Rutgers North meets Rutgers South this Friday in Foxborough...

..and the Patriots and Buccaneers are engaging in joint practices at Gillette Stadium leading up to the nationally-televised preseason game. 

Here are the nine Rutgers players on each current roster as displayed on ESPN SportsCenter yesterday:

And, of course, Rutgers South is still coached by Greg Schiano.

I don't care how much he wants it. He can't have Greg Schiano's job!

At yesterday's pre-Superbowl XLII press conference, Patriots' coach Bill Belichick wore his son's snappy scarlet Rutgers lacrosse jacket rather than his normal dishwater-gray Patriots' hoodie.

Is he trying to steal some New Jersey college fans from New Jersey's professional team on the eve of the Superbowl?

Or is he bucking for Greg Schiano's job?

Or was it simply a smart fashion choice? (but isn't he contractually obligated to wear something that's for sale in the NFL shops every time he steps in front of a TV camera?)

---------------------------------------------

Post-Superbowl XLII Update: I guess it's time for Bill to remove the Scarlet uniform and the self-important smirk.

Now he really can't take Greg Schiano's job (18-1! 18-1! 18-1!)
