We don't fear the turtle.

Was anyone else thrilled when this Saturday's game was moved from Yankee Stadium to Rutgers? Anyone who had attended the Pinstripe Bowl games there knows that the field in the Bronx is no place to play or watch football.

See you in Piscataway in three days! It's time for a third B1G win, especially after so many critics picked Rutgers to go winless in the conference in 2017.

It's been too long since a B1G win

It was finally fun to update the schedule on the Beat Visitor sidebar today.

And it wasn't that close.

Which state are we in?

I hope it seems like a long drive back to Ohio.

Those Buckeyes Were Just Copying the Scarlet Knights (and not only by copying the color scarlet)

There's a great article by Ryan Dunleavy on NJ.com this morning with the title, "Did Rutgers, not Ohio State, start helmet stickers in college football? Here's proof." Not only is it worth reading this piece about large stars added to the front of Rutgers helmets for interceptions in 1961 in its own right, but the timing is perfect with the Buckeyes coming to town in two days.

See you there.

The Losing Streak Is Over

The only two games at Rutgers Stadium that I missed last year were the two wins, so it was great to be there today for the 65-0 win over Morgan State.
To celebrate, here's the band playing 'The Bells Must Ring' before the game.

Game Day Number Two

Game Two Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is the day for the Scarlet Knights to start fulfilling the promise that they demonstrated last Friday night against the University of Washington.

I'm a fan of another green team that bears the nickname "Eagles" and I'm an even bigger admirer of actual eagles, so this week's poster was not the easiest for me to make, but tomorrow afternoon there will be no mixed feelings when Rutgers and Eastern Michigan kick off at 3:30.

Go Knights! See all of you there.

Game Day!

No one I'm related to is allowed to schedule a wedding or a funeral on any of the following dates:
