Michigan fans have begun to call Rutgers "Rutger," as if the original were a plural and they lost the privilege, and somehow this seems far** more demeaning and hilarious to me than tO$U or scUM. I won't be sad if it sticks.

**(I could never bold, italicize, underline and all caps that enough)
Now that's funny...

Here's what would have happened.
NOTHING.
You know why?  Nobody cares about Rutgers.
Baylor covered up for murder and numerous rapes BY THEIR ATHLETES and nothing happened to them.  You know why?  Because hardly anybody cares about Baylor.  People care even less about Rutgers.  How many average people do you think know about the crime ring Rutger's football players had this off season?
Need another example?  Michigan State's issues.  That got some publicity, but it would have been much worse at a helmet school.  
Helmet schools are under a microscope.  Trade swag for tattoos?  HUGE PROBLEM, BETTER REVAMP THE ENTIRE PROGRAM.  Coaching staff doesn't fire someone even though they were never convicted of a crime?  FIRE URBAN, OHIO STATE COVERS UP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN!!!
I disagree with this premise. Had Sandusky happened at Rutger, they'd be toast.

an active coach (not former) was accused of the same thing at Syracuse... they are still around.  It barely made the news cycle.
Ratings matter, and Rutgers just doesn't provide the ratings of a helmet school.

Rutger. There is no longer a "s" at the end.

Does "Rutger" put "Whisky" and "Sconnie" back on the table?

Would you like a seat at the big boy table for the board meeting?

No thanks. I just want clarity on the rules. 

Are condescending nicknames for the other Big Ten schools taboo, or are they fair game? 

If it depends on the school, which fall into what category?

I think it's kinda silly to have those nicknames, like scum or O$U or Whiskey. But the Rutger thing just fits so damn well. 



Illinoi might be a good one too.

In a separate and entirely unrelated matter, I've noticed that none of the Rutgers posters are active anymore.

Perhaps they know their fate. They'd fit nicely in the AAC.

Yet another thing that they have in common with The Wolverines.

Don't even get me started on the drama that happens when TWENTY too many MINUTES of STRETCHING are revealed to have happened per WEEK.

The couple/few Rutgers fans we did have (on the old Scout site) were pretty combative/defensive if I remember right. One, I think, was reasonable.



It's OK that they didn't come here. I don't think they'd blend (like their school with all of ours), and they certainly wouldn't like this topic.
