Rutgers Scarlet Knights (official troll of PedSU)

48-21; could easily have been 70 but also it's UMass...
Many self inflicted wounds... at least 5 unsportsmanlike penalties
At least 2 TDs called back
2 Ints in the end zone
Lacks size
QB is accurate and throws a very catchable ball... but not with zip.. which makes me think INT prone; QB is a big boy
A number of folks on the offensive side that are playmakers.. albeit small guys; Pacheco, Blackshear. Melton come to mind; OL does not help
A number of DBs that are playmakers; not just looking to make breakups; they want the ball
Tyshon Fogg is a good LB
Good kicker
Kick/punt blocking were sub par for Rutgers
Doesn't have the same speed as usual
Special teams were not impressive
A number of Big 10 writers attended and were tweeting during game... one predicting 5 wins based on what he saw... hmmmm.. dunno; that means 2 BIG wins
This QB and kicker might surprise a couple teams; if the WRs improve, maybe

In my 15 years following Rutgers... I do have multiple children .. Rutgers has always had exceptional speed... just not the size...
Team is usually a composite of Florida and NJ kids... thus fast... like the McCourty bros...

Football speed... vs Phila 'Gotta outrun the cops speed'...

BTN is extremely happy they added Rutgers and Maryland because the addl TV revenue from adding NY and DC metros has been an immense boost to everyone's coffers..

The $26.34 addl that came from adding Omaha metro was used for 3 addl jockstraps per team

I’ll have to take your word for it that the ad revenue is based only on the number of TV sets or households in each market.

Not sure I would do it that way if I were in their shoes though, because I’d bet dollars to donuts that the actual number of hours BTN programming watched between the two is not that different, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the total number of hours watched in Nebraska is higher.

Note that I’m not saying hours per person, I mean the total hours watched for the state. This already assumes that the hours per person in Nebraska is astronomically higher, which shouldn’t be particularly controversial

Edit: Looks like Rutgers added 20 times as many people as Nebraska in terms of tv market. Might be closer to 15, but let’s call it 20. I would not be at all surprised if the average Nebraskan watches 20 hours (or more) of BTN for every hour watched in NYC/NJ. That would be factor into my decision making process if I’m a tv or ad exec.
