Philadelphia Inquirer doesn't report a word about Ashnault/Suriano

[jerzeyguy]

Why wouldn't you support the team that represents your home? Who cares where they use to be. But of course it doesn't register with you. You might have an inferior new jersey mindset -- so you latch on to other places to feel worthy. Nobody else does expect new jersey

So you want people to be loyal to a team simply based on where they live?
You do know that the Nets were a Long Island team before NJ and now are in Brooklyn??? Probably not based on your responses.

New Jersey basically only consists of the Northern half Jersey when it comes to sports and that is from a south Jersey resident. South Jersey is basically an eastern wing of Pennsylvania.

And why are south jersey people ok with that? Are they?
I really do notice more jersey pride from central on up... what’s the deal ?

The New Jersey Nets bailed on New Jersey so why should I support them?? When they were in NY on LI why should any NJ resident have rooted for them when the Knicks are closer??
I'm a Rutgers fan, a Yankee fan, a Devils Fan and a Cowboy fan. I live in PA now. Your arguement is as dumb as the people around here telling me I should switch who I root for because I now live in PA.

I was talking about when they were here. They left because people from Jersey rather support other states team's. Atleast you got appreciation for RU, devils and Cowboys. Dallas is Americas team - so that automatically counts as the home team.

Doesn't matter about the out of state newspapers. We have NINE MILLION people in New Jersey and we just need our own papers covering Rutgers sports on a consistent basis--Atlantic City Press,Courier Post in Camden County,Asbury Park Press,the Vineland and Cape May papers,the New Jersey Herald in Sussex County,Bergen Record,Morris County Daily Record,Jersey Journal,etc.And yes,even the Newark Star-Liar.--We also need the little TV access that we have--News 12,Fios, and New Jersey Public TV to get on board. And the FCC should do their job and strip the current owners at Channel 9 of the license like they should have done decades ago.

Don't worry about the Philly Inquirer's coverage,EVERY wrestler in South Jersey knows that TWO wrestlers from Rutgers won National Championships!

THIS! Wrestlers and true wrestling fans KNOW, believe me.

Go R Twooooooooo! :boxing:

A lot of South Jersey is part of the Philadelphia metropolitan area. An awful lot of people commute from N.J. across the Delaware. The TV stations, most of the radio stations, and the highest circulation newspapers are in Philly. And the rest of New Jersey seems condescending, to say the least, to South Jersey. So what do you expect?

Its true. North/Central Jersey folks treat South Jersey residents like second class citizens. So of course they latch onto Philly/PA.

The people of southern NJ should be watching New Jersey news not PA news.

The people of Northern and Central NJ should be watching New Jersey News not NY news.

We are the 8th largest economy in the US and we do not have our own network affiliates. This is a disgrace.

As Governor it is one of the first things I would address.

New York and Pennsylvania should not be allowed to control our airwaves but they do.

Based on the apathy on this board we will all be dead before this changes.

What is news 12nj? They seem to be the closest thing to what we’re talking about

Atleast your friend has some kinda PA in their blood. Im talking much worse. People from SJ - who have never been a resident of PA.. But love penn st, love temple. Not even alums of the school- but got pride in em. Mention Rutgers and they look lost. South Jersey was more excited about temple football winning, then they were rutgers. And they hate when New Jersey teams - like the devils, and previously the nets were good. They love Pennsylvania

How do you know all this about everybody who lives in South Jersey?

 

[jerzeyguy]

Because I've lived in SJ my whole life and interact with people everywhere I go. Work, Bars, gym, barbershop, church, basketball courts, uber rides, n everywhere else. And I kno alot of ppl n read what people are posting on social media. And when I have this convo with people, about them not being from PA -- they always have the "Deer in the headlights" look.

Solid answer, thanks.

The sports editor of the Inquirer, Gary Potosky, is a good friend of mine. We graduated together (LC'87). Trust me when I say he would like to run a Rutgers story on every page of the sports section. Unfortunately, what he wants to do and what he is able to do are two completely different things.

@PiscatawayMike, next time you speak with Gary ask him about a not-so-memorable trip to Crappy Valley with T-Mac, Dorab and a guy named Murphy. Nightmare of all nightmare trips.

I'm VERY familiar with the story. [laughing]

I, along with my friends, Matt and Skip, arrived in Crappy Valley late on Friday night before the game. We had nowhere to sleep so we crashed your hotel room. I think there were 7 or 8 guys sleeping in that room that night.

Oh man! It was all a blur to me. I spoke to my buddy Mackin last night and he reminded me that Dick Anderson knocked on our door and told us to keep the noise level down since they had a big game the next day! I had totally forgot about that incident.

Aside from the pasting PSU gave us the next day, watching the RU team buses pass us by while on the shoulder of the road trying to figure out the problem with Gary's car (shredded treads on the tire that exposed the steel belts), was just icing on the cake during that nightmare trip.

Indeed, it was all-around nightmare trip. Matt, Skip and I averted a disaster on our drive back home. Near the Delaware Water Gap, a deer hopped over the concrete divider. I swerved to get out of the way so I wouldn't hit the deer, but the deer ran head first into my back left tire. Fortunately, there wasn't much damage just an indented hubcap (back when cars had hubcaps!) and a few minor scratches. The deer was dazed momentarily but shook it off, and then continued on its way.

This just in. Congrats to my long-time friend and fellow Rutgers grad!
