The RU Screw Podcast

my neck my back still gonna call it Yurcak

@hrdcorhays @RuFan130 there was a contingent of fans that were excited to Get Back To Basics, saying that Harper couldn't defend, etc. sadly the propagandists occupy too much of my mind. looking back at the OP, it's not my best tweet. should have just enjoyed the show. but they can't all be bangers

@RUScrewPod @RuFan130 Maybe on the message board or randos on Twitter but that nonsense doesn’t really count. You’d have to be a moron to think this years roster was going to be even competitive after losing two generational talents.

remember when real life people were saying that Rutgers would be better off without Dylan Harper

@hrdcorhays @RuFan130 you've already decided that this didn't happen so I'm not going to waste my time with people whose real objection is that I'm being rude

@RuFan130 @RUScrewPod Right? Like give us a source on this rather than vibes.

@RuFan130 I know you're familiar with Pikiell's disinformation network, and this was a common refrain passed down last offseason through the ranks

@RUScrewPod No?

@Alanmadoney the coach did an echoing-throughout-time-and-space horrific job putting a team together around him and Ace, so nothing, I guess

@RUScrewPod Honest question, what did they gain with Harper?

today on Reddit: Rutgers should divert funds from the football team to hackers

@Richard37215662 eight figure budget to pay players and we're still afraid of Princeton? embarrassing

@RUScrewPod A 30 minute zoom.

Some Rutgers fans have historically voiced displeasure at giving up a home Big Ten game at the RAC to play at MSG. In my opinion, this is small-minded and AD Zinn totally gets it. She is a pro. There is no better marketing opportunity for Rutgers basketball than to be in NYC at MSG and plastered all over the NYC papers. Take the recent Michigan State game. The crowd was easily 90-10 Rutgers and the building was packed. UConn or St. John's level packed. The surrounding events were terrific. It was a Rutgers infomercial. Yes, Rutgers lost, but an injured Dylan played like 6 minutes. There were loads of recruits there and it mattered to them. They all want to play in MSG and it seems clear that the Jimmy V. has no interest in Rutgers participating. Do it every year and the women should ultimately play UConn there.

@Richard37215662 was there food at this meeting? set the scene

@RUScrewPod You know my opinion about Princeton and in my meeting with Keli, I discussed the Princeton rivalry. Rutgers should play it every year, but it won't.

@DragonflyJonez also non sports fans don't know shit about sports and it's hard for people to get that. it's just a reality show that they don't watch or care about. much like I have no idea who the characters are on The Bachelor

They cooking her but I really dont think she’s lying. I really think this is the perception a lot of non sports fans have about Shaq. He’s a household name but I think it slips a lot of non-sports fans minds that Shaq is an ex-NBA player. Shaq is so popular that Shaq is just Shaq

Pikiell needs continuity to have any chance of making his plan work. given Socialist Steve's refusal to acquire a single expensive player, I think they did a pretty good job this offseason. not sure how it'll work out. what I do know is that endlessly obsessing over weaving a childlike tale of blame deflection in the Asbury Park Press is big time loser stuff

@Patrick10270868 @RUScrewPod Seriously, why are some people saying that’s a good thing? Did they not see how terrible the team was?

honestly sad how much energy Steve Pikiell puts into using Jerry to tell his ongoing deranged tale of the Story of Rutgers Basketball. maybe it's time to lose Jerry's number and fix your offense Stevie app.com/story/sports/c…

name a better ambient sound in sports than the MSG defense organ. you can't do it

@JonRothstein Jon, when is this rally happening

@JonRothstein Jonuary 6th

Dear America, I will host an open rally in Central Park to protest expansion of the NCAA Tournament if this chatter continues. If you don't live in the NYC area, you are more than welcome to fly in and attend. We must stick together if and when crisis occurs. Sincerely, JR

they also have Duff going 15th to the Jets in their admittedly way too early mock draft. let's not wish that upon him though

KJ Duff is #19 on the PFF 2027 NFL Draft Big Board pff.com/draft/big-boar…

PablO'Keefe and the sports version of Project Veritas are still going strong. respect the hustle

#Rutgers Nation, time to step up. For each repost/like of this post through tomorrow I will donate $52 to @RUAthletics and @R_Fund. Please join me, spread the word and #MaxOutTheMillionMatch. Donate here: give.rutgersfoundation.org/scarlet-knight…

@KraigNJ66 I'll call them by the corporate names if the companies pay me personally

@RUScrewPod Just like it will always be the RAC
