That thread was pretty much calling out the OP for being an idiot. Some people look at just records and see us as an 8-4 team playing a 6-6 team when most of us know you guys are a quality team. Some people just can't get over when we were 11-2 in 06 we played a 7-5 Kansas State team and blew them out. It's nothing against Iowa State, but everybody did pretty much call out that OP for being completely wrong.
It's a Rivals site, you don't have to create a new log in to post and it's the night the bowl was decided = not that amazing.
Most of the Rutgers fans on there seem to get it. I enjoyed the one post too explaining that its "Rutgers", not Rutger. Haha, I will always remember to say the school in plural form from now on.
Always up for a history lesson on a school I know little about other than our loss with Stinson in the NIT.
LOL to be honest I was going to post something similar on here when I saw someone say "Rutger" figured I'd let it slide.
Just a point of contention, Rutgers is not plural (Rutgers' is, Rutger is just flat wrong), rather, The State University of New Jersey is named after this guy:Col. Henry Rutgers
hmm..I like their fans. Quite a bit different from looking the k-state forums last week. Its still early, but I might have a new team to cheer for in the big east..assuming that it continues to exist.
I always liked Rutgers, they were one of the teams I played as in my dynasty after I started winning consecutive titles at ISU.
Sounds weird to me too, don't get the point (or dig) your trying to make. Nice try?

love how a mizzou is there saying great things about isu!!
"I really shouldn't be sticking my nose into this conversation, but I must say that I find it sad some Rutgers fans feel this way. I think that Iowa St has the Best fans in the Big 12 and they are tougher than their record indicates. In my opinion there isn't a better "sleeper" team with their record in College Football. Tough team who can shock almost anyone (as has been seen).
I just hate to see Iowa St looked down upon because they are a good, solid team and school."

Same here. The "Pandemonium in Piscataway" game is one of my favorite non-ISU games that I've ever watched (can't believe it was five years ago!). I tried to follow RU fairly closely for a couple years after that game (partly to distract myself from how awful we were under the Chiz). Always cheer for them when I happen to see them on TV.

haha me too! I loved Ray Rice when he was there. They used to be the team I would cheer for when we sucked.
This. Maybe I'm getting old and jaded but I'm finally getting tired of other team's fans being disappointed they have to play us and say it's a lose-lose situation for them.
Can't wait until ten years from now ( after a decade of success with CPR) when we have a modicum of respect.
