I'm remember the old days my father (a proud RU alum) taking me to RU games and watching the getting beat by DIV 1AA, DIV2 football teams and even being killed by Duke in 80's at Giants Stadium. Thank god we can put those horrible memories to the grave. My neighbor down the street made the right choice choosing to play for Scarlett Knights football team. I'm so happy for Leonard he came back for another season.

To be honest, when I was there, I wanted them to go 1AA b/c they couldn't compete....Plus, its such a tough academic school that I thought they should focus all their funds towards that...I still kind of do, but at least we are getting what we paid for now.

It's hard to believe tickets were going for about 350 bucks
on ebay for this game...thats right a Rutgers football game,
a couple of years ago you couldn't give the tickets away.

Very few "top" academic schools are competitive in football, but it can be done. Michigan, Ohio State, Texas, Cal, UCLA, etc. are perenially good/great football & top academic state schools. There's no reason the S.U.N.J. can't join them!

if rutgers beats wvu they win the big east and get the bcs game bid. might not be the championship game but a bcs game none the less.

who wins the big east if WV beats Rutgers?
local headline here: "The Dream Slips Away"
aww...feel sorry for the kid who jumped offsides
stormin' the field looks fun, they never let us do that at Bama:(
Ray Rice should win the Heisman!

Some wacky tie breakers involved no doubt. That game would be brutal to win, I'm not hopeful, but to have the shot.....

head of the big east was just on espn radio. if it ends in a 3-way tie or 2 team tie. team with the highest ranking at bowl bid time gets the bcs game bid.

Latest poll just released Rutgers #7 in the AP Poll and #8 in the coaches poll and the BCS hasn't been released. How can Notre Dame move up to #6 and they haven't beat quality team in their last 5 games. You can probably say 6 in a row because they play another powerhouse in Army. They have to be just voting on the Notre Dame name and not looking at who they have beat and plus they struggled against these teams...

Philly.. don't call them SUNJ. :rolleyes:

I was in Section 102, Row 2.

It was the greatest sporting even of my life.

I went there from 99 to 03. I went to one game for 1 quarter my frosh year. At homecoming, we just sat there and drank and never went into the game.

This year it was RIDICULOUS at homecoming - people actually went into the game.

Considering going to the Cincy vs. Rutgers game, I think Rutgers will win, but might be a decent game...

They are practically giving tickets away for $10: you get a ticket to the game, a t-shirt, and a ticket to a UC Basketball game...Not only that, they are going to show the Michigan vs. OSU game on a big screen with discounted food and drinks...That's not too bad considering Cincy is one of the only schools that serves beer at the game...Why else do you think Huggins coached there?
