Rutgers trying Robinson at WR

Mason Robinson will be heading into his junior year, which means it's time the former Somerville High School star was in a position to be a major contributor at Rutgers. This spring, he finally is. Except the position he's in isn't running back, where he has excelled for almost as long as he has been playing football. In one of the most closely watched position switches of spring practice, Robinson, speedy, talented and brimming with playmaking ability, is being tried at wide receiver. On paper, it's a perfect match: The Knights have a logjam at running back and not enough wide receivers. In practice, it appears to be working as well as could have been hoped.

The guy has two last names without a hyphen, a sure sign that he needs to be a WR.

If he was set to be a MAJOR contributor, why was he selected to move?

I need answers.


The guy with the cowboy hat is still creeping me out.

Any chance the Title IX lady will find us here today? Should we tell her we just don't get it?

Rutgers is a little thin at receiver and deep at running back so this move makes sense. Plus Robinson does have some quickness. Dude can really fly in that open field.

We are going to see our posts on some daytime show about how awful men are.

And we will get to laugh at our posts again and her awful haircut, goofy glasses and what-were-you-thinking pantsuit.

I can't wait. Maybe we can get studio tickets.

This is hilarious. Yesterday's screed reminds me of why I sociology class was such a bore. This is going much better.

And the Captain Muncher wrap up was hilarious. God I love being a sexist pig. It's what I'm good at.

I looked at the Title IX's Lady's profile yesterday. It's actually a guy. He was pretty convinced Title IX was tha' shizzle. He didn't go all Gloria Steinim on us but he typed so much he's probably in rehab this morning recovering from carpal tunnel syndrome.

Rosie wouldn't stand a chance with GatorBator & the gang. I'd pay to watch that one unfold!

Brutha on the down low? Multi-cultural Snoop wannabe? Confused WASP thinking "shizzle" was yiddish?
