Finally switching affiliation!

[Njcanesfan]

After being a lifelong Kentucky fan, I'm finally letting it go and accepting that I am an RU Hoops fan first! So today, I am now one of you!!!! #go knights!

Welcome to club!!

 

[ecojew]

Welcome to the fold. RU is now your favorite college basketball team but you can still root for Kentucky. They can be your favorite NBA farm team, LOL. It's hard to look at them as a college team any longer since most of their wins are won by one-and-done players.

 

[Njcanesfan]

It's actually been harder rooting for them lately because of Cal. I'm not against the one and done thing, but u can tell, the continuous lack of experience is hard on the die hard fan. You're always waiting for the Freshman mistake in the last two minutes of the game. I've actually been an RU fan since 97 as a football recruit, but claimed UK as number 1. Now I'm all in. #JERSEY

Welcome to the dark side!

If Pikiell does what I think he's gonna do this year there will be games at the RAC that will make you never look back.

Now you can contribute to the BIG build fund (if you haven't already) ....

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Just another member of the Rutgers Basketball bandwagon!

Actually tried to, was kinda confused on one part.... but I do plan to re-attack in about a month.

Now you must disavow the Hurricanes and join us on the gridiron.

Ha ha ha. That's a tough one. I was just telling my wife that I might have to go full RU. Football is my last sport that is not completely RU. LOL. But now that I live in the south I'm one step closer to being a season ticket holder for either the phins or the U. I'm torn. But, I actually follow RU FB just as much, nowadays. I retire from the Air Force in two years with the intentions of settling in east Tampa. No plans on moving back to jersey though as much as I love my home state.

Welcome aboard. Prepare to age much more rapidly.

Nothing's gonna change. I've been taking RU losses as if it was my favorite team since 01! I'm basically coming out of the closet. Lol

Kentucky basketball, Rutgers basketball--it's all the same

Have fun and hope you know what you're in for.
Kentucky fans usually feel like this when hearing about a recruit's commit:

Rutgers MBB fans feel more like this after a recruit announces :

But soon it will be like this:

 

[Njcanesfan]

Hahahahaa. I've been feeling RUTGERS recruiting losses ever since I signed up for rivals. Ha ha ha. Believe or not, though I never post it, I am one of the few pessimistic, yet hopeful RU fans. One of the ones always expecting NO but hoping for yes. Lol.

If you are switching from Kentucky to Rutgers because you find their play at the end of games frustrating you are gonna have a bad time.

Haha. I have officially seen it all.

If you ever make it up here for a game I have a ticket with your name on it. Thank you for your service!

Thanks Knight, I appreciate it. The last game I was up for was the big upset over Florida. Took my little brother.

 

[SirScarlet]

Welcome aboard... you are picking a great time to join the fan club. The Rutgers basketball rocket ship is just warming up

 

[Cookie81]

My wife is from Kentucky so that will not fully happen in our house. With RU, at least, you get a discount on anti-depressants. I do think things are looking up. Especially, with the team height.

Let me guess...Kentucky, Yankees, Miami, Packers?

Used to be Kentucky (now Rutgers), Phillies, Miami, Dolphins, Knicks. All other college sports are RU.
Picked all of my teams when I was 12 (92) Kentucky was always on TV, and I liked the fact that they pressed, and wore blue and white (like my hometown burlington city). Phillies just because I didn't have any local teams. I hated the fact that Jersyans rooted for Philly and NY teams as "ours". Canes, same thing, they were always on TV, and I wore number 5 like the great return man Kevin Williams for the U. Dolphins... Dan Marino and the Marks Brothers! Knicks.. Big Pat was and is my all time favorite player. I started following RU in 97 after being recruited for football, and over time all other RU sports grew on me, and obviously because it's our state U!

Thanks for joining / providing positive Karma for Rutgers.

Hopefully you'll cause a RUPPture in our fate....and we'll be dancing in March!

I feel good juju this year. I like the upgrades to the roster. But again, other than last year I'm always optimistic until we are mathematically eliminated from the NCAA/NIT.

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

Why Kentucky? Are you from there ?Just like winners wearing blue?I grew up 5 minutes from HPSS and the RAC and graduated from the Univ. Of Florida but never wavered from my scarlet masochism.Nice to have you on board..
