Oh happy day
— bleedscarlet.wordpress.com — Sorry, I’m not in the mood for conference solidarity this morning. Brian Kelly is gone, and even... though he’s off to revitalize the most universally-hated program out there, it’s hard to not look at this as part of a zero sum game. Rutgers football fans are desperate to get ... (more) Oh happy day

What’s ESPN planning?
— bleedscarlet.wordpress.com — Nope, this isn’t my long-in-the-works post about 360. ESPN just sent out this press release about an... upcoming series about the business of college athletics. Included will be several web features on their websites, and episodes of Outside the Lines. The Rutgers athletic department will ... (more) What’s ESPN planning?

12/8 Recruiting Update
— bleedscarlet.wordpress.com — First off, a special message from Coach Schiano. It’s going well. I can’t obviously comment on particular... recruits, but we’ve got a great group here and we’re enjoying the time with their families. You know, I’ve never done. We’re not a school quite frankly that does recruiting weekends on ... (more) 12/8 Recruiting Update

Provincialism in coaching hires
— bleedscarlet.wordpress.com — I’m happy for the likes of Charlie Strong, Mike London, and (possibly) Turner Gill or Kevin Sumlin.... I really am. Far too long quality minority candidates have been overlooked at the FBS level, or banished to awful jobs in Buffalo and New Mexico. How again, is it possible, that Lane ...

Snark, comma, link
— bleedscarlet.wordpress.com — Last week, Fooch spoke with Devin McCourty (video). Psst…recruits…Rutgers is one of a handful of football programs... that actually does a good job graduating African American student athletes. Why is Colin Cowherd starting baseless rumors ? And they say blogs are full of it. And ... (more) Snark, comma, link

Brown vs. Gilyard vs. Baldwin
— bleedscarlet.wordpress.com — Unfortunately, Tim Brown reaggravating his injury against West Virginia may cost him a shot at first team... all-Big East honors, although the conference’s super lame tie rules may end up allowing all three to share in that honor. They’re all deserving candidates, in what turned out ... (more) Brown vs. Gilyard vs. Baldwin

Another take on Tebow
— bleedscarlet.wordpress.com — Anyone hoping that Tim Tebow (or Colt McCoy for that matter) goes early in next April’s draft... may be setting themselves up for disappointment. Of the seniors, Texas’ Colt McCoy is considered “no higher than a second(-rounder)” according to one of the scouts (because of concerns ... (more) Another take on Tebow

Stadium expansion an early success
— bleedscarlet.wordpress.com — There’s one thing that bugged me about the critics of expanding Rutgers Stadium last year: they didn’t... seem to actually be looking at the numbers. Expansion was not predicated on immediate sellouts. Per athletic department projections , all they had to do was meet the 85%/75% ... (more) Stadium expansion an early success

All’s well
— bleedscarlet.wordpress.com — Rutgers/Miami was looking like the most likely matchup in the Meineke Car Care Bowl as of last... night, but those plans were likely torpedo’d by the Champs Bowl electing to take Miami over Clemson. With Clemson likely headed to the Music City Bowl, that left UNC as the obvious selection ... (more) All’s well

While we wait
— bleedscarlet.wordpress.com — Per mgoblog, New Brunswick’s Brandon Smith is leaving the University of Michigan . Two years ago, he... did like Rutgers, but wanted to get away from home. He was a very-heralded recruit at the time, and it was absolutely brutal to see Michigan take our big three linebacker targets that ... (more) While we wait

Weather’d
— bleedscarlet.wordpress.com — Man, what is it about West Virginia coming to town that leads to awful weather? It was... a cold and wet and generally unpleasant day. There was steady rain, which turned into snow during the second quarter. Hours later now, my clothes are in a pile on the floor and still soaked. Between that, ... (more) Weather’d

Carrion
— bleedscarlet.wordpress.com — Having looked over the Northeastern roster several days back, and not seeing that many in the way... of recognizable names, New Jersey hometowns, or eye popping statistics, I figured that must be the end of it.

Just saying
— bleedscarlet.wordpress.com — Saturday’s so close that I can almost taste it. There’s one problem though: I don’t know what,... if any, compelling angles there are with the current West Virginia roster. Noel Devine is the ultimate boom-or-bust back. Statistically, they’re just about a dead average team ... (more) Just saying

True freshmen quarterbacks
— bleedscarlet.wordpress.com — As good as Tom Savage has been at points, he remains a mere true freshman, and will... undoubtedly look like one when the offensive line struggles in pass protection. Still, it’s hard not to engage in a little wishful thinking when Coach Schiano is bandying about quotes like the following . ... (more) True freshmen quarterbacks

It’s Charlotte (maybe)
— bleedscarlet.wordpress.com — From reading what’s out there on the ACC side, it looked like the most likely scenario for... the Meineke Bowl was Rutgers vs. Miami, and that’s what Keith Sargeant is reporting now , and that the contingency plan is Birmingham again. Whew…It was a mistake for projector to be so ... (more) It’s Charlotte (maybe)
