I believe today is anniversary of Alabama game in 1980. Lost by 4 points. Was a frosh at time and could not go to game because my aunt had 50th anniversary party and listened on radio. Believe it was October 11 1980. killed me could not go.

You mean we lost a game we never had any chance of winning despite the machinations of the game which may have fooled you otherwise into believing we did? Sounds familiar ;)I was 13, at both games, and if I recall correctly we looked slow and beat up after playing Alabama. Still shouldn’t have lost, but, yet, as “typical” as it gets!
Was Shelby impressed with our performance against the #1 team in the nation? 😜I was 13, at both games, and if I recall correctly we looked slow and beat up after playing Alabama. Still shouldn’t have lost, but, yet, as “typical” as it gets!

Similar here: was freshman year and I had some family thing back home in SNJ - always bummed I missed that game.I believe today is anniversary of Alabama game in 1980. Lost by 4 points.

Was there at the Meadowlands. Bama ran the wishbone and we played so well against it, they had to pass to win the game towards the end. Of course, in true Rutgers fashion, rather than using that performance as a stepping stone, we lost the next week to William and Mary. ugh.
Was the crowd more pro-Rutgers or pro-Alabama?I was there
Sounds about right for the crowd size.Was the crowd more pro-Rutgers or pro-Alabama?
What was the estimated crowd? Wikipedia says 58,000.
