SeeRayRun.com has been launched

SeeRayRun.com is the new, official Rutgers Football site for information about Ray Rice in the coming 2007 season, which could be a very good one -- an historic one -- for him personally, and for the Scarlet Knights as a team.

Bring on that Prancing Leprechaun!

Click here to see who is on Rutgers' football schedule from 2010 through 2016 (at least).

I find it hard to imagine how big the Scarlet Knights/Fighting Irish rivalry could become. Even in their current diminished state, the Dames still have millions of followers in the New York/New Jersey area. It remains a lot easier to find someone wearing the ND than the block R around here, but it's changing fast. With a couple of more Rutgers bowl wins between now and 2010, Notre Dame fans might even find themselves outnumbered in a few (non-Irish) New Jersey bars.

I'm certainly not going to give up my season tickets for Rutgers Stadium (not that I was considering it anyway).

The Current Preseason Rankings (visually enhanced with Scarlet)

Now that Athlon (RU at #10) and Lindy's (RU at #16) have been added to this Wikipedia 2007 poll summary page, the picture of the consensus about the Scarlet Knights' place in the national football scene is becoming clearer. I've added the scarlet coloring to this screenshot here in order to emphasize how everyone (except nationalchamps.net) has our school firmly in the hunt. The average of these seven red boxes gives the Knights a combined preseason ranking of 15.42.
