ITT: we link videos of nice Rutgers plays.. or games on youtube etc.

I was thinking today of showing people how to make their own gifs easy.
You can download a highlight/game video from YT using 4K downloader (safe))
Play video with VLC player - hit red record button to record play you want (hit button again to stop record).
Then upload clip to gif site and select size and framerate (more frames = smoother but might have to lower size)
Just made this

Love it! We were in the crowd shot after the Jones TD. We were very loud for 3K road fans.
That announcer could not be any less enthusiastic about that TD.
Must be related to Joe Buck.

Love the thread. Let this be the place we put vids and such post game during the season?
Think this board needs more centralization.
The modern day Rutgers kickoff return record is held by Nate Jones. He ran a kickoff back 101 yards against Tennessee on September 28, 2002 and amazingly repeated his record of 100 yards four weeks later against Syracuse.
According to the Tennessee Volunteers sports department, after the game, they checked their records back to the Vols first season in 1891. NOBODY had ever returned the opening game kick-off for a touchdown against Tennessee until Nate Jones run.
Another favorite memory. Not a great season but we had an obnoxious Syracuse fan sitting behind us in 124 making fun of Rutgers the whole game. That ending demoralized him. Probably why NJ Cuse fans are miserable. The wind game was even better.
The old lady that made the bus trip down from the tundra was pretty bad that day too. Loved watching them slink out of there silently.
This is what an RB threat and a QB that commits to a good play-fake can do... we had never beaten Pitt and this was the first night game at Rutgers Stadium in 1992, 3rd and 13 and Pitt DB bites on a play-fake? Bad. I may have to moderate my criticisms of even calling for a play-fake in such situations.
Fun night! I remember it being really warm for that game. Presley was awesome.
Watching that video there are so many good players that I almost forget about - Mitter, Guarnera, Brantley, etc. I really thought Doug was on the verge of getting it done but we discussed all that in another lengthy thread.
That whole video of that game is kinda awesome. Time capsule.. still have the condescending broadcasters.. refs calling it the "name" teams way.. cool throw-back ads.. like Neon Deion Nike ad with Dennis Leary. Nike should run that ad during a Colorado game. Early in video is some studio segment with a "young", for him, Lee Corso. And during a review of an upcoming Ohio State game they show teh PLAYER Kirk Herbstreit. Frosh QB Ray Lucas on the sidelines.. getting attention. The better of Father/Son Guarantano on the field. The OLD stadium !!!

September 17th, 1992. Good season, we went 7-4 but didn't get a bowl game. That late season loss to Cincinnati killed us even though we knocked off West Virginia the following week.
That play was a great example of a QB throwing off target on purpose and having a great WR that could handle it.
Sanu had a DB right in front of him - a perfect throw had an excellent change to be an INT or INC .
Dodd threw the ball behind Sanu because he had to (Nova probably would have tried to gun it into numbers).
Sanu of course was the master of catching eccentric passes.
Also interesting was how #5 (Tim Wright I think) was lined-up out to the right and then brought-in to run a drag route to the left sideline and drag pass defenders away from target area.
This was from Nov. 5th, 2011 when we beat South Florida in overtime 20-17.
