Not that I give a shit 'bout Rutgers football, or Kansas, but I somehow stumbled across this this brief article in the link below 'bout how bad Rutgers played vs Kansas yesterday is typical of how myopic the view of most “sports writers” (and I use that term loosely 'cause this guy seems like one of those dudes who lives in momma and daddy’s basement) has become. Here ya go....
LAWRENCE, Kan. -- That was as bad as it looks and sounds.
Rutgers football hit a new low on Saturday, grabbing the baton as the worst Power 5 conference team in the country after a 55-14 loss to national laughingstock Kansas at Memorial Stadium.
It was a truly ghastly performance by the Scarlet Knights. Rutgers beat reporter James Kratch and columnist Steve Politi were there to witness it, and they discussed their thoughts in the video above.
Quarterback Artur Sitkowski struggled mightily in the game with three interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns. He's now thrown seven interceptions with three pick-sixes this fall. Head coach Chris Ash didn't commit to him going forward, but also made it sound like a change is not likely.
"We're going to have to evaluate everything that we've been doing, and we're going to evaluate who we're doing it with," Ash said when asked if he might sit the Old Bridge native.
"Art had a great week of practice, and it's not just Art. We couldn't run the ball. We've got to look at our o-line, look at what we're doing. Look at our receivers and see what the options are. See what we can do with what we have.
Sitkowski finished the game 7-for-19 passing for 43 yards before being lifted for redshirt senior Gio Rescigno in the second half. Rescigno went 7-for-12 for 77 yards in mop-up duty.
The score was 55-14 and James Kratch of nj.com writes 'bout how bad the Rutgers QB and coach are! At least the coach included his entire offense needin' further assessment in his answer to the one question Jimmy Kratch printed 'bout their shitty performance. The score was 55-14!! I’m sure the QB and offense sucked aplenty since they only put up 14 and turned the ball over for 2 Kansas scores. But their defense also gave up 55 points to same shitty Gayhawks team that's gone 3-33 over the past 3 seasons!!

| Rutgers might wanna see if this dude can play DEFENSE |
Just a note from the grandstands to Mr. Kratch & Coach Ash: if you give up 55 points to the other team, albeit at least 14 were due to “Old Bridge native” starting QB, Arthur Sitkowski, throwin’ pick sixes (coulda been more but Kratch didn’t have space in his terse article to mention it nor was I interested enough to try to find out), you’d be wise to wring yer hands over more problems than yer offense, and specifically yer QB!

You media guys decided some time ago that the QB, offense, and lightin' up the scoreboard was the sexy, fun stuff we sports watching dumbasses in the “they-get-distracted-by-shiny-objects” public needed to see to keep our ADHD focused for more than 20 seconds. That’s all fine and good but winnin' football games is mostly 'bout blockin' and tacklin' better than the other guys. I think that's gotten lost on the media, and thus, the public in general.
Granted, the rules've changed to make the game less physical and more accessible to puttin' points on the board faster than I change my unmentionables, but givin' up more than half a hundred every time out's gonna make fer a long season fer whoever's defense sux that bad.
While I'm at it (talkin' 'bout winnin' that is), what's the deal with all the sports talk/writer geeks bitchin' 'bout there not bein' enough "elite" teams now in the NCAA? Ya got yer Alabamas, Climpsons, Notre Dames, maybe yer Michigans or Ohio States, and yer poor old undefeated UCFs... but after those prima donnas, everyone else'll be sittin' at home on prom night eatin' bon-bons and twinkies to ease the pain of not havin' a date! I thought Nirvana was everbody finishin' 6-6, goin' to a bowl game, every snowflake gettin' a championship ring, and the school sportin' a trophy in the fieldhouse to show off to those future recruits they're gonna need to finish 6-6 again. Make up yer feeble minds, why don't ya???
