There's A Late Entry To The List Of 2011's Most Gruesome Injuries
Rutgers kept their improbable bowl win streak alive (it's up to five now) with a 27-13 victory over Iowa State, but it came with a cost: the right leg of linebacker Khaseem Greene, Big East co-Defensive Player of the Year. Greene announced this week he plans to return for his senior season next ye...

Please Welcome Eric LeGrand To The Ranks Of The Sports Media
Paralysis for an athlete is horrible. (It's horrible for everyone. It's probably the worst thing that can happen to a human body. I'm terrified of what I consider a fate worse than death. Consider this post a living will: if I'm paralyzed, just end it for me.) But it's especially cruel for an athlet...

Watch Rutgers Get Absolutely Screwed By The Refs (Updated)
In the Big East tournament, Rutgers was just victimized by a historically bad no-call (that immediately followed up two fairly egregious no-calls against them). Trying to run the clock out, the St. John's player traveled, stepped out of the bounds, and chucked the ball into the seats with nearly t...
The Rutgers-USF Women's Basketball Game Ended With A Scuffle And Two Middle Fingers Last Night
With under a minute to play and her team up five against USF last night, Rutgers forward Chelsey Lee rebounded a missed shot and was promptly fouled — spiritedly — by Bulls center Porche Grant. The 6'2" senior kept advancing, and eventually got thrown out of the game with a flagrant technical foul...
Rutgers Basketball Coach Fired For Heckling Baseball Players?
Word out of New Jersey is that Rutgers basketball coach Fred Hill is about to be fired—not for being a terrible coach, but for yelling at the opposing team at a Rutgers baseball game....

Rutgers Basketball Is Frying Up A "Steak Of Turmoil"
Former Scarlet Knight J.R. Inman played three years for Rutgers coach Fred Hill, but recently published a long Facebook diatribe where he advocated a strong pro-"punching Fred Hill in the face" stance. Why so much hate?...
The PapaJohns.com Bowl Doesn't Deliver To New Jersey
Rutgers University lost $184,000 by traveling to—and winning—the PapaJohns.com Bowl. But I'm sure the marching band had a lovely time in Birmingham. [Star-Ledger, via Bob's Blitz]...
The Worst Bowl Game In The World
As you're reading this, North Carolina State and Rutgers are playing at what has to be the absolute lowest level of collegiate football— a website-sponsored bowl game in Birmingham, Alabama, on a Monday afternoon....
Well, At Least Their Fans Took It Well
It's difficult to pinpoint exactly when the game turned against Rutgers on Thursday ... no wait, here it is. Perhaps ESPN's decision to scan the crowd following Mike Teel's badly-thrown interception was not wise. But this is why we love live TV. If you'd like to savor the moment in video, it follows...
Witness The Pagentry Of The International Bowl
It can't be easy to promote the International Bowl in Toronto. It's Rutgers vs. Ball State, smack in the middle of a bunch of bowls that actually, you know, matter. (Well, kind of.) How do you sell it? How do you make people want to watch?...
Gauging Your Women's Sports Interest
If you're not adequately impressed by the countdown clock ESPN's giving us for the Rutgers-Tennessee women's national championship game tonight — here's something weird; in women's hoops, they have the professional draft the day after the national title game — then here's a sporting event that's pro...
Goodnight, Sweet Knights
Before anyone becomes too caught up in the Who Will Ohio State Play In The BCS Title Game? talk, let's take a moment to lament the end of college football's best storyline, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, who laid an egg against Cincinnati, losing 30-11 and ending any (probably fanciful anyway) dream...
Any Room At The Inn For Rutgers?
The new BCS Standings are out, and it's a happy day for those of us who realize that Rutgers is the only huge story left — outside of Saturday's Ohio State-Michigan game, that is — that's really worth firing one's self up about. The Scarlet Knights are No. 6 in the new BCS poll, which is actually ...

The View From Inside Rutgers Stadium
As we continue to sift through the empty cans next to the Vince Lombardi Memorial Rest Stop off the New Jersey Turnpike, we again salute the Rutgers Scarlet Knights for their historic and jaw-dropping 28-25 win over Louisville last evening. The video above — amazingly, posted within two hours after ...
