tOfficial Rutgers please don’t block our path to bowl eligibility game thread

Consensus says they will not. 31-13 SPARTANS!!

by **steveschneider** 2019-11-23, 09:19

I remember going to see Rutgers back in the day at spartan stadium during the Perles era and we lost.

by **InTenSity** 2019-11-23, 09:58

Looking up the time for our game, I notice that the B1G has decided that noon is prime time and a great way to showcase the conference. Why PSU and OSU aren't playing at 3:30 or later is beyond me.

Agreed. Ya know I’ve always kinda wondered. You try to create advantages for yourself. Anyway possible. Money, facilities, exposure, recruiting. You want any advantage you can get. Would a domed stadium, done right, be an advantage? Kids seeing a Rutgers MSU game freezing their asses off has to be a deterrent. You can create a real advantage home field wise in a loud dome. Would it help attract southern or western kids? Sure you’ll have games on the road and all but it could help having something other B1G teams don’t. Just a thought.

I know the old school traditionalist will balk. And I get the stadium atmosphere pre game stuff. But honestly as shitty as the tailgating experience already is, what “tradition” are we really talking about.

I just crossed the 7 mile bridge. Trying to listen to the game.

by **Floyd Robertson** 2019-11-23, 12:48

I'd be a lot happier if MSU was up 17-0 instead of punting.

by **Watch Out Pylon!** 2019-11-23, 12:50

Rutgers is horrible.

by **kingstonlake** 2019-11-23, 12:51

Smells like a slow burn 310-10 game.

by **Watch Out Pylon!** 2019-11-23, 12:52

Fart noise.

Is there anything that exemplifies this season more than a would be pick six that our guy trips over his own feet (kind of bumped by a team mate), only to go 3 and out from the opponents 15 and then miss the FG.

It's also not a recipe for putting Rutgers away, breaking a five game losing streak and fanning the bowl hope flames.

This feels like a scrimmage lol

This is basically high level high school football.

This feels like the Nebraska game last year.

by **MiamiSpartan** 2019-11-23, 13:23

Big TD before the half!

by **Floyd Robertson** 2019-11-23, 13:23

That was a mostly beautiful drive. 1st and 20 isn't pretty but Collins got all that one run. Then the false start sucked, but the rest was good. Thanks RU.

Those were two penalties that are usually drive killers for us.

Lewerke is having a day. So is White

Receivers have mostly had to make the easy catches that come with finally getting separation and nobody breathing down Lewerke's neck.

by **MiamiSpartan** 2019-11-23, 13:54

Heroic defensive stand by the defense on 4th down!!!!

by **Watch Out Pylon!** 2019-11-23, 14:05

This ain't over yet.

by **Floyd Robertson** 2019-11-23, 14:06

No idea how that Cody White catch at the 1 was overturned.

by **Floyd Robertson** 2019-11-23, 14:18

This stupid 3rd down air raid siren is annoying.

Seconded.

by **kingstonlake** 2019-11-23, 14:33

White having a great game. Does anyone know if you’re eligible to be B1G player of the week if you play Rutgers?

by **Floyd Robertson** 2019-11-23, 14:35

Will MSU play other QBs now?

by **Tim Wakefield** 2019-11-23, 14:37

I'm barely watching my own Alma mater's football game. Sad times

To be fair the PSU/OSU game is much better.

Defense is threatening to give up the shutout.

Wish we would have seen Thorne

Wow. I was 57 the last time we won.

by **Floyd Robertson** 2019-11-23, 15:06

Today I'm thankful for Rutgers being in the B1G.
