All Scarlet Knights have a passionate hatred for all that is the Nittany Lions. So, here’s what every single student here at Rutgers has been thinking for the past year…

1. WE’RE A FORTY MINUTE TRAIN RIDE FROM NYC. HELLO SICK BARS AND THE BEST INTERNSHIPS.
2. HOW DID YOU LOSE TO MICHIGAN AND MARYLAND?
3. WE HAD YOU TREMBLING IN FRONT OF YOUR TELEVISION FOR THREE QUARTERS OF THE FALL ’14 GAME.
4. ON THAT NOTE, HACKENBURG SUCKS. OR I SHOULD SAY HACKEN-SACKED.
5. WE’RE THE BIRTHPLACE OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL.
6. WHERE IS YOUR DIVERSITY, SERIOUSLY.
7. ΚΔΡ JUST SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
8. STOP PRETENDING YOU’RE OHIO STATE’S RIVAL.
9. YOU WEREN’T AN ORIGINAL BIG TEN SCHOOL EITHER. LOOK IT UP.
10. WE CREATED FAT SANDWICHES AND R U HUNGRY?
11. WHAT DOES STATE COLLEGE EVEN DO? IT EXISTS SOLELY FOR THE UNIVERSITY. IT’S NOT A REAL PLACE.
12. YOU’LL RIOT FOR ANYTHING. CHILL OUT, FRATSTARS.
13. IT PAYS TO HAVE A KILLER SPECIAL TEAMS. MAKE THAT LEADING THE NATION IN 39 BLOCKED FIELD GOALS SINCE 2009.
14. RUTGERS: WHERE WE HAPPILY ACCOMMODATE STUDENTS WITH CHEAP IN-STATE TUITION.
15. HOW YOU NAVIGATE YOUR CAMPUS WITH YOUR INBRED IQS IS BEYOND ME.
16. HONESTLY WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU LOCATED?
17. WE JUST ENTERED THE BIG TEN AND WE ALREADY GAVE YOU A RUN FOR YOUR MONEY.
18. BEING FOUNDED IN 1855 IS ABSOLUTELY EMBARRASSING COMPARED TO 1766.
19. RUTGERS FORMALS IN ATLANTIC CITY CASINOS AND GINORMOUS CITY BLOCK PARTIES? LET US KNOW IF YOUR MANSIONS BEAT THAT.

20. AND THIS. THIS COULD BE THE DOUCHIEST THING EVER MADE. AND HE’S A KICKER…

21. SEPTEMBER 19TH…SEE YOU THERE.
HAVE A REBUTTAL PENN STATE? CONTACT US RIGHT HERE!

 

[NittPicker]

They did the same kind of stuff last year. How'd that work out for them?

 

[Thorndike2012]

Who?

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Last year they couldn't torture us with the knowledge that for three quarters, we were trembling in front of our TV's!

 

[BobPSU92]

Penn State is soooo in their heads.

 

[stneumann83]

"WE HAD YOU TREMBLING IN FRONT OF YOUR TELEVISION FOR THREE QUARTERS OF THE FALL ’14 GAME."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..... Yes they did and then we did what we always do to Rutgers..We beat them.

 

[fairgambit]

Rutgers does not throw down a gauntlet. Rutgers throws down a hanky, usually white, so that it can be later used to surrender or for drying their tears.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

14. RUTGERS: WHERE WE HAPPILY ACCOMMODATE STUDENTS WITH CHEAP IN-STATE TUITION.

Rutgers:
in-state tuition: 11,217
fees: 2,914
room & board: 12,054
total: 26,185

PSU:
in-state tuition: 16,572
fees: 942
room & board: 10,926
total: 28,440

tuition is cheaper at Rutgers, and the overall cost for in-state students is cheaper, but the total for the 2 schools is not all that different.

 

[Victor E. Bell]

Unless we work them by 5 or 6 TDs, I would fully expect to get jobbed if it's close. It's cool that they do all this stuff and gin up support but it all depends on the officiating and although we're probably a little better man-for-man on the roster I would never assume a win. The Pig Ten officials will be seeking any opportunity to beat Penn State down. I would predict a loss, just based on past performance of the officiating.

 

[VaNtyLion]

My rebuttal would be "Seriously Rutgers, if you're trying so hard to be a rival it would help if you actually beat us more than once in the last 95 years. Temple has a leg up on you there and we wouldn't waste a hungover beer fart worrying about them either".

 

[mal359]

"14. RUTGERS: WHERE WE HAPPILY ACCOMMODATE STUDENTS WITH CHEAP IN-STATE TUITION."

The author did not go to Rutgers within the last 30 years.

 

[eVizions]

That was actually the weakest list I've ever seen. They really had to dig deep to find something - anything - that they felt they were "better" at. Blocked FGs since 2009??? ARE YOU REALLY REFERENCING BLOCKED FIELD GOALS SINCE AN ARBITRARY DATE TO MAKE A POINT?!?! How did we lose to Michigan and Maryland? WE BEAT YOU... IN YOUR OWN BUILDING. Hack sucks? Your senior QB threw 5 picks against us last season. WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO CRITICIZE OUR QB?!?!?

 

[Nitwit]

That's just silly. Who the f cares about that sort of nonsense?

 

[Fox Chapel Lion II]

You know what? I have had just about a royal bellyful of effin' Rutgers. There's a time for being cool and above the fray, and there's a time to get in the gutter and crush somebody's windpipe.

I don't believe CJF appreciates people trying to make an ass out of him. Underneath the smooth and the polish, I think he has a vindictive streak and I certainly hope to see it against the likes of Flood and Edsall and anybody else that tried to chump us.

Rutgers is a zero trying to become a one. They need wiped away like a dirty stain.

 

[lein]

Who?

What's a Rutgers anyways

 

[Blueblood4eva]

Unless we work them by 5 or 6 TDs, I would fully expect to get jobbed if it's close. It's cool that they do all this stuff and gin up support but it all depends on the officiating and although we're probably a little better man-for-man on the roster I would never assume a win. The Pig Ten officials will be seeking any opportunity to beat Penn State down. I would predict a loss, just based on past performance of the officiating.

Jersey Jim Delany had it all set up for last year. The Pig Network was there for their first attempt at Game Day Live, his most special officiating crew was assigned to the game, and in the waning minutes they called back the go ahead touchdown and moved Hack back 10 yards. All the King's horses and all the King's men couldn't stop 5 pick Nova from "Rutgerring" it again! Big time Billy Belton delivered and Coach Franklin did post game interviews out on the midfield block R. The next week their administration was forced to apologize for the filth that appeared on their official school website, of their fans behavior at the game. Smutgers had done it again.

 

[Fox Chapel Lion II]

Smutgers had done it again.

Just doin' what they do best. Kings of the small time.

 

[lionlurker]

When you have to try this hard, it just shows that you are way, way behind.

 

[BobPSU92]

Rutgers:
in-state tuition: 11,217
fees: 2,914
room & board: 12,054
total: 26,185

PSU:
in-state tuition: 16,572
fees: 942
room & board: 10,926
total: 28,440

tuition is cheaper at Rutgers, and the overall cost for in-state students is cheaper, but the total for the 2 schools is not all that different.

Not to mention that it is hard to be classified as in-state for two states at the same time, so how about in-state ru vs. out-of-state Penn State and vice versa? I'm guessing Penn State is cheaper for a PA resident than ru.

 

[BobPSU92]

That list is a verbose way of saying, "Penn State, please be our rival. Please?"

 

[1PSUfootball1]

The last meaningful football game Rutgers played......was in 1869.

 

[Alphabets]

The girl that wrote the article swallows. True story.

 

[anon_is9z1n0h3zblb]

On their game countdown timer, instead of putting the Logo of the team that is about to beat them, they should just put up a big "L" to save time.

 

[pandaczar12]

Wow, they tried so hard, and it looks like it was written by a 12 year old. Some of them don't even make sense. They seriously are trying to take credit for the fact that NYC, a city college kids can't afford, is 40 minutes away? What's a formal... Did the author go to school in 1889? also, Penn State's football team was never known as the "Queensmen"!

Rutgers, aspiring to be Pitt since 1869.

 

[Hugh Manatee]

Looks like good clean fun, to me. No foul.

 

[krichards]

Never have so many tried so hard and accomplished so little. I felt bad for Rutgers while reading that. No need for a rebuttal. The list is its own rebuttal.

 

[bmw199]

My rebuttal is to set them up with an annual opening game against Pitt. They'll love each other. I'm like okcupid over here.

 

[Nittany Security]

Is it me or are rutgers fans worse than spitt fans. I guess they are about equal.

 

[zappaa]

Pure drivel, not worthy of responding to.

 

[BobPSU92]

By the way, what's with the pictures of the two stadiums? Are they trying to say that ru's game day atmosphere is as good as or better than Penn State's?

Too bad they don't like Nordin's video. It's also too bad they won't have a kicker as good as him.

And what's with 1766 vs. 1855? So, Penn State was founded 89 years later. Penn State has accomplished so much more in so much less time.

 

[Alphabets]

My rebuttal is to set them up with an annual opening game against Pitt. They'll love each other. I'm like okcupid over here.

Perfect. Both teams want a rivalry soo bad, match made in heaven.

 

[psuken]

Let me say this and only this...'Rutgers will never be the rival of Penn State, never'.

 

[pandaczar12]

11. WHAT DOES STATE COLLEGE EVEN DO? IT EXISTS SOLELY FOR THE UNIVERSITY. IT’S NOT A REAL PLACE.
16. HONESTLY WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU LOCATED?

They make fun of state college, and it's location. Meanwhile where the hell is Rutgers? Is it Piscataway, is it New Brunswick? All I know is that it is located in the WORST of the 50 states.

3. WE HAD YOU TREMBLING IN FRONT OF YOUR TELEVISION FOR THREE QUARTERS OF THE FALL ’14 GAME.

This guy did no research, I wasn't watching the game at home, I watched us crush their hopes and dreams from inside their tiny stadium. I walked in a crowd of students back to campus, listening to them cry.

 

[retsio]

There is a more prestigious university just down the road from 'that other school in NJ' -- have they ever heard of Princeton? Now there is a true university!

 

[pandaczar12]

Perfect. Both teams want a rivalry soo bad, match made in heaven.

As I always say, Rutgers is just "Red Pitt".

Those rascals!

Oh well. It's still one of my favorite Jersey exits.

 

[Nittany Security]

I think NJIT is a better school too.

 

[anon_is9z1n0h3zblb]

I think NJIT is a better school too.

NJIT also has a better basketball program than Rutgers.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Looks like good clean fun, to me. No foul.

Yeah, I think some folks here missed that it was not intended to be mean spirited or inflammatory. We sort of don't have any awareness or sensitivity for something meant to be lighthearted and in 'good fun'. Ah well...

 

[pandaczar12]

NJIT also has a better basketball program than Rutgers.

Hey, but they* made some Fat Sandwich that is so unhealthy that no human should ever consume!

*By "they", I mean some guy who decided to open up a business near Rutgers before the current students were even born, to prey on their already abnormally obese female students.
