just asking...No disrespect to the other Programs but cmon
When does this site get smart enough to have a only RU Wrestling forum?
- Thread starter LetsGoRUwrestling
- Start date
I've been thinking it for over a year. It's gotta be way past that time.
Folks love to talk wrestling...Surprised whoever runs this board hasn't noticed that ...Typical RU Athletics
I have Nothing to do with that or this website ..Just think its silly Wrestling doesn't have their own section on here
There is no need for it. Besides, as a wrestling person, why complain. Just take over this board. It will be more telling when the lax, and baseball etc. people start calling for it to get us out of here.
Disagree..Wrestling at The State University of NJ is a a Beast..Not complaining at all but just think a only Wrestling forum is deserved..Like Iowa and Penn State have..There are probably numerous NJ/ Rutgers Wrestling fans that have No clue of this site/forum...Why not bring them in?

Wrestling needs its own board. Let's be honest, wrestling is talked about year round now on this board. Sports like lax, baseball and soccer get volume during their seasons, but not year round activity like wrestling does now.
NJ.COM Wrestling forum was shut down with all their forums not long ago talking NJ Wrestling..This site has a chance to take off but this site doesn't see that and the passionate fans of NJ/RU /Wrestling!

That forum has been reincarnated on Facebook as the NJ Wrestling Forum Group Page. Many College and HS wrestlers, coaches and fans are on that site. There are about 6 admins that function as moderators. I think you know this.

I enjoy the updates on Rutgers baseball, soccer and lax. If removed, I would never check for them elsewhere. . I have no problem picking out the wrestling threads on this forum. Thanks. $$$$
I think his point is that ppl without facebook (like me) dont have access to it. When itr was on nj.com I checked it daily
Big fan, good friends with a major supporter of the program, on these boards almost daily, but don’t really see a need for its own board. I mean...why? Just “because”? Not against it, don’t get me wrong!

Is there a reason we can't have separate boards for different sports? Is there a limit to the number you can set up? Is there an additional charge to the site owner?
Why do we have an forum called "Rutgers Hoops' listed in the "FORUMS" and if you click on the 'All Forums' entry you get entries for 'Mens Basketball' and 'Womens Basketball'?

@Richard Schnyderite has only been running these boards for a little over a year and immediately brought on a dedicated wrestling writer in @Lex Knapp , so I'd take a different approach and just ask nicely.
I don't see the need. People are hardly disciplined enough to limit wrestling discussions to just this board as it is. Whenever there is a significant event in any sport a thread will be started on the FB board. I think the logic is that the FB board is the most popular forum (not sure that is the case these days) and thus a post there is creating awareness of the event to a broader set of RU followers. I find myself spending less time on the FB board given the lack of substantive discussion as compared to the mens basketball and this forum. I am glad the OT's stay concentrated on the FB board.
To be fair here, I’ve only been in charge of the site for a year now, LOL! We are 100% looking into making a solely wrestling free board at the moment and I can get back to you with more info soon. In the mean time, Lex is the best in the business when it comes to covering RU Wrestling and recruiting.

Site asked me for a password: I entered my pw for access to the site and it was rejected -- I then tried TKRFB19 and that was rejected too. What's the problem?
Try signing out, resigning in off the front page and then try the promo again.
Here’s a different link for you incase that doesn’t work - https://rutgers.rivals.com/sign_up?promo_code=TKRFB19
Well how about till then we just bold and capitalize wrestling and title the forum like this:
WRESTLING, baseball, soccer, lax & more!.
That should satisfy everyone, without disrespecting others.
Frankly to spin off Wrestling to its own board would be dilutive and a mistake, IMO. Outside of a handful of hardcore wrestling fans, most of the visitors to this board are Rutgers fans in general, most likely alumni and/or big fans of FB or MBB. They want to stay up to date on the comings and goings of the non-rev sports and occasionally engage in discussion. I would put myself and others I know in that category. I read a lot of wrestling content and occasionally post but it’s unlikely if ever visit a dedicated wrestling board. The result would be a far more stagnant board with the same few people rehashing the same conversations. Better to attract a broader audience. You gain nothing by spinning it off, in fact it would probably result in far less actual wrestling content.
