... you remember that when you were a student at RU, every Rutgers home football game kicked off at 1:00 on Saturday
As a Rutgers football fan, you know you're old when.....
- Thread starter knight82
- Start date
When you remember the TE was part of the offense.
and the fullback
You could go out for a couple beers at halftime and come back into the game.
No waiting for TV time outs.
And you could actually talk to your friends without shouting at them over blaring speaker music.

Pissed on the troughs, and no wait.
You were lucky to find a game on New Jersey Public Broadcasting
You were at the RU vs Princeton, 100 year anniversary game.
You attended a home conference game against Miami
you remember when Harvey Hauptman was the PA Announcer
PA native Scott Erney led Rutgers to a win in State College PA, 21-16. Dick Anderson’s graduate assistant defensive backfield coach Greg Schiano was on the sideline.
I knew Harvey personally. One of the nicest people you will ever meet. God rest his soul
You could say "meet me in the endzone" and you didn't need to specify which one.
you were dancing on tables at the Knight Club after the Pitt game....what a long warm day of debauchery
Every campus had a student bar and you could drink beers with your student ID if you were 18 or older
You would drive to the store every Friday to buy the Star Ledger to read the weekly fact-based well written story about the football team and the prediction for the upcoming game in Saturday.

You were there when we gave The Bear a Hell of a Scare.
You remember sitting in the grass in the corner of the end zone on Homecoming.
True story:
Bryant came into the Rutgers post game locker room and said:
"Boys, we were luckier than a dog with three (eggplant emojis) today."
Sunday mornings with Pat Scanlan on the play by for NJN along with Mike Mayock as the sideline reporter
You remember the first ever football game between Rutgers
and Princeton.
and Princeton.

Yup. You can’t be an OG if you never experienced the rotted wooden bleachers.
Umm...now we are mostly 12 noon...not much difference
Edit: last year was better but we have been doing TAYLOR HAM, egg and cheese for what seems like forever.
Yeah, we got that win but he was a little self righteous prick on campus...at least the one interaction I had with him.
Getting poison ivy!
You could go out at halftime and drink more beer and come back in to see the rest of the game
And you watched the NJN sign off video (
New Jersey...
) just so you could see the clip of a Rutgers pass TD.* Very nice guy. An outsider who really wanted Rutgers to do well.
You attended RU first ever bowl game and also attended RU most recent bowl game 45 years later.
When you were at the Princeton game where the fans tore down not only both goal posts on the but the nearby practice goal posts so Princeton couldn’t kick the game winning xpoint. Game ended 6-6.
You first started going to games and you could only walk down to your seats..
