[NU Sports] Win one for Rutgers

[Cyril S. Ku]

My house is only about 20 minutes drive from the
Rutgers stadium. Earlier in the season, my neighbor
had extra ticket (free) to a Rutgers game and asked me
to see the Scarlet Knights. I did not go due to other
obligation. Obviously I cannot get a free ticket from
my neighbor nowadays.

The last time I was at the Rutgers stadium (the old
one) was in 1991 when NU came to New Jersey. We lost
the game 22-18. We had a chance to win the game on 4th
down and goal but we could not get in. That was
Francis Peay's last year at NU.
