The Scarlet beat the White 31-3 on Saturday (here's the video to hold you until Labor Day)

Here are some film clips and photos from Saturday afternoon's 2009 Scarlet-White Game at Rutgers Stadium in beautiful Piscataway.
Once again, it was beautiful weather for the Spring game -- you didn't need to wear anything more than your free scarlet t-shirt. The Scarlet beat the White 31-3 after we watched the Rutgers Lacrosse team fall to Penn State by a score of 9-4 in the 11:30am opener (which explains the yellow lines you may notice on the field).
This video features film clips and shots of quarterbacks Domenic Natale and D.C. Jefferson, wide receiver Tim Brown, kicker San San Te, running back Joe Martinek, the ongoing stadium construction, the on-field postgame autograph session, and more. The background music -- variations on our Alma Mater "On the Banks of the Old Raritan" -- was recorded specifically for this three-minute video. The guitar was played by R. Mumma, but if you want to play along at home the bass and drums are courtesy of a Fender G-Dec Junior (ballad setting in the key of A).
See you at the next game at R House on Labor Day versus Cincinnati!

We'll be looking out at more than a hole in the ground at this year's Scarlet--White Game.

Kenny Britt Is Meeting With the Jets & Giants

Here are some details: http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index.ssf/2009/04/former_rutgers_wr_kenny_britt.html

How great would it be to see Kenny move up the Turnpike to continue his career with one of New Jersey's two pro franchises? To move from high school in Bayonne to college in New Brunswick to the pros in East Rutherford? As we asked a few months ago, who needs Plaxico (or T.O. or Ocho Cinco or any of the other interchangable preening professional prima donnas) when you can get Kenny Britt?
