The War on Rutgers plot thickens
(photo by MGoPhotographer Patrick Barron)
This is going to shock you but Rutgers has gone back on their outrage over other teams that can easily pluck talent away from them coming and doing camps.
Rutgers has since decided to become an OSU puppet state and is teaming with them and Temple--another team who can actually beat PSU--on a satellite camp.

Rutgers mouthpieces on twitter are claiming this to be a RETURN SHOT OF FIRE!!1 since it is on the same day as our camp at PC.
Durkin is actually getting commits from top talent to Maryland (seriously) while Ash is already running back to mama for help. I just thought I'd throw that out there.
Hard to beat a man named after the something you flick off your smoke. Your move, Harbaugh.

I played pickup basketball every Wednesday night with a guy by the name of Jim Hoar. He had 3 daughters - I'll bet those girls had an awful time in junior high.
was named Mike Unti. We all loved to hear his name on the PA.
My 6th grade gym teacher was named Richard Holder. Went by dick. Name was apt.
at least according to Wiki, is Leucadia's Richard Handler.

I'm pretty sure he goes by Rich and a Post copy editor was having a bit of fun here.
with a guy named mike goff..... he had a brother named jack.....
My elementary school principal's name was Mr. Burpee. We all enjoyed that.
Similarly true, had a middle school teacher named Rich Long. He wisely did not go by "Dick".

Half-Ash.....
Had a client named Harold Sach. Nice guy old Harry.
the big 10 teams focus on screwing up the other conferences' recruiting (acc,sec-- in peticular) . instead of the other big 10 teams???
-just a thought....
Feels like they just want to be the anit-MIchigan, even if that means their best players end up at OSU instead.
Meanwhile Michigan and Maryland are teaming up for a camp (forgot which one). Should add them to the PC camp and make it NATO vs Warsaw Pact.

Narduzzi (Anti-Camps, Anti-everything UM, Pro-MSU) is going to hang off Harbaugh's coat tails at PC...man these camp arrangements are hilarious.

Seems pretty anti-recruit to prevent them from being seen by as many coaches. Should schedule it a different day or join up and appear at Paramus instead.
I agree and think this is an unforced error that will come back to make Rutgers and OSU look bad. Harbaugh has been saying form the beginning the camps are good opportunities for students to learn football and be seen. Other coaches say "no he's just recruiting." By scheduling camps on the same day, Rutgers and OSU are preventing kids' opportunities to learn and be seen in favor choosing where they want to be recruited by. I think this will help H's pitch.
Funny thing is I can see both beating PSU this year. If Ash wants a big win in year 1, his best bet is to hype up the PSU game as it's a historical power, is the closest team, and recruits NJ heavily. Wins will be hard to come by for Rutgers but if he can get a win against a team with a big name it would mean a lot going forward, even if we all think PSU will have a bad season due to their coaching staff.
Better stadium, likely to see a bowl game and Philly is 10x better than any town that starts with Piss.
#NorthPhilly
Philly is 10x better than Piscataway, no question.
Matt Rhule (he of the Penn State wreckage last year) is running things in Pennsylvania these days.
This has the distinct feel of responding to your neighbor appropriating and absconding with your lawn edger by setting your own shed on fire in retaliation. I am not sure why, but I have this image of Chris Ash trying to show the Big Ten that Rutgers can compete for players by going to a place where its prospects for getting players are perhaps are the worst, at least for top-tier talent. Very interesting strategy indeed.
OSU actually allowing Rutgers to be their side bitch is probably one of the high points in the history of Rutgers Football
So...Rutgers is Becky with the good hair?
michigan and maryland doing a camp together... and aren't they in the same conference?? --- i could be wrong but i thought they were.....

BC would be Rutgers 2.0 to be honest. Besides hockey, their sports teams aren't very good, especially the revenue generating ones.
BC would be terrible fit. The football program's high points are: A couple of good years under Leahy before he departed ("de-PAH-ted") for Notre Dame; Flutie's Heisman and upset of Miami (YTM) in '84; an upset of Notre Dame in '93; a good year in the 'aughts with a good coach who recruited poorly and left for an NFL coordinator position after his good year. The basketball program's high points are: A cheating scandal lead by New York mobsters Henry Hill and Jimmy Burke; diddly-squat. Boston is a pro-sports town with no divided loyalties among people who root for those teams. EVERYBODY there roots for the sox/celtics/bruins. The only people in Boston who follow BC are students and alums. Kids going to schools other than BC detest BC--there are no Emerson kids with BC flags in their dorm windows or UMASS-Boston kids with BC Superguides in the works. Oh, and BC plays in a bandbox that seats little over 40k with limited space for tailgating.
I didn't really think of the satellite camps turning into a B1G one-up competition
Oh, yes. This is the specific reason the SEC had previously banned them. It was not to protect them from non-SEC teams, it was to protect them from themselves.
Harbaugh will show up in the south for a week or two and that will be the end of it. But Saban, Miles, Freeze, et al, will live in each other's knickers all year long.
The SEC knew this and tried to keep it from happening. But it backfired on them when they tried to take on Harbaugh and then turned into whiney little bitches when they starting losing.
I think I love you Mabel.
