Rutgers has beaten Indiana in basketball 5 straight times and won there in football last year. Rutgers has also beaten Purdue in hoops 4 of the last 5 times and has never lost to it in football. Yet those schools are the most vocal against RU being in the B1G. Why is that?

Rutgers wing Ron Harper Jr. is down 13 pounds from the end of the season. Now 247. Looks really polished in a workout setting. Made a lot of shots. Will be playing five on five at the NBA Combine in two weeks. Could really help himself there.

Back to obsessing over #Rutgers . Look at the crowd when Griffin travelled. Not just shouts for the whistle. Everyone got up and motioned the call. We talk about the RAC as a place with nothing to do but watch basketball. That’s it. It’s 8K people engaged with the action. Hostile.

#Rutgers now up to the 72nd recruiting class in the nation. This is a program that was ranked 90th a few weeks ago. Obviously still not an ideal spot, but the jump in the last week or so due to Schiano is insane. Still 6 days until the early signing period ends. Still time #CHOP

Hi, yeah, Jersey kid here who's now been to campus twice for games. Once for football -- ok I give a pass for the empty seats. The other was last week for MBB. Yeah, the wall looks cool. But 2,000 empty seats against a good team? Yikes. I'll take the RAC and #Rutgers , thanks.

With a 44-15 overall record & a second place finish in Big Ten play, Rutgers did not make the NCAA Tournament field of 64 teams. They were projected in by every major publication. Their RPI of No. 42 and what was considered a down season in the Big Ten ultimately did them in.

Sources: Rutgers has interest and is exploring the possibility of playing in the Gator Bowl. They have the highest-ranking APR of the available 5-7 teams (979), which *should* give them chance to play. (Illinois has an APR of 970). Rutgers also beat Illinois head-to-head.

Just wrapped my final football call for WRSU. Blessed to have the opportunity to call PxP so often over my 4 years at RU. As a fan first, it was an honor. Saw some amazing games. Went to iconic venues. Obviously, with the best crew. Onto hoops! See ya there. Final record: 2-11
