Russo to Temple
- Thread starter RUforlife
- Start date
W-e-e-e-e-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l, I don't think they'll be visiting us any time soon.
I don't agree with this. I feel pretty confident in Frank Nutile and Montel Aaron if he keeps his commitment.
Yes, losing Friend sucks, but McGowan started when he was injured to get prepared for major reps. Lofton and Ahmed are completely replaceable. Leon Johnson started 7 games this year, and is a big upgrade over both Lofton and Ahmed. Had Johnson not been injured, he's probably starting the entire year (he's a JR next year). Between James McHale, Aaron Ruff, Jovahn Fair, Semaj Reed, and Jaelin Robinson (assuming Darian Bryant isn't ready to start as a true freshman, or we don't find a JUCO or 5th year OT), I'm pretty confident we can find one good starting OT.
None of our WRs are probably as dynamic as Anderson, but he had his lapses for sure. I think we have two special talents in Ventell Bryant (39 for 579 and 3 TDs) and hybrid WR/TE Kip Patton (13 for 169, 4 rushes for 41 and 2 TDs). Cortrelle Simpson redshirted his true freshman season and has game changing speed. He ran a 4.33 at Ohio State. We will see if any of them can take over a game.
Maybe they can beat Toledo next season in the rematch of the irrelevant bowl
Can't really brag about making a bowl when ya lost ... to Toledo ... by two
TDs.
But ya did play very well (i.e. still lost) v Notre Dame, so definitely keep beating your chest.

...and you'll still be playing in front of a lot 55-60,000 empty seats, most (home) games, DESPITE your good season.
Outside of the obvious respect for him being a D1A athlete, I never found Nutile impressive. He seemed like a scaled-down version of Nova without the arm strength. I still think you're underestimating the difficulty with replacing multi-year starters. Matakevich called your D on the field. Your offense without Anderson looked like ours without Carroo. I think the attention Anderson got freed up your TE moreso than when he wasn't there.
...as with everything, time will tell all.

still love it.......... The only one faster than Tim Brown on that play was Sanuuuuuuuuuuu
In 2012 we had over 50k in the stadium for a game against a 1AA squad (Howard) with USC playing at the Meadowlands the same day (and we outdrew then by 5 figures). I'm sure your Owls have done the same, no? Actually, when was the last time you broke 40k for a conference game at home? Have you ever broke 40k for a conference game at home? We did it in the Big East, AAC and B1G.
...and of course, you're on OUR board while mocking us with the "Big Time Football" stuff, which is definitely amusing.

When its trolls are crawling all over our board for no reason? Put me down as an emphatic "yes."
As for the rest, why exactly do you care enough about Rutgers to keep reading our board? I've never been on Temple's board, and I probably never will be.

It's subscriber only, so you're probably right.
Seriously, I wish which Russo the best. Seems like a good kid. But when temple loses all its seniors and finish under 500 like usual, they go back to being a forgotten team. If temple does find a way to win, your coach will be gone so quickly. It's funny that temple fans think he is staying. Very Cute.
Large majority of fans do not appear to be mad at all, but rather indifferent. Russo was not going to be a good fit for our offense, and the coaches are pursuing QBs who will fit better. Good luck to him at Temple.
Your coach looks like he's in the process of sh#tting himself. Nice photo selection.
I'll be quite happy when you're banned just like the trolls before you (or is that you) and are forced to talk to the 2 1/2 other Temple fans on your own board.
How easily you guys forget that you're the ones spending midday time trolling our board. Who's mad again?
Confirmed: Temple football fans are trolling on a Rutgers football fan site, and are insane in expecting anything different than the exact response that they have been receiving.
In a futile attempt to rebut my statement, your level of insanity increased ten-fold. I'm impressed [roll]
Lmao - not mad at all [roll]
Even Penn State doesn't have that much butthurt.
You could always just not read the messages on our board, which is exactly what Rutgers fans do when it comes to Temple.
and remember how you lost to Notre Dame and your "best season ever" began unraveling! Good times!
[roll][roll][roll][roll]
That's gotta be a hot ticket....must be a real money-maker.
What are there...like ten subscribers ?
Seriously, there were about that many back when it was a free board.
Again, 'all' is 3 more than Rutgers, one of whom was a walk on and another likely wouldn't have started all season if one of our OTs wasn't hurt.
