Kyle Flood is on the twitter hotseat

Another Rutgers home game another terrible performance but the Scarlet Knights. Scarlet Knights fans have taken to twitter to call for his. The poulpular #firefllood. The end is near. 

Not the greatest couple of days for RU

A season ticket hike and three of your top recruits de-committing, it has not been the best couple of days for the Scarlet Knights Nation. It all started on Sunday when four star wide reciever Adonis Jennings decided to decommit, then on Monday it was a triple shot of bad new, first a season ticket increase for fans and then a pair of four star recruits decided to take a walk in Kiy Hester (pictured above) and Lamont Simmons.

I can deal with the season ticket increase, better product is coming in the form of a better schedule.

As for the recruits, its very simple until the NCAA has an early signing period this is going to happen. While Simmons is the one that is  the least surprising, the other two are more concerning. 

Hester has been a leader in trying to get more kids to commit to Rutgers. While Jennings has been one of the longer committed kids in the class. Part of me wonders if these two want to just take visits and will get back in the boat heading the Big Ten. Neither of the two have said they have crossed Rutgers off their list, so there is hope 

Two years ago Kyle Flood was able to hold together a class when Greg Schiano bolted for the Bucs. Let's hope that Flood can do that with this class, if not questions are going to abound. 

Philly Daily News covers better when Birds go down

The Eagles won and the only thing that stinks is that there were no epic Philly News back pages. 

Sixers fan want no part of winning

The race for the number one pick in the 2014 draft is on and Sixers fans care more about bing pong balls than wins. 

The New Mr Perfect

Nick Foles is the new Mr. Perfect. Here is how the Daily News covered it. 

I have my doubts

For the last eight years, I have been a season ticket holder at Rutgers. Yesterday I left Rutgers Stadium with questions about the future of this program following their disaster loss to Houston on Homecoming weekend. 

The biggest question I have and the hardest to answer is very simple: Is Kyle Flood the man to lead to this program into the Big Ten? 

When Flood replaced Greg Schiano two seasons ago, I thought that it was the right move. By appointing Flood, Rutgers was able to hold together the programs first ever top 25 recruiting. Fast forward two years and I wonder if he is the right man. 

Moving from the American Athletic Conference/Big East to the Big Ten is like going straight from Pre-School to Law School. It's the big time, with big time programs and big ego coaches. The later is my biggest concern with Flood. Flood is one of the nicest people in college football and former players have told me as much, but you know what they say about nice guys they tend to finish last. 

Does Flood have what it takes to be the future of this program. We might never know until its too late. 

Homecoming Disaster

It was homecoming weekend at Rutgers and Houston was not the best guess. The Cougars destroyed the Knights, here are some of the sights from it.

Yesterday was Rough

Yesterday was a tough day for Eagles fans. The birds offense looked terrible in their loss to the Cowboys. Here is how the Philly Daily News covered the fun. 

Marcus Vick hates Nick Foles

Foles or Vick: The Great Debate

Eagles win and all anyone wants to talk about is who the starting QB is. 

Long Strange Trip for Tom Savage

I remember sitting in Rutgers Stadium Sept. 12, 2009 waiting for Tom Savage to make his debut for the Scarlet Knights.

Fast forward a couple of years and a couple of different colleges, Savage is now considered a potential first rounder in the NFL Draft. This story ran on NFL.com: Tom Savage: The best QB prospect you've never heard of.  While I'm happy for Savage, I just wish he would have done all of this while at Rutgers. He was the highest rated quarterback ever to come to Rutgers.

I just wish it would have all worked out better on the Banks. Blame for it not working out has to be shared between Savage and then head coach Greg Schiano.

First Place Birds

The Eagles beat the hapless Giants to take over first place in the NFC East. Here is how the Philly Daily News covered the events. 

The worst the Eagles Defense gets the better the Headline get

The Eagles defense is basically Swiss cheese and bad Swiss cheese. The Philly Daily News hits another home run with its front and back pages following the Birds loss to the Broncos. 

Rutgers is not afraid of the SEC

This is something that you don't see very often. Rutgers has a three game winning streak against the big bad SEC. The last time they lost to an SEC school was in 2002 when Tennessee beat them 35-14

Professional Tailgating: Roasted Hogs

So the Big Bad SEC came to Rutgers Saturday and Rutgers sent a message: we can play football too. Rutgers beat Arkansas 28-24 in a thrilling game.

A welcome home gift for Big Red

The Philly Daily News hit another home run with their front and back pages covering the Eagles loss to Big Red and the Chiefs.

Schiano to Texas, it doesn't sound that far fetched

There are two dumpster fire currently raging in football: one at the University of Texas and the other one former Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano has gotten him self into in Tampa. Could both be the answer to each other programs.

Texas is a mess right now. Mack Brown has seemed to lost control of the program and the defense can't stop anyone. While in Tampa Bay it's much of the same for Schiano. Professional players think Schiano style is too over the top and too restrictive.

Could Schiano be the answer to Texas problem, while he doesn't have any connection to the state, he could be a huge winner there. Schiano built Rutgers into a national program and Texas could be an easier job for him. He would be the perfect fit, the only thing that he would have to do is hire an offensive or defensive coordinator like Clemson OC Chad Morris to help navigate the complicated Texas High School scene. 

We all know that Texas is going to make a run at Muschamp and Saban, but if they don't come calling, Texas could do a lot worst then Schiano.

Could a merged TNA and ROH be a force

Today on Busted Open on Sirius XM, they discussed the idea of TNA and Ring of Honor combining and the force that they would be. While combining the combining the two organizations might not challenge WWE for commercial appeal it would give wrestling fans an incredible threat. 

Here is a look at what a supercard featuring the two promotions (it doesn't look that bad.

- Main Event

Bully Ray vs. Kevin Steen

Jeff Hardy vs. Jimmy Jacobs (I'm a huge Jimmy Jacobs mark)

Samoa Joe vs. Tommaso Ciampa

Kurt Angle vs. Michael Bennet 

James Storm vs. Adam Cole 

Bad Influence (Kazarian & Daniels) and vs. reDragon 

- Television Championship Match

Joseph Parks vs. Matt Taven

Now that is a card that I would pluck down $50 to watch on PPV. There are quality matches up and down the card. Love the Hardy/Jacobs idea.
