What if I told you there was a university that was Harvard from Monday through Friday and Southern Cal on Saturdays? A team that is already ranked preseason #1 by a prominent college football analyst, has tons of famous alumni, possesses world-class facilities, and would provide Penn State with a rivalry game that would easily eclipse Ohio State vs. Michigan?
It exists, my friends. It exists in the mind of Rutgers Al. And if you've not seen the work of The State University Of New Jersey Al, prepare yourselves. Here's what he posted on YouTube after their season opening 47-15 loss to Cincinnati, a game that was such a monumental upset that it could only be compared to the Dolphins beating the Bears in 1985. Seriously. PICK UP THE SCARLET PHONE, DELANY.

Rutgers
hasn’t really lost a football game since 1890. The losses this year were because they felt bad and put their JV team on the field. If they were to ever use their real team….look out!

What an awesome challenge to the Redneck Rocker.
This guy must be FUGLY if he won’t show himself, even if his “fanbase” is asking for it.

OH MY GOD.
I thought you were joking about the Bears/Dolphins game.
Holy scheize.
And how do you know what your style will be “once you eventually develop it.”

I loved that little line about their style, too. Subtle, but hilarious.

Where in the hell did these lunatics get the ‘USC of the East’ thing? I don’t understand it. I know every fanbase has their share of nutjobs, but I’ve seen this “USC of the East” thing pretty often.

Additionally, there already IS a USC of the East...
In South Carolina.
And I’m not even speaking metaphorically.
We are gonna shock them with 5,000 mega watts of raw ROO POWER.
This sells Rutgers short

Rutgers is apparently so awesome it can grant its imitators the ability to bend space-time!

that's where you get blown out by a very overrated team with no defense.

Which I’ll be using at a capstone for every opinion based statement I make today.

Right here..
Seriously, listen to the whole thing. I feel like several people have missed the “Brian Kelly is a defensive genius” line. Priceless.

It sounded to me like he corrected himself and said "offensive genius"
Ironically Skip Bayliss is talking about how much Cincy’s defense sucks at this very moment.

Although I want Rutgers in Big Ten
for selfish reasons, closest to Philly so more games would be possible. I would love to hear Al’s outrage if/when Rutgers doesn’t get an invite
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face
I'm sad that he doesn't have a thick Jersey accent.

As for the "Harvard of the Southeast," we have some impressive news today:
"Every player we have, someone-maybe a parent, a grandparent, someone-poured their soul into that young man. They are handing that young man off to us. They are giving us their treasure, and it's our job to make sure we give them back that young man intact and ready to face the world."

He actually sounds absolutely enthused that his team was spanked by Cinci.

In the year 2020
I actually think Rutgers is the best team for the Big 10 to add long term. In terms of the NY market, they would own it….I live here and Syracuse is a non factor – it’s way to far away for NYer’s (New York City folk) to consider our team. It would be like NYers rooting for the Bufallo Bills – come on.. There are tons of college football fans in NYC, most happen to be alumni of some other school, but would also love a local team to become big time. This would be a great long term addition to the Big Ten.
And for my hail mary addition to the Big Ten, I read somewhere that Texas can’t leave the Big 12 unless A&M & Tech left too….so why not grab all 3.
Lastly lastly, I don’t think we need another team, the league just needs to play later into the year, take a bye week or start a week later or both…
Do you know who will be the best fit...
for the Big 10 in 10, 20 or 30 years from now if they do so decide to expand? Please tell me. And take me with you on your time machine. Clearly my opinion is wrong because you have the facts. Come on guy.
Also, I apologize for making the Texas comment and trying to spur a bit of conversation on the slowest work day of the year for me.
NYC would be a Rutgers town if they ever get a bit of consistency. THAT is a fact. And how those eyes & dollars wouldn’t be good for the Big Ten, I don’t know. And it would be great from a Penn Staters perspective to them PSU into town every other year.
I don't think he was talking about you pal
I think he was referring to the tool in the video.

On the day of Rutgers' Bowl game
The New York Times had exactly 0 stories about the game. They did however have 1 story about the PSU womens Volleyball team. Rutgers will never deliver the NY market. That said I want the Big 10 to invite Rutgers so we may be treated to RutgersAl on a weekly basis.
Does the Times still carry sports?
NY already sticks both it’s NFL teams in Jersey, and Rutgers is easily the closest big time program geographically. People who had no interest in college football were legitimately excited about some of the Rutgers games last year and the year before. It’s sort of like Soccer in the US….if we do well in the world cup, people might start watching. (in theory) Ditto for Rutgers in NYC, they need to show some life and people will in turn respond. It’s called building a program and they have everything they need to do so if they so choose.
They will matter in NYC when they’re good. That season (‘06? I think) is looking more like an outlier instead of the start of something big, and they currently play in the Big East. The NYC market won’t care if they’re competing with jNW for a Pizza! Pizza! Bowl birth every year.

Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would’ve been state champions. No doubt. No doubt in my mind.

Well now, wait a second
There are many more (albeit subtle) similarities between the two schools.
Harvard: 7 letters.
Rutgers: 7 letters.
Harvard team name: Crimson.
Rutgers team name: Scarlet Knights.
Harvard located in: Cambridge—an English name.
Rutgers located in: New Brunswick—an English name.
We might as well accept our fate now.
2 Questions:
1. Isn’t this guy one of the judges on “Dancing with the Stars”?
and
2. Are those bullets holes on the Rutgers “R”?
Up until now, I thought RU might be a good addition to the B10, now, I am not so certain.
Merry Chrismas everyone and WE ARE
I'll Buy That
Rutgers has Harvard’s athletic prowess along with USC’s academic standards, what’s to dispute?
What the hell is a "shrinking violet"?
After watching that video I was going to say, so long as we get a Rutgers Al video to laugh at each week, Rutgers has my vote for joining the Big Ten. But then I realized, if he’s going to make Cinci sound like a NFL team, do I really want to hear this guy stroke scUM and tOSUs egos every time they destroy Rutgers? No thank you.
