houston could come here and do better offensively is a joke since his offense mustered all of 3 points against Michigan. Last years Rutgers offense scored more than that, and our offense sucked last year. This years Rutgers offense should also do better.

This year has been Greg’s best coaching job yet. The team certainly looks bigger, stronger, faster, and more talented. If nothing else, it should be a fun year, a far cry from last year.
We controlled the clock without our top 2 backs playing as well.

Al doesn’t post enough to fit your attention starved description. He actually has a life outside of this board.
What? You must be new here. He has 37K posts just on this board. Never mind all the others. He has to post his crap since he gets free membership here. Drives clicks.

Guy with 350 posts (and who frankly I’ve never noticed previously) knows Al’s 20+ year posting behavior.

Doesn’t post a lot = 37k posts on this board alone

Oh, ok. Thanks for participating

True. But a lot of people don’t like attention starved narcissists either.

I dunno. When read this board I see a lot of attention starved narcissists.....some with over 100K posts, some continually negative and, many continually complaining and even some who continually denigrate other posters.

My theory is that people aren't comfortable and have a visceral reaction to over the top positivity....in Al's case "positive" trolling.
