Great effort in the 1st quarter! Looks like Coach Flood has definitely gotten through to the team and they are playing at a very high level. I would have loved to see them play like this against Ohio State. Methinks it would have been a much different outcome. 5-5-7 gets bowl eligible and gives Flood a springboard to get the young team ready to rock next year.
RU wakes up and clobber Army
- Thread starter KingHigh
- Start date
Didn't realize mods were allowed to troll on here
Well, not-for-nothing, but it surely isn't the first time.
LOL at bowl eligibility for a 5-7 Rutgers team would have beaten 5 losing/bottom tier teams
Glad to see the Floodies start coming out [roll] ,
expect the anti- Floodies to start posting their objections :boxing:
When RU looks like it should win early in the game, I can try to have a little fun
during the game.

Nobody should ever be "happy" with an awful team being "rewarded" a bowl game at 5-7, but, to each his own I guess.
I'm hoping we go 5-7, play in a bowl anyway, and the answer to your question is "undefined" because we have a new head coach next season.
While winning even a low tier bowl game is a reason to be happy, bowl eligibility is even more important to give the kids an extra month of practice. Don't they need it?
Oh, hell yeah, they "need" it, doesn't mean I'm gonna be happy about a bowl game at 5-7. Sorry, I've always hated this, think it shouldn't be allowed and, to be honest, if a 5-7 team can get 2 extra weeks of practice, then ALL teams should get the same 2 weeks. It's pathetic IMHO (and we would have 5 wins with only 4 against FBS programs...).
Extra practice for what. I see no improvement from year to year with this added practice. Maybe if tbey practice the right way to play football
The extra practices really only help if a) you will have coaching continuity going into next year and b) you trust what your coach is coaching in those extra practices.
If people are thrilled that we can beat up on teams like Army and Norfolk State, what was the point of leaving the AAC? If this is the level of competition that we're supposed to get excited about beating, then let's go to back to the AAC and be done with it.
I really think if we played ohio state now we might beat them. I really do.
High level??? Would have loved to see them play like this against Ohio State? Flood coaching next year?
This is either the biggest troll ever, or just plain uninformed.
- Army is the 144th team in the nation. There's horrible, and then there's Army. They're ranked near the likes of Howard and Norfolk State.
- Army already has 244 yards of total offense in 1 half!!! They average only 331 yards per game all season. If it wasn't for a turnover, they'd probably be leading.
One of the requirements to being a mod is: must be a little crazy
Are you aware this qb for Army is making his first start? He's a freshman who appears to be way more talented. He hasn't made any mistakes and he's as good an athlete as most of our players. Of course their offense is going to be up today. For the guys here who get pissed about it regardless of whether we win or lose, might I suggest a different hobby?
I'm not thrilled thinking a 5-7 RU team will go bowling, but if the Seniors on the team are happy to go to a bowl game with that record, I shouldn't want to deprive them of that opportunity.
If it means so much to me that a 5-7 RU team shouldn't be in a bowl game, I'll just consider the season over after the Maryland game and ignore RU FB till bowl season is over.
Also think , now that 5-7 teams can play in a bowl game, every school's FB team should be allowed 2 -3 weeks of practice after their season is over .

I start a positive thread about a game which we are winning handily that you hijack with nonsense. I debunk the point you attempted to make in yours, and I'm the troll. Get outta here.
You do realize if we were in the AAC this year we would have been beaten badly by the top half of that league as well. No where to escape to for us.
I'll take a bowl game in the blink of an eye. We lost our top playmaker Carroo for half the season. I want to see this team healthy with a full (as possible) depth chart and a few extra weeks of practice in a bowl game.
