Rutgers Scarlet Knights (official troll of PedSU)

This question was posed in the B1G men’s basketball thread but let’s ask here.

This is the fifth year of Rutgers in the B1G. I ask that you post your vote for the most noteworthy accomplishment athletically by Rutgers across all sports since joining.

Didn't they beat Michigan in football at some point?

Edit - Yep: 26-24 in 2014.

Also, they've averaged 1 point per year against Ohio State the past 3 years.

Oh, SHI? Cue Clay Davis because Rutgers announces new football naming rights deal for what will now be known as SHI Stadium

Cue Clay Davis because the birthplace of college football has a new name and fans probably can’t wait to make fun of it.



Rutgers announced on Friday that they have agreed to a new stadium naming rights deal with SHI International Corp. that will see the Scarlet Knights’ home rebranded over the next seven years into SHI Stadium. The venue was officially known as HighPoint.com Stadium last year but the naming rights deal with what most know as High Point Solutions expired this offseason.

“As the State University of New Jersey, we are thrilled to partner with SHI,” Rutgers athletic director Pat Hobbs said in a statement. “Headquartered right here in Somerset, SHI proudly embraces its strong Rutgers ties. As we celebrate the 150th Anniversary of college football here at the Birthplace, we are delighted to partner with a company that shares in our Relentless Pursuit of Excellence. This partnership will positively impact athletics, the university and the New Jersey community.”

I wonder if Rutgers's AD decided on his own to incorporate the capitalized phrase "Relentless Pursuit of Excellence" into as many public emails as possible, or whether someone told him he had to do it.

I look at the athletic department results and wonder if he actually knows what that phrase means.

LOOK: Rutgers unveils uniforms honoring 150th season of college football

You just knew these were coming.

As you may or may not know, this year marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of the sport of college football. The first game ever played was between Rutgers and Princeton (then the College of New Jersey) in New Brunswick, NJ, in 1869.

Friday, ahead of the start of that 150th season, Rutgers and adidas unveiled what they are calling the Scarlet Knights’ strategy uniforms to honor the birthplace of college football. The uniforms will first be worn for the Oct. 19 home game against Minnesota.

From the school’s release on the details of the new duds:
  • The jersey’s colorway features a rich, “Victory Red” base and brown pants, showcasing an authentic look that pays homage to the 1869 era.
  • Rutgers original “R” logo is sewn into the upper center of the jersey.
  • The uniforms will be supported by black gloves with a throwback “R” logo on the palm.
  • The head-to-toe look is completed with black cleats that feature 1869-inspired lace jewels.
  • For the first time in Rutgers’ history, long sleeves are added to the jersey.
  • “1869” is tonally knit into the sleeve as a surprise detail for the players.
  • Fabric features a ribbed-knit throughout for added durability.
  • A “150” patch is embroidered onto the chest to celebrate the anniversary.


All-time record 652–659–42 (.497)

Just sayin': I wouldn't have guessed that their all time record was that good.
