Typical Rutgers... everyone gets all excited, new renovations to the stadium, national TV audience, chance to make a statement against the defending Big East champs... and in typical Rutgers fashion, they lose 49-15. Some things will just never, ever change.

(I know I am a lil too anti-Rutgers for my own good... but it was force-fed on me for three seasons... it failed
..... and the smug factor is absurd in their fans)

It's too bad... as a born and raised Jersey native, I'd really like to see Rutgers succeed consistently. But that will probably never happen.

The coaching was highly suspect. The defense had absolutely no idea how to defend against the cincy offense. someone was open on every play, and it was the worst defensive showing i've ever seen. Our offense had 9 straight first down runs. Savage is obviously better/more poised than Natale, but the coaches couldn't see that? And Jabu still gets to play? This loss is on the coaches. There is no way a defense looks that bad if they are prepared for the game.

+1 metallidevils on the _efensive showing and obvious LAC of prep.
But now we should see Savage
the rest of the season, and yes, I think Jabu and Natale will still get 3 plays a game or a series of downs. They are seniors.

Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is!
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

I wonder what kind of turn out there will be for the next game after that terrible loss.
Langenbrunner is #1
Devils + The Prudential Center = The Stanley Cup
Martin Brodeur gets win #500 11-17-07
Martin Brodeur gets win #552 3-17-09. I was there.
Doc Emrik's "they're josling in the corner", Elias' team record 365th assist, and Devils' 12th Dec 2008 8-5 win over the Rags. Clarkson's "Gordie Howe hat-trick" against the panthers on 2-28-09. The "A" Line. Marty's 100th career shutout. Zubrus's game winner over the Rags (09/22/09).

the Nets???
and no I never spent a DIME on those Rutgers tickets
though I did get to see a Coyotes and Leafs game as the +1
I just got annoyed at the force-feed treatment and absurd level of smugness and over-rating of the program by it's own fan base....
don't get me wrong it's nifty that they actually get to a who-cares Bowl and run the score up on some equally trashy mid-tier team, and yes it's a big step up for a program that I've seen half their history's home wins in three seasons... but the way the general perception was from all the people I dealt and interacted with when I was there (and trust me it was plenty to avoid my GF at the time
)... they felt they were the next up and coming powerhouse in college football which was simply put.... retarded!!! And the attitude annoyed me much like the "Hi I'm a Mac" commercials do!

People kept showing up last year after the 1-5 start and a similar loss to Carolina so they'll probably keep coming again

Why is this a big deal? At least they generate some excitement. I've seen the Devils win 3 stanley cups, and they still get no respect even in their own state. Part of the positive perception is from the rutgers athletics marketing which has done a fantastic job. some of those guys should be hired by the devils.

I know we were playing a high school team, but Savage was very impressive. He'll be our QB for the next 4 years.

it was good to get to a game. Savage looked good, should of thrown two picks tho but one thing i noticed is that he looks very comfortable in the pocket. looks real good for a freshman in his first game as a starter

they seem to trust Brooks more than Martinek now or at least using him more and more as the game goes on. Joe's been struggling a little in the beginning while Brooks looked much better yesterday

Another sloppy win. Defense looked great during the first 3 quarters at least, and running game improved a bit.
