I’m still in shock that Rutgers beat Louisville 28-25 last night to be 9-0. It will be interesting to see how the last three games end up. But at least I can be happy with Rutgers, given that my undergrad Colorado Buffalo’s are 1-9 so far.
But espn did have some nice details of Rutgers (and reminds me of CU of years before and after my time there).
Between then and now, history had essentially ceased when it came to Rutgers football. The Scarlet Knights have played in two bowl games and were largely considered one of the worst teams in the country. For longer than anyone in the New York metropolitan area can remember, Rutgers set the standard for football futility, going 0-11 in 1997, 1-10 in 1999 and 1-11 as recently as 2002.
I also find it interesting that Rutgers had the first college football game played, which Hoboken had the first professional baseball game. Lots of sports history in these parts.
