If you build it, they will come!

There will be more fans at R House on Monday than there were on 6 Nov 2006.

Again, not to beat dead horses, but it would be great to hear the lamentations and gnashing of teeth among the Stadium expansion naysayers in response to the facts that 1) the Rutgers Stadium expansion is going to be finished in time for the season opener, and now 2) the official announcement has been made that all 52,454 seats in the expanded Stadium are sold out for its christening in two days at the game between our Scarlet Knights and the Cincinnati Bearcats.
And I can't wait to celebrate by our mass cretinism by dancing the Cretin Hop! I have heard a rumor that you may be hearing it before the game starts. So get ready for your new Stadium chant:
". . . 1,2,3,4 cretins wanta hop some more . . . 4,5,6,7 all good cretins to heaven* . . ."

*Heaven, a.k.a, Rutgers Stadium on a game day.

"gotta keep it beatin for all the hoppin cretins" -- The Song of the Day

Not to keep beating a dead horse, but I can't get the bitter last line of the last entry on the Rutgers 1000 blog out of my head --"... in our eyes, cretinism has triumphed."-- especially since it immediately brought to mind this catchy little number from my college years on the banks, The Ramones' "Cretin Hop". This 1'46" video of the song was recorded at CBGBs in New York City (home of the Syracuse Orange) in 1977.
Enjoy the nostalgia.
I don't know where he's going to have his equipment set up, or how the expanded Rutgers Stadium is going to be arranged for pregame activities on September 7, but DJ Yoshi has announced on Twitter that he'll be DJing Rutgers football games again this year. I think he might get some of us cretins hoppin' and celebrating our triumph with this ditty cranking through the scoreboard's new sound system. Consider that a formal request.
