Rutgers fans: "This game is our National Championship"

this year I don't.  I went over the Black Shoe Diaries to take a look at their game preview and most of the comments were something like, "eh, they will probably kill us, maybe not, who cares though really."

These Rutgers fans look way more invested than the Penn State fans did.

I understand how my last sentence can be read. I chuckled at your response. Mobile +1 to you

Just because we are saying 18-23 lives matter doesnt mean we are saying 15 and >30 lives dont matter.

So says the facebook! So say we all!!

I downvoted you because I am well over 30 and I feel you are the reason I feel like the walking wounded. You and people like you. Stop it.

Were hamburgers really a nickel then or is my grandpa full of shit?

football. This one is a trophy battle for a delusional sense of historical self aggrandizement and posterity of wayward belief. Funny, how the last time Rutgers won this matchup, both teams had different coaches, and are today lightyears apart in the college football timeline of competitive growth. 

You know this game means everything when it's being played at night, and when the networks get around to deciding the Rutgers gametime at the Big House, kickoff is a footnote to another debate over what's better for your life and taligaitng social calendar, noon or 3:30 pm?

The false rivalry attitude here while beyond the pale will die hard, even in ignominius defeat, the only kind of pain that can be administered on a team's fanbase hardened by unreconcilable hate and misplaced passion and on the rationalized thinking that a program that has no offense and  a defense that gives up 58 points a week earlier, now has regained a superior position with a puncher's chance to win by two scores this Saturday.

Kind of reminds you of cheering for Monty Python's Knights who say Nee; We've lost our arms and legs, but we aren't dead yet; after all, Big Blue isn't the Buckeyes and their ranking is only a  mirage.  We've gottem exactly where we want them in our NC on the Hudson.

That must have been most enjoyable. I love that other fan bases have such feelings about the maize and blue! It never ceases to amuse me how ohio fans are so obsessed with all things Michigan. At a local bar when they play osu games, they always shout out 'whatever team they're playing' sucks.....'Michigan sucks'....cracks me up everytime

I remember a price war around Bloomfield Hills in 1970; regular was 18 cents a gallon.

This WAS when you wore an onion on your belt, right?

 

But seriously, great story.

I don't know... On Wisconsin is probably the third most well known fight song. 

WRONG.  I forgot the word "that".    Meant to say that there fan base.  So their!
