Years ago, I went to see UF play Rutgers at the Meadowlands, we took a bus to the game, after the game (which we won 15-3), a bunch of Rutgers students tried to attack our bus.

I think Navy can take care of themselves. I do remember when we marched to the home games passed St. John’s. That was a hippy school when Hillary was still in grade school.
Sometimes a Johnny would try to grap a Midn’s Cap and would get pulled into a Company formation...out the back as we marched along would come a non-wandering shred of human debris. Only to be picked up and recycled by the next marching Company.
Once a Johnny..took of with a Cap and headed for a dorm. A single Plebe was sent in pursuit. He came back with the cap....

Yeah ... then everyone would giggle about it. - for me 50 years ago.

“May be football, but I hate hearing all the swearing that passes for commom speech nowadays.”

To me this is indicative of low self esteem and ignorance. The root cause being weak and ineffective parental models and few school teachers worth their salt.

“Unfortunately, it is this author’s attempt to make it sound like it was a widespread issue instead of something about .01% of the crowd was part of makes me believe he was hoping to make his career by creating a story.”

Perhaps it would be good if you (as an ear and I witness) contacted him and set him straight because this story is now getting some traction in the .mil on-line community and we wouldn’t want there to be misplaced hard feelings.

Old enough to remember when Rutgers decided to go “big time” after losing to Lehigh in football by 40 points. Better to be the least of a greater class than the least of a lesser class, I guess. Life’s always been a bitch on the banks of the old Raritan.

sitting at a Harvard-Yale game and hearing the kids chant: "You can beat us on the field but you can't beat us off."

It's not about the football, is it? Once, at the annual Amherst-Williams game, not known for its professional quality of play, I heard this:

"Higher mean S-A-Ts! Higher mean S-A-Ts! Higher mean . . ."

I imagine that they treat all visiting teams/fans in every sport this way. As the old saying goes, “What do you expect from a pig but a grunt?”

Rutgers athletic director Robert Mulcahy and Greg Blimling, vice president of student affairs, wrote an open letter saying the outbursts were “undignified, disrespectful and unacceptable.”

What else would one expect from a gaggle of ho's and jerkoffs?

Too old to pick up a newspaper?

Rutgers is the 13th ranked team in the country.

Woody Allen said it best.

“I believe that there’s an intelligence to the universe with the exception of parts of New Jersey.”

Hmmm sounds like he was thinking of exit 9.

I asked one of the nurse’s aides in the old folks home to read me the football scores. Rutgers beat Norfolk State 55-0. I’m old enough to remember the scurrilous Norfolk cheer that opposing teams fans took juvenile pleasure in chanting.

Did he come up with that while he was boinking his adopted daughter? What an authority.

The shore, the mountains, farms, cranberry bogs, highest per capita income in the U.S. It's great. Come on up, it's a beautiful place and Rutgers is a great school.

I know, the only 50 drunken students in the U.S. who yelled something negative about a football opponent live here, but try to look past that.

Heh, heh, one of the other geezers told me that yesterday in their game with Norfolk State, Rutgers was leading 45-0 near the end of the second quarter and called three time-outs in an effort to rack up another score.

I’ve been to Jersey bro. How do you think I know Rutgers was exit 9.
