Your record was important but selling the appeal of your program was just as big of a factor.
Fred couldn't sell water in the desert if his life depended on it.Yes, Dick Anderson met with us and told the team that we were being considered for both the Cherry bowl and Independence bowl and that Gruninger was on the phone with them. Running the table would have given them a five game winning streak and an 8-3-0 season.
Got so close to going to a bowl game, and there weren't all that many bowls back then. I think there had been some interest from the Independence Bowl, but IIRC, Oregon got the bid because they had been there once and took a decent crowd from Eugene.Agreed. I think there had been some interest from the Independence Bowl, but IIRC, Oregon got the bid because they had been there once and took a decent crowd from Eugene.Graber built up a pretty good team. I was surprised Graber didn't keep it rolling. Recall '93 was a special season for WVU as they went 11-0 and went to NYD bowl before they finally lost. Fred was more concerned with saving a penny here and there.That surprising loss at Cincy was basically what kept us out of a bowl game.
Wake Forest had not been to a Bowl game since 1979, Oregon since 1990. The amount of wins,revenue, donations, etc.lost by his pathetic decisions are still haunting us. Fred said he didn't work for NJ Transit and it wasn't his job to transport students to Philly just to impress bowl scouts. In 1992, there was still a sprinkling of consideration of a good record and merit for post season play. I think there had been some interest from the Independence Bowl, but IIRC, Oregon got the bid because they had been there once and took a decent crowd from Eugene.Thought it was the Cherry Bowl at the old Silverdome?That surprising loss at Cincy was basically what kept us out of a bowl game. They were the BE champs, not Miami, in that first full season of round robin conference play for BE football.Very little support...period. It was to show the bowl reps we would travel as a fanbase and support the team. Chris Dailey was hired as an assistant for UConn in 1985 and was promoted to associate head coach in 1988. We would have been in the Big Ten years ago which means we would have had the Big Ten money years ago, not to mention we would have had Big East TV and crowd money if we hadn’t said no when that league started .And don’t even get me started about not getting the basketball:minor league hockey arena or the Patriots Ballpark right next to The RAC. Fred was more concerned with saving a penny here and there.Fred Gruninger—I don’t even want to hear his name.
In this game it looks like West Virginia was the home team lolInteresting to hear the announcers interview a rep from the Independence Bowl at the end of the game - obviously that didn't end up happening.We ended up 7-4 and won 4 of our last 5 games. Gonzaga the new No. Fred said he didn't work for NJ Transit and it wasn't his job to transport students to Philly just to impress bowl scouts.
He got awful chatty with the fans behind him and got it right back!Total Let Down against CINCY after the GREAT TECH WIN.Graber built up a pretty good team. Nominations are now being accepted for consideration for the Class of 2020 Rutgers Athletics Hall of Fame.
Before 31,337, Wake Forest defeated Oregon 39-35.
I think that number is wayyy too low. Unfortunately the support wasn’t there yet, especially on the academic side. When they fell through, we were considered for the Freedom Bowl in CA, but that also fell through.Gruninger hired Young, Reasso, Grentz, Stringer and Hayes.
Fred said he didn't work for NJ Transit and it wasn't his job to transport students to Philly just to impress bowl scouts.
Oregon has gone to the Independence Bowl I think in '90 or '91 and had brought a good amount of fans, and I think they were pushing that they would bring another large crowd if selected again.
Pat Hobbs, Coach Pike, Coach Schiano, and Coach Goodale are finally overcoming our former golf coach disaster AD.Gruninger hired Young, Reasso, Grentz, Stringer and Hayes. I once posted on here that I thought his decisions have cost Rutgers $100 million. Pat Hobbs, Coach Pike, Coach Schiano, and Coach Goodale are finally overcoming our former golf coach disaster AD. To me that is a pretty good track record.iirc.. we beat WVU 4 years in a row before their current ridiculous streak.Only wins were in '92 and '94 but WVU won big in '93 so there was no streak in that 3 year stretch.
