I think this is a silly thread, and I regret starting it. The reasons I casually posted it on Sunday are:
1) I like Rutgers Al a lot, and think every fan base should have an Al
2) He had predicted the results of this game accurately, while I thought privately that if your team won, it would be a close, ugly game (I was completely wrong, and happy to be)
3) I'd just returned from the beach, where I ran two miles, spent a significant amount of time in the ocean, and consumed two twelve-ounce cans of Pina-colada (13% alcohol).
4) I was simply happy for your team and their devoted fans, and felt remorseful for my private prediction.
Although I think Al is great and I don't share the negative opinions of him that I have seen in this thread, I am not an Al sycophant. In many of his threads I have politely disagreed with many points. I don't think he minds that, and I think he knows that I dig him.
This thread makes me think that as a Terrapin fan, it's too unnatural for me to be here. I do have a Rutgers family connection, and I've lived in Jersey for a long time, but sometimes I forget my place.
I will probably downgrade to lurking status for a while...
