[NU Sports] Win one for Rutgers

[cherron604 at aol.com]

Rutgers did their job last night, so congratulations to them - they got the annoying Louisville Cardinals out of the Naional Championship picture (where they didn't belong).  Now Rutgers (and the rest of the Big Least) can follow-up by staying quiet for the rest of 2005, and letting the Big Ten, Pac 10, SEC and Big 12 decide things.
 
It is hoped that this solidifies OSU-Michigan in the National Championship game, because this guarantees us the most money.
 
Of course, USC also has one more task to do - beat the highly over-rated Evil Empire, so we don't have to listen to them this post-season either.

We can help good ol' Rutgers into a BCS slot with a win over tOSU.   Nice to 
see a team that played the first college football game, against  Princeton in 
1869, and plays in a big market, regain a little glory. After  getting the 
ball rolling (literally, since only kicking was allowed in the first  game), 
Rutgers pretty much tanked the rest of the 19th century. It had brief  bursts of 

competence in the 20th, like going 14-2-2 between 1923 and 1924, and  14-2-1 
between 1938 and 1939. The 1946-48 squads were a combined 22-5, and the  1960 
and 1961 teams were a combined 17-1, with '61 being the school's first  
undefeated season since it won its sole game in 1876. The mid-to-late '70s were  
boom 
years as well, as the Scarlet Knights were 45-11 from 1975 through 1979.  This 
included their only other undefeated season in 1976 -- en route to an 11-0  
record.
