WHERE'S MY MAMA?
Ray Rice, after the game, looking for his mom: "Where's my Mama?" Finds mom, hugs on camera, which is then obviously overrun by Rutgers fans who point maniacally at camera. Because they can. ESPN doesn't let their cameraman get gleefully overrun often enough, in our opinion.
Rutgers demolishes the narrative, and an offsides call gives Ito a chance at a retrial.

A big night for Rutgers, and for Ito, too.

Rutgers performing horrible carnal acts on Louisville’s season is very good news for the Longhorns.

The vaunted Big East! Hey WVU you’re back in the mix, and by mix I mean the Brut Sun Bowl.
by OldSweatyHokie on Nov 9, 2006 11:31 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
And Gators, Hogs, Tigers, Trojans, Bears etc… now all we need is WVU to complete the round-robin of beatings and take the Big East out of the equation entirely.

Big-Who? Suck it Louisville, suck it long; and suck it hard….

That offsides call looks like it might have been long-snapper-brilliance… I’d have to see it again, and may be horribly wrong, but it looked like the holder was still calling out some sort of cadence (perhaps it was just, “hut… hut… HUT!” but whatever) when the ball was snapped. I think the longsnapper saw the offsides and gave the kicker a why-the-hell-not? type of chance.
Secondly, has everyone over looked that Ito also came up with the initial hit on the ensuing kickoff to bring down the return man? That dude is going to touch many vaginas in the weeks to come.

Best quote of the night comes from Lou Holtz in the Sportscenter wrap-up. Commenting on how Rutgers managed to beat Louisville, Holtz opened his moth and utter the following:
“Louisville was looking forward to last week’s game with West Virginia.”
Yogi Berra would be proud.

Ito definitely had some great motivation on that kick: he knew hit or miss, he’d be getting lots of sex tonight. Hit: many many of Rutgers’ finest, relatively undiseased coeds. Miss: Use your imagination, you sick fucks.

Totally off topic, but why do some schools with bird mascots (looking at you L’ville and ISU) insist on including human-like teeth in their bird logos? Birds have beaks, they do not have teeth! Please stop, you’re confusing my children.

Dinknflicka, I don’t know why, but I certainly won’t trust Louisville’s ornithology department ever again, now that you reminded me of that.

What an image. The fact that Mike Hart was almost literally picked from Syracuse’s back yard, and that Rice was once verbally committed to Syraucse is probably more discouraging than the team’s actual record is.

I always wanted a beard like Judge Ito’s. The man just looks like he embodies manliness.

Hey remember that time back in 99 when we were on the verge of collapse and some kick ass Gator jumped offsides to give Bama a 2nd chance in the swamp?
Living in the past…you’re damn right.
We suck.
If the line stays below 20 bet LSU.
Long hard fall…

For once and for damn friggin ALL……………………
No more crap about how deserving an undefeated team, any undefeated team, from any pissant BCS-affiliated conference deserves a title shot over teams that actually have to play someone decent, but lose.
BYU in 1984 retired the trophy as biggest joke MNC. How the hell could so many have forgotten how cheap that MNC was?
For all y’all who propped up the ’Ville….I damn well better see Rutgers on all your moranic ballots at no worse than #3 this week. They are from the same crappy conference and they shut out your previously worthy title contender in the second half. No excuses, you fools. Either you put RU #3 (or better) or you get the frick off my TV, out of my newspaper, and no more online sharing, either.
Oh yeah – all you smart pricks who laugh at Corso? Who is the moran tonight? You, or the former UL coach who said the Trojans will get to the title game before Loserville? I can’t wait to read/hear your apologies.
Oh yeah…..while I’m thinking of it…..why isn’t Arkansas mentioned as a possible SEC champion at 12-1? Last I read, the Hogs are the only SEC unbeatens. Come on y’all, show me how it is all about the SEC conference champion. Talk to me again about how it isn’t unfounded bias against Arkansas that prevents y’all from rewarding a bunch of guys who have amassed the most impressive record in the South this year. Let’s see…..a road win (ass kicking is more like it) at J-H isn’t as good as Florida’s LOSS at J-H. Obviously, the Gators are more deserving at this point and should always be mentioned as the best one-loss team.
While we’re at it, tell me again why Troy Smith beating up patsies all year (excepting Texas) is better than Quinn beating an inspired Sparty in EL, probable ACC champ GIT in Atlanta and putting up monster numbers that dwarf Smith’s. Quinn has ZERO running game and OL, Smith has excellent to great support in this regard – and a far superior defense.
Yes, it isn’t about actual performance, is it? It’s about unsustainable paradigms and constructs just like all the idiot professors like to teach us when explaining why it’s always the U.S.’ fault that shit happens in the world, and kissing co-eds is always rape (except at Kyle Field, thank God).
That is all.

Of course the Gators should always be mentioned as the best one-loss team.

Not that I necessarily think Troy Smith invented the bread slicer, but you must have forgotten about Mike Hart’s testicles sitting on Brady Quinn’s chin during the Michigan game.

Wow.
That was a great ballgame.
How can you not feel good for Schiano and Rutgers?
The real message here is to AD’s:
If you commit to a coach because of his philosophy/plan, give him time to get his system in place. Look how bad Rutgers was as recent as Schiano’s third year. But the powers-that-be remembered why they hired him in the first place and stuck with him.
Note: This only applies when your coach isn’t playing 36 holes a day. If he is and your team sucks, you fire him post-haste.

What’s a “moran”? It sounds like something that would be included in a tOSU police report.

I think a “moran” is the actress who played Richie Cunningham’s little sister on Happy Days. Her name? Erin Moran…

I will give Arkansas full credit for “best one loss team” if it gets through the Vols and LSU unscathed.
“Moran” is a common Irish surname often confused with “moron” — albeit ironically.

Did anyone else hear Dickie V talk about Coach Schiano’s parents this morning? His quote was something like this:
“I know Greg Schiano’s parents. I went to school with his father, and his mother the BEAUTIFUL Rene Schiano, was a cheerleader when I played high school basketball. These are good people, and I know said a long time ago that if Greg has HALF the energy of his mother, he’d be a great coach, baby!”
So I think Dickie V banged Schiano’s mother in high school…all I can say is wow. Small world.

OldSweatyHokie – If someone from a real conference wants to put down the Big East, fair enough. But when a traitor from a basketball conference talks smack, it rings a little hollow. I’m guessing by the name that you’re either one of the Vick brothers or the captain of the Hokie’s cheerleading squad.

137 years of shit. Give them a fair chance.
Don’t give me Rutgers of ’61 or ’76.
They were beating Cornell, Brown and Penn.
This is the greatest team in Rutgers history
I know that isn’t saying much, and feel free to toss Ohio and Howard as a little less than powerful teams in their nonconference schedule, but please stop whining about one loss, no loss, my conference is better than yours bullshit.
The system sucks with no playoff, but stop whining. I know Notre Dame, and Florida, and Michigan, and Ohio State have these long traditions, and thus it is easier to plug them into rankings and feel comfortable about it. It would be hard for a voter to admit that Rutgers is in the top five of the country based ontheir horseshit history.
Undefeated is undefeated, whether you’re a Buckeye or a Scarlet Knight…or a moran.
Go RU.

You can’t be a college football fan and not love what Rutgers has done under Schiano (who I still think is secretly Henry Rollins). And if they beat WVU, I’d like to see ‘em get a shot. Their schedule is Stay-Puft soft but let’s not go putting them in the same category as BYU of ‘84 or Utah of ’04. If Rutgers had played Texas’s schedule to-date, I think it’s likely they’d have the same record as Texas does now. I’m not as sure the reverese is true.
I’m officially on the Scarlet Knight bandwagon. Go you magnificent bastards and beat the Mountaineers. But if it all ends with Schiano leaving to be the next warden at Da U, I take it all back.

I am a long suffering Rutgers fan. So I will not even begin to think about the word “National Championship” because my head will explode.
I will simply say this, whilst performing the Jersey Fist Pump:
WOOT!

Rutgers is the best one dimensional team this side of Fayetteville. That said, the Scarlet Knights better be in the top 5 in all of the human polls on Sunday night. Otherwise, all the voters look like ass clowns.

I was at the game and agree with thehakujin’s comment that Ito knew that a Louisville player was offside, so he was off his game a bit. It was a wonderful night and great to see Rutgers hangin’ with the big time programs.
