Well, considering Pat White is hurt, Rutgers has an excellent chance of winning. RU I think is 0-14 at WVU, so I think that's where the point spread is coming from. The weather is going to be cold, with snow likely. That will only help RU. I've said from the beginning:RU matches up better to WVU than they did UL. Rutgers has the speed to contain Slaton.

Hmmm, I wonder if my Uncle can dust off his old Jets Superbowl hat also... Must be nice to live is the past!!!

According to Fox in Birmingham, Spurrier is coming down to meet and sign a contract. Sorry, I don't have a link. Don't know how true this is, but stranger things have happened... EDIT:: Here's a link.

Jack Arute of Rivals Radio labeled the Miami and Alabama HC jobs as "coach killers", says he thinks that both schools are going to be surprised at how they get turned down by their 'A' list coaches. Of most interest, he basically said that Schiano would have to be nuts to go to Miami, leaving a Rutgers program that he built from the ground up but still has room to soar from here. He mentioned that Greg will already earn over $1 mil this year with incentives, and being the only Div1A school in NJ and NY area basically the sky is the limit with both recruiting and fan support, but especially the media coverage. Also of significance, he thinks that Schiano will be able to use his FL football camps to take advantage of the instability at Miami and bring better FL athletes north to NJ than ever before. He basically said that RU has a better upside and less downside than Miami, and that Greg is smart enough to realize it (that we knew!). On 'Bama, he labeled them an SEC also ran, and said that their proud tradition is lost on most recruits these days, since they haven't been good for several years now. He thinks that they will have to settle for some OC or DC who will just wind up being fired like Shula in a few years because difficulty recruiting and level of competition in SEC, along with unrealistic expectations of the Tide fan base, will exact its toll.

Hmmm...What is the OOC record for the BE? Discount it if you must, but don't be upset. We have 3 teams in the top 15.

Didn't I say, "and yes, I know the left?" Did you fail the English section on your prerequisite test?

Wow, so if Texas, USC, ND, and Ohio St. joined up a new conference, they wouldn't be a top conference, because they were new?! What is the requirement to get into Texas again?

Miami (and yes, I know they left). Your argument holds no weight, because they BE has a bunch of new teams. It must suck to be a bitter Penn St. fan! Maybe you should wear one of these...

Who has the better record, and is ranked higher? Oh yeah, RUTGERS! Draft one of our lineman and you are gonna mourn we are the mighty longhooooooooooooooooooooooooorns

Schiano has also recruited S. Flordia extremely well, not to mention that whole NE would want to come to a powerhouse like RU.

From what I recall, the money was donated to the University, and the University then gave discounted packages. It was fairly cheap, and they got permission before doing anything.

Brilliant coach, great young talent, and a great recruiting class coming in. We have just begun to tap the talent in this area! Vive le Schiano!

Are you drinking? Rutgers will win before Texas, plain and simple.

The boosters donated a bunch of money for the students, and for alumni to go.

I guess the Jets are going to win the Superbowl, because afterall, they did win SB3.

No, I just wish you would be more educated before ya open up your big trap!

I read that they are going to offer him 3 mil a year!

Rutgers will win one before Texas will.

We were last year.

There's a better chance of the Bills winning the SB before that happens.

Haha, why doesn't it change anything? Miami was much better off then. Maybe he can go to your three loss team. I'm sure he could improve those mighty mighty Longhoooooooooooooorns.

I was reading the WVU board over at rivals and I guess when asked if he would go to Alabama, he stated "I don't want to discuss it right now." The fans over there are flipping out.

You're going to have the gun-toting contingent after you now.

Good luck and thanks! You're a very brave person!

Oh yeah, BTW, Schiano already turned down the Miami job once before.
