Oops, a little blogger Tourette Syndrome there. Johnny should try and save that for Saturday.

Rutgers cleans house

Both Athletic Director Julie Hermann and and football head coach Kyle Flood have been relived of their duties, duties if they'd done better they'd still have. The letter President Robert Barchi sent released can be read here and NJ.com has given grades to both Hermann and Flood in their tenure and those can be found be clicking the links on their names.

Rutgers has already hired Patrick Hobbs as AD. Hobbs is currently a Seton Hall dean of law.

It's the Saturday Night Scoreboard Show!

So much on the line on Rivalry Saturday, let's see who passed the tests...

Maryland 46
Rutgers 41
The Star-Ledger indicated that when RU had a 31-13 lead over the Terps at halftime they might just be one of those 5-7 teams invited to a bowl game. The Scarlet Knights must have heard that because they managed to dump the game to Maryland somewhere in the swamps of Jersey. Buh bye Kyle & Julie

Michigan State 55
Penn State 16
Sparty wins the B1G East Division title over Urban Khakis and face Iowa in a steel cage death match next week for a coveted playoff spot

Alabama 29
Auburn 13
Alabama's giant running back Derrick Henry simply assaulted the Auburn defense on FOURTY SIX carries for 271 yards and a TD

Stanford 38
Notre Dame 36
The Irish can forget the playoffs as Touchdown Jesus can't block a late Stanford FG

Florida State 27
Florida 2
Yeeeeeah, Florida is gonna stop Alabama in the SEC title game next week....NOT

Northwestern 24
Illinois 14
If you knew Northwestern was 10-2 raise your hand. Not many, not many

Georgia 13
Georgia Tech 7
Evolution 0

Slippery Rock 41
Assumption 39
You know what happens when you assume

Chattanooga 50
Fordham 20
Fordham crashes hard out of the playoffs

The Jersey City Desk Game of the Week®

Rutgers football Gameday!

A beautiful late November day dawns for the Senior Day festivities in Piscatawy today and Rutgers, if you can believe this, still has something to play for at 4-7. If the Scarlet Knights win today vs the god-awful Maryland Terrapins then Rutgers at 5-7 COULD go to a bowl game. Division 1 football is seemingly void of, going into the last week of the regular season, enough 6 win teams to fill all the bowl games. The experts are saying a couple three 5-7 teams might sneak into a bowl game which right there tells you we have far too many bowl games.

Rutgers will be playing for the last time in front of head coach Kyle Flood who is expected to be fired as soon as Sunday along with Rutgers AD Julie Hermann. In Johnny's opinion both need to go for Rutgers to get back on track and in Hermann's case not just football. So yes, RU should come out and it's our guess they will beat Maryland who is already playing for an interim coach, and move to 5-7. Will RU get a bowl invite in which case? Other than it would give underclassmen another couple weeks of practice under their belts going into 2016 in Johnny's opinion 5-7 teams don't go to bowl games.

Fearless Forecast
Rutgers 24
Maryland 10

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE FLAMINGOS!

Johnny thinks we're all lucky that when Marty McFly went Back to the Future he didn't interact with The Famingos in any way or we may never have had this all-time classic love song. The great part of this song is you can sing the backup vocals and be as cool as lead PROVIDED you get your backup dance steps right otherwise you're just going to look like a toolbag. The Flamingos and 'I Only Have Eyes For You'

Do bop sha bop

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE STANDELLS!

We here at the Jersey City Desk would like to send this one out to all our brave and patient friends in Hoboken and parts of Jersey City who had to go through all they had to endure this past week with Suez Water forgetting where they put their tools. Yes yes we know the song is about Boston but tonight let's use our imaginations and pretend it's about Hoboken and Newport. The Standells with 'Dirty Water'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with NEKO CASE!

Beautiful warm holiday weekend evenings are to be met with joyful music and thus we send you out the door tonight with Neko Case and a song that if you can't dance to you're dead. 'Honky Tonk Hiccups' wrapping up another Music Series.
