Schadenfreude: Rutgers

Submitted by Decatur Jack on

As a follow up to the previous thread where Rutgers fans were talking trash about Michigan and calling this game their "national championship," here are some genuine schadenfreude comments I was able to find.

Yes, to all those who will ask, these are all real - though I am not sure how many are from Rutgers fans exactly vs just casual observers. And tbh there are so many that I couldn't copy them all. My cup runneth over, guys. If you don't believe me all you have to do is twitter search "Rutgers".

UM fans are arrogant AF to think the visiting recruits are at RU to see them. They dont realize Ash has a GREAT relationship w/NJ HS coaches
If Navy can beat Houston, we can beat Michigan! #StripeTheBirthplace looks awesome!
Let's rush the field again today!
200 recruits on campus tonight guys. Let's show em what we got. #StripeTheBirthplace Goo Rutgers!!
Not expecting a win but if we hold them to less than 58 and break the shutout that's good enough to piss off Harbaugh lmao
Great they're already talking about Peppers
This is not going well...
So much for #StripeTheBirthplace This showing is PATHETIC
Hahaha M fans think their team is better than OSU, you guys are in for a shocker tonight
SEE I TOLD U MICHIGAN IS OVERRATED
WOOOOO GOO RUTGERS
This feels like a very pro-RU broadcast team on ESPN, rootin' for the underdog, and even they can't help us
Oh god what is happening
Help me...
I now feel so much better that I couldnt go to the game cuz I have the flu
Jesus Peppers is good
GODDAM IT ASH YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO SHOW THAT HARBAUGH IS OVERRATED WHAT ARE YOU DOING
Soooo, is Michigan really that good? Or are we really that bad?
Is there a more classless jerk than Harbaugh?
You are up 27-0 in the 2nd quarter and you go for 2 points.
This is Ohio State ugly
It is 43-0 at halftime in Piscataway. Needless to say I am disappointed as are all Rutgers fans. I expected more fight than this
One of our writers predicted Rutgers to win this game
solid pick there
Honestly I can't believe what I'm seeing
I really can't
I HATE YOU HARBAUGH
I am listening to the Titantic soundtrack and it seems oh so fitting
Can we please BREAK THE SHUTOUT?
Unbelievable. This game was supposed to be Ash's signature win. A huge upset for the ages. A sign that Rutgers football is back. A sign of Harbaugh's downfall. The man came into OUR STATE and did his stupid fucking satellite camp and we just LET IT HAPPEN. show some goddamn fight coach ash!!
Well there goes my sanity
Just once I'd like to watch Rutgers be the team I want them to be. We are the Birthplace of College Football, surely we can do better than this shit
I scared my dog so much by screaming at the tv that she took a giant shit in the middle of the living room. Great, now I have to clean this up too
God even Purdue played better today than us. sooo disappointed in my knights
WHY DID U GO TO MICHIGAN PEPPERS? STOP BELIEVING THEIR LIES
Coach Ash looks like he's about to cry
Why the fuck did people get my hopes up by saying this was going to be an upset? God I fucking hate you all
If Gary was really good he would come to his senses and transfer home to RU so he can make us into a power
OH MY GOD. NOT FROM HIM.
NOPE.
NOOOOPE.
And with that they pass over 58 points. More than Ohio State. Ugh I hate Michigan soooo much
OH GOD. RUTGERS IS THE NUMBER 2 TRENDING TOPIC ON TWITTER FOR THE UNITED STATES RIGHT NOW. 5 FOR WORLDWIDE.
Did the announcer srsly just call us "buttgers"?
200 Recruits. 200 RECRUITS. you had ONE JOB coach ash
wow we are soooo bad
I can't believe I ever thought we ever had a shot against this team. How the fuck did we beat Michigan two years ago?
Dear Christ in heaven we can't even get a first down
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA PICK SIX ON SHANE MORRIS! SUCK IT HARBAUGH YOU LITTLE BITCH! SO MUCH FOR THE SHUTOUT HAHAHAHAHAHA
Did that hit the ground? Nnnnnooooooooo!!!!!
The worst part about all of this is that Jersey kids are watching and we are not exactly helping our case
I want to die
Tough day to be a Rutgers fan. Embarrassed to be going there. smh
NO MORE I SAY! LET THIS AWFUL UNDEAD TEMPLAR BLEED HIS LAST
Holy shit they might hit 100
Wtf where is the mercy rule in cfb?? END THIS SHIT SO I CAN GO HOME
Jim Harbaugh is an okay coach, I guess.
Michigan is making us their bitch
We had no chance…no chance.
Whoever said that we would win this game needs a swift punch to the face pronto
I hate watching this shellacking but honestly I fucking love Michigan's offense. Line up in the i-form and pound it. Get rid of this spread shit and get a fucking fullback in here.
Harbaugh called off the dogs and they still scored 78 points
Rutgers needs to never play football again. My god.
We poked the wolverine. We shouldn't have poked the wolverine.
Remember that time when we were all saying how awesome coach ash was for holding a camp at the same time harbaugh was? Yeah turns out harb took that personally
Great. Rutgers is trending on twitter…for all the wrong reasons.
BREAKING: Police have filed assault, battery, rape, and murder charges against the entire Michigan roster for what they did to Rutgers
Coach Ash you proved today you are Harbaugh's bitch go home to wisconsin or ohio or wherever you came from and never come the fuck back
Still can't believe this Rutgers team beat Michigan 2 yrs ago
How did it get this bad?
Any chance we can bring back Schiano?
I am so ashamed right now
The Rutgers band has given up and is playing The Victors in their own stadium
Honestly! What does Ash tell the 200 NJ recruits? "You, too, can be slaughtered like this if you come to Rutgers."
Jim Harbaugh is the biggest asshole coach in all of college football
I fucking hate him so much. He is so good it makes me angry.
Well Mr. Gary I am glad you got to come back to your home state and take a giant shit on the team you should have played for. Now go back to Ann Arbor you fucking traitor bitch
Imagine what life would be like if Schiano had never left. We'd be 3-0 against Michigan right now
The joke will be on Michigan when Harbaugh goes back to the NFL and they hire another Brady Hoke or Rich Rod
Rutgers football twitter stopped tweeting in the middle of the game. Way to go guys thanks for all the support
Fucking Pick Six that got called back. That was bullshit and everyone knows it. This game was not a TRUE SHUTOUT
Fuck u Michigan. Fuck YOUUUUUU
Why the hell did I think it would be a good idea to DVR this?
Harbaugh is the worst. THE WORST
Can someone tell me again why the fuck we are playing in the same fucking division as Urban Meyer and Jim Harbaugh?
I feel like we broke NCAA rules somehow
Damm bruh Michigan is piling it onnnnn
If this doesn't make you so depressed that you don't question every decision in your life, nothing will
I am a Scarlet Knight forever but I can't believe what I am witnessing. Embarrassing.
stop scoring touchdowns michigan plzzzzz
Coach Ash face right now
They told us Hurricane Matthew might affect the game. They forgot to tell us about Hurricane Harbaugh.
Silver Lining: Michigan is winning this game because 1/3 of their team is from Jersey.
Did Chris Ash do something in the offseason to piss off Jim Harbaugh? Because it looks like he did.
That scene from Deliverance
Rutgers might have to shutdown their football program smh they got smoked 78-0 wtf

Hope you all enjoyed. (Yes, this was probably a waste of my time. I don't care, I'm posting it anyway.)

As a NJ native, I am shocked that Rutgers fans care so much and yet are so uninformed about their program and its capability.

Growing up in the state, Rutgers was never seen by me and many other state  residents as a major school of interest. In fact, high school football was played on Saturdays in New Jersey not Friday night, and therefore high school games took precedence over anything Rutgers was doing, and their  games were never broadcast in northern New Jersey.

Princeton, as an Ivy League school, and in my community the state's school of choice, was the one we followed. Despite its program background, Rutgers was viewed as a second-rate power without a real pulse natiionally. 

And any big time football recruits from Bergen County, one of the most densely populated in the country, where Paramus and Teaneck and Farleigh Dickinson Univesity are  located, and which is no where near Piscataway, never thought of Rutgers as a first-choice possibility. Penn State and Ohio State used to clean up on NJ recruits and still do. So, the idea that Harbaugh has come in and changed the recruiting complexion while Ohio State is seen only as some innocent standby supporter of Chris Ash, as an Urban Meyer protoge, is total bullshit.

Propaganda can change the world and Rutgers fans prove this without understanding the history and background of the league they play in. They are utterly delusional.

What's more, it seems like Rutgers having hired an OSU assistant and having participated in a satellite camp showdown last summer, not for benefit of teaching but simply as a retaliatory recruiting ploy, are excusing the failure of their own program's longtime failure as a footballl power and its most recent history,  to make it a more palatable choice for its best players.

I have no idea where ESPN dug up their broadcast team or the themes for last night's game, but it was incredible to see so much time devoted to some kind of NJ versus Michigan recruiting. Harbaugh didn't recruit Peppers, Hoke did.

In any case, Rutgers got exactly what it deserved last night, the program and its fans.

It's actually a very common courtesy, win or lose, for the home team band to play the opponent's fight song after the game, when the visiting team's band isn't present.

but my friend pointed out that the rutgers band goes to the visiting team's section to play their fight song during the 3rd quarter of every game as a show of good sportssmanship.

 

funny thing is the entire #birthplace looked like the visiting team's section by the 3rd quarter

I was feeling a little uneasy after our first 3 possessions, We had 8 yards or so total and I was thinking, how did OSU beat them 58-0?  Then it became pretty obvious.  A little hard to believe a 78-0 game started with two 3 and outs and a pick.

Holy shit. what kind of drugs do they have over there in New Jersey? 

Seriously, I can't believe there are football fans who had these thoughts.
