What the fuck is going on in this picture? I watched it happen live last night and I honestly still can't explain it, but let me try my best. This picture was taken after Gary FUCKING Nova had thrown 4 interceptions and somehow, SOMEHOW, still not thrown the game away completely. To be honest, it looks like he's shooting a fadeaway jumpshot. A one legged, fadeaway pass surrounded by 3 defenders. Not a recipe for success. The odds go down drastically when it occurs 7 fucking yards past the line of scrimmage. Passing the ball past the line of scrimmage is so goddamn stupid that they won't even let you attempt it in video games. They figure why waste a button on the controller when no one would be dumb enough to use it. Essentially I am saying that an 8 year kid playing Madden is smarter than Gary Nova. At the very least has better decision making skills. Even the Rutgers radio announcers were speechless after the play. People who are paid to make comments on everything didn't know how to explain the irrationality of the play. Today, I am a woman scorned. A battered wife, if you will. Like most young adults, I have been in bad relationships before. However, none of them, on my laundry list of bad decisions, come close to the 4 year on again-off again relationship I have shared with Gary Nova. Textbook terrible relationship. We all know how it goes. The person has some redeeming qualities, but generally the cons outweigh the pros. Something about them makes you stay, although you know you shouldn't and it is just a matter of time before they break your heart. As the saying goes, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me". What that saying doesn't answer is what if you fool me 37 times? That's the point I have gotten to. Watching Nova run 3 miles past the line of scrimmage then launching a pass to no one was the equivalent of walking in on a significant other who you are skeptical of. You're pretty sure it is gonna happen at some point, but it's always surprisingly painful when it does. People claim that you can't know what it is like to be in an abusive relationship unless you have been in one. I completely agree. Everyone is making a big deal about the Ray Rice situation while I am here getting my heart spit on by Gary Nova. I would much rather be Janay Rice than me today. I would take Gary Nova knocking me unconscious in an elevator 100 times out of 100 rather than watch him play quarterback in a big spot. Wouldn't even think twice about it. Give me physical pain over emotional pain every day and twice on Saturday's. This isn't the last time I am going to have to endure it either. Clearly Gary Nova has naked pictures of Rutgers Coach Kyle Flood. It's either that or every backup quarterback is color blind. It is a minor miracle that someone as consistently inconsistent as Gary Nova has started at quarterback for the better part of 4 years at the D1 NCAA level. Truthfully, it feels like its been a decade, and the results have probably taken a solid decade off my lifespan. I graduated college 5 years ago, and I have senioritis. I need this year to end. I need Gary to move on to better things. Or just different things, for that matter. I hope Gary disappears into the wind never to be seen again. It's like when you delete your ex from Facebook or Instagram. You just want to forget their existence and never have those all too familiar feelings again if you happen to pass them on the street. If Gary Nova disappeared tomorrow there might be 3 people in the world that would actually be out looking for him. And I can say with 98.5% certainty that none of those people would be from the Rutgers football team. On second thought, every single defensive back on opposing Big Ten teams would probably be out looking for him. Gary Nova is the human embodiment of herpes. He is always there. Sometimes he's not that bad, but when he is you are always surprised at how awful he can be. Rutgers recruiting should be chocked full of quarterbacks. The man that follows Gary as the starting quarterback of this team is going to have the easiest job in the world. The bar is so low. If he is a mediocre game manager Rutgers fans everywhere will be verbally sucking his cock at every turn. Hayden Rettig, transfer from LSU, is able to play next year. I have already convinced myself that he is the next Joe Montana. It helps me to keep from crying during bleak moments like Saturday night. He doesn't have to be though. All he has to do is not throw 5 fucking interceptions in a big game. I am convinced that I could do that. I probably also wouldn't have more than 5 completions, but I sure as hell wouldn't have 5 picks. To speak to that point, If Gary Nova completed one more pass on 3rd and 6 with 3 minutes left I am writing a blog about how Gary Nova is a hero. That's not even a joke. The bar is so low that I would be bowing before the feet of a quarterback with 4 picks who just happened to win the game by blind, dumb luck. One day removed it is hard for me to say what is a stronger emotion. My hatred of Gary Nova or my empathy for every other rostered player on Rutgers. Everyone else battled their ass off last night. The widely criticized defense had 5 sacks and held a great quarterback to 6 points through 59 minutes of play. Make no mistake, Rutgers' quarterback play is the sole reason they lost that game, and every other player deserved to be celebrating a win into the wee hours of the morning last night. Instead, they had to be in the same locker room as a player responsible for a loss in the biggest game of their careers….while I was outside pounding depression beers. Sidenote: I came to the realization last night that there is only one outcome of my teams' sporting events that doesn't make me want to get bombed. That's a tie. If my team wins a game it's supposed to win, I want to celebrate. If my team loses a game it's supposed to win I want to drink until I don't feel feelings, and my team is always supposed to win. That's a fact. Also, absolutely nothing gratifying about loser beers. It's like pre gaming freshman year of college, except it takes longer and you always regret it the day after. People that know me know that I have gone above and beyond in my support of Nova this offseason. Unfortunately, the "Come On Gary"/COG campaign has come to an end. I can't, in my heart of hearts, do it anymore. I can't be biased for him anymore. I can't be leading ironic campaigns supporting him anymore simply because I know for better or worse he is the quarterback. I just have to stomach the rest of the season, continue to root for Rutgers, and hope the remaining days of Gary go by quicker than expected. Honestly, watching Penn State walk out of High Point Solutions Stadium with a win, on what could have been a magical night, didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would. Sad? Yeah. Depressing? Sure. But not nearly as devastating as I would have imagined. Rutgers led 10-0 at halftime and I had a knot the size of Nova's interception numbers in my stomach. Why? Because every true Rutgers fan seen this before. We have been in the big games, wondering if Nova can come through. Different movie, different plot, same ending. Gary Nova is to big football games what Seth Rogan is to comedies, and generally both result in self depreciating hilarity. I liken last night's experience to watching a car drive the wrong way down the highway. It was thrilling, but it was inevitably going to end tragically. It's these moments in life when I realize that, first of all, I am absolutely an irrational sports fan. I care wayyyy too much about the outcome of something I am not personally involved in. Second of all, I don't have any suicidal tendencies. If I had one ounce of suicidal in my blood I would have dove into a swimming pool full of razorblades last night. It's not hard to figure out why it has been awhile since I have been in a serious relationship. It is impossible to maintain a relationship while simultaneously having Gary Nova as your quarterback*. No shoulders should have to endure the brunt of that emotional workload. *worst excuse ever Don't fucking look at me like that. Crocodile tears.

CBS- “On behalf of Rutgers University and the athletic department, we would like to apologize for the regrettable actions of a handful of Rutgers fans on Saturday that do not convey the message of good, competitive spirit that we look forward to having with our new Big Ten rival, Penn State University. Some of the signage and T-shirts that we have been made aware of were both inappropriate and offensive." Absolutely fucking despise this move by Hermann. Let's be clear. Hermann was hired at the Rutgers athletic director for one reason, and one reason only. Because she's a cut throat bitch that will do anything to form a successful athletic program. I mean that as a compliment. As a female AD she is already behind the 8 ball when it comes to respect. You would be lying if you say otherwise. In a business where she deals with male higher ups almost exclusively she better be as stone cold as a Steve Austin stunner. I don't want her out powdering asses and kissing babies. Give me the Julie Hermann that said it would be 'great' if the Star Ledger went out of business shortly after they laid off 167 people (article below). http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index.ssf/2014/04/julie_hermann_it_would_be_great_if_the_star-ledger_went_out_of_business.html The thing that bothers me about this is that this was not Julie's call. I know it wasn't. This apology came from up top, and is based on the rocky relationship Hermann has with New Jersey newspaper, The Star Ledger. The Star Ledger has made a living off of dismantling every move Rutgers has ever made. While some of the Universities' moves over the last couple years have been questionable to say the least. There is certainly a heavy anti-Rutgers bias within their writing. Was Hermann acting in poor taste when she told a journalism class that she it would be great for the Star Ledger to meet a untimely demise. Absolutely. Was it a statement that was unprovoked? Absolutely not. Hermann is the Rutgers AD, and IT WOULD BE GREAT for the school if the Star Ledger kicked the can. The state of New Jersey already has a bad enough reputation without its main newspaper outlet dragging the State University through the mud at every turn. What she said was calculated, bold, and most of all, TRUE. Thus furthering my implication that, in the most positive sense of the word, Julie Hermann is kind of cunty. So basically now we are apologizing for petty shit, because the Star Ledger doesn't want to hear the truth. Julie Hermann doesn't like The Star Ledger, and thinks newspaper is a dying media. Sorry to offend you guys, but you just laid off 167 people roughly 6 months ago. Not only are you a dying media, but you are one that Julie Hermann has the right to hate. It is in the Universities' best interest, as well as her best interest, to dislike the the bullshit your paper spews on a weekly basis. Saturday was not a day to be criticized, especially by a New Jersey paper. Despite the actions of a few Rutgers fans (and Penn State fans for that matter) the atmosphere in Piscataway was something to behold. It was our first glimpse into what an addition to the Big Ten can do for this school. The stadium was packed and loud, and the entire campus was buzzing. Saturday was easily the best atmosphere the state of New Jersey has ever experienced for a sporting event, and this is a state that hosted the Super Bowl less than a year ago. The money and prestige that the Big Ten conference brings to the University, and thus the State of New Jersey, is the story that should have been covered come Sunday morning. The fact that, despite a loss, Rutgers proved what many thought was impossible, that they will hold their own in their new conference, is also an angle that should have been taken. Boo fucking hoo. A handful of Rutgers students were less than friendly to a fan base that has openly stood by those responsible for a child molestation scandal? Wow, shocker of the fucking century. Despite what some may think, this isn't a New Jersey being 'Jersey" thing. I openly acknowledge that making light of an awful situation isn't the classiest of decisions. Fuck that though, this is major college football we are talking about . In case you have been living under a rock, it is a well known fact that fans of major college football programs are rough around the edges. We're talking bout college kids. If the AD had to apologize for every disgraceful thing I did in college she would have been my own personal publicist. Fact is, It is a very select group of individuals that are being apologized for. I had the chance to purchase a "Beat Ped State" t-shirt while I was tailgating and decided against it, despite how the mere site of it made me giggle. I was at, or around, High Point Solutions Stadium from 10am until game time, and after the game until the wee hours of morning. I was hanging out in the trenches all day and witnessed only a handful of altercations with Penn State fans over the 16 hour stretch I was there. Only a handful of altercations between these two fan bases should be applauded, not ridiculed. It could have been much, much worse. Did Penn State apologize when students took the street last week chanting, disgraced former leader, Joe Paterno's name? Fuck. And. No. You know why? Because Pennsylvania newspapers support their State University. They don't pick apart the actions of the minority (the ones chanting in the street) and claim it as the norm. Let's not act like a Rutgers' student was the first person ever to print a "Beat Ped State" shirt. Get the fuck out of my face. Anyone that truly believes that can go piss in the wind. I'm not sure who the person responsible for posting pictures of people wearing such t-shirts on the Rutgers football Facebook page is , but that should be the only person apologizing. And honestly, so what? It's fucking Facebook. Cry me a river. The pussification of America is alive and well, and this less than sincere apology is proof positive of that. http://deadspin.com/penn-state-students-celebrate-lifted-sanctions-chant-j-1632254408 Deadspin- Earlier today, the NCAA lifted the sanctions placed on Penn State's football program after the Jerry Sandusky scandal. The team will be bowl-eligible and have its scholarships returned. Tonight, Penn State students celebrated by meeting at Old Main, and chanting the late head coach Joe Paterno's name, among other things. You know what? As much as I hate Penn State, I really don't give a fuck that the sanctions were lifted. I don't know why they were lifted. Apparently as "acknowledgement of the universities' efforts". What exactly does that mean? Their efforts not to play in the mud anymore? Listen, I get it, The punishments penalized the wrong people. The scandal had nothing to do with the members of the football team. However, Joe is dead and Jerry is in prison so someone had to pay for decades of corruption and cover up. The reaction to the news, however, is EXACTLY why the sanctions shouldn't have be lifted. The whole fucking university needs therapy. Students lining the streets chanting "Joe Paterno" and "Where's our statue?" Are you fucking serious? If the penalties were to teach the cult of Penn State a lesson then clearly they have failed. There are still Penn Staters out there that truly believe Joe Paterno, the cult leader and 'guiding light' of the university, did nothing wrong. In what world is turning a blind eye to child rape not wrong? Not only did he let it happen, he let it happen in PSU football facilities. It's fucking nuts, there is absolutely no rationale what so ever to continue to have an allegiance to Joe Paterno. You would think he raised all these little fuckers. I'm half surprised they don't call him Daddy. Please tell me. I have to know. What happens on that campus? Do they mix in hallucinogenics in the beer brewing process? Are you required to "drink the Kool-Aid" during orientation? It's like Hitler University over there. How do they convince a majority of their students to follow the teachings of Daddy Joe, despite his obvious involvement in child rape? Your statue is in a landfill you cockbags. It represents children whose lives have been ruined. I would love to have a sit down chat with one of these kids that was out there cheering. I need to hear, with my own ears, their explanation. Paterno himself said he should have done more, the Freeh report clearly shows he knew about Jerry's skeletons way before they were made public. At what point do you say, "Okay, Paterno was a terrible person, but I still love my college." That's all I need to hear. The fucking gall of these kids. You give them their team back, and they instantly make you want to take it away again. At what point do we just napalm the entire university and the area surrounding it. Genocide of Nittany Lion nation is clearly the only answer. Their parents have to have disowned them right? My future children are welcome to attend Penn State if they so choose *, but the second they mention Joe Paterno's name in a positive light they are spending the foreseeable future in a wheelchair. *to pay their entire way through college, and find a new father I understand being loyal to your college or university. When former Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice was caught on tape throwing basketballs at players and calling them "faggots" I didn't think it was that big of a deal. However, you can't just blindly justify every transgression that takes place just because you went to school there. Ray Rice is the biggest professional star in Rutgers' history. Easily responsible for the two biggest wins in school history. The second I saw the first tape of him dragging his future wife's lifeless body out an elevator I tossed my Ray Rice jersey right in the trash. It's called being a fucking human being. The people you choose to support and associate with say a lot about you. So when you are standing in the street cheering for a man who is known for a pedophilia scandal you might as well be holding a 'I <3 Little Boys' sign. Let's make no mistake about it. Joe Paterno's legacy is that scandal. Maybe not to the morons that still worship him as some sort of hero, but to the rest of the rational thinking public. Usually this is a case where I would say "I hope he dies". Being that he is already dead I wish he had to live longer with those sins on his conscience. I would pay a decent chunk of change to spit in that man's face before they lowered him into the ground to rot for eternity. Go take a look at that piece of shit. Before the scandal broke he just seemed like an old senile fuck. Now when you look at him he looks like the creepiest piece of shit I have ever seen. The biggest surprise in all of this is that that motherfucker wasn't diddling kids himself. Saturday, Around 9am, I will show up to the Rutgers vs. Penn State game. As if I wasn't already fired up enough for it, I now have this recent news to fuel my hate. Call it classless. Call it tasteless. Call it whatever the fuck you want. If you think I am above every Sandusky joke in the book you are sorely mistaken. The 'We Are…' chant is begging for a remix, and I've got bars for days. By the time that game starts my first beer will be but a distant memory. Any remaining voice I still have left will be used to publicly shame Joe-Joe's zombies. I fully expect to wake up in either a hospital, a prison, or drifting toward a white light (let a man dream). Regardless of the outcome….. I, however, have no doubt the boys will show up to play, because this Scarlet blood runs deeper than any pedophilia scandal ever could. It's time to bend the Nittany Lions over the barrel and make them pay for the sins of their forefathers. You can have all the recruits you want, because come Saturday, the Scarlet Knights are gonna show you where the wild goose goes…
Child Rape Free Since 1766. Go Knights! Come on Gary! COG Life. |
