Be honest , who stayed ??

[BigEastPhil]

Left at 24–6. I was drenched and thought game was over. Had it not been pouring , I would have stayed as I always stay till the end - even with the Eddie Jordan teams. Lol

I was diving home listening to game on radio and thought about driving back. Lol

Great win!

 

[nutfromSEC117]

It was a loud few thousand remaining

I guess you gotta be a little nuts to still be there and if you stayed you probably one of the louder RU fans too

 

[JCin128]

Yep in 128 Row 31 with the wife All the way through the alma mater.

 

[koleszar]

Left after the 3 and out after going down 6-24. At that point I was drenched, cold, tired, miserable and completely frustrated with our play. Said to my group, I can't believe we actually pay for this life experience and we decided to leave. Car ride home we started to regret our decision.

 

[RUinOhio]

Not gonna blame anyone for leaving, it was bad. glad we didn’t leave though. Add it to my best games list. Let’s beat Indiana

 

[Roy_Faulker]

Does listening to the game on tue radio count? Was at regatta and was there til the end hoping they would pull it out!

I was giving those sparty bastards hell. Haha!

 

[RutgersMC]

My Dad and I stayed. Wasn't feeling confident after the 3rd Quarter but our patience paid off. For the comeback, it also seemed to materialize so quickly once it started.

[RUmonster]

I was there with my son till the end and what a feeling! It was so satisfying that those free Willy fans who didn’t show up or left early lost a chance to enjoy a great comeback!

 

[Jersey Boys]

We left at the half this week but that was the plan from the beginning. Get out ASAP and get home for second half. Both of my kids have been sick and are still congested (one has a football game tomorrow and the other field hockey) but we decided to go out and support the boys for the first half as we don’t skip home games.

Don’t regret leaving but if it was just me and the wife we would have stuck it out.

Great win regardless.

 

[RU#1fan]

I left in the 2nd half.. and I gladly eat crow for that and my rants about Schiano and our QB.
Totally uncalled for.
Look forward to our next victory.

 

[njxchange]

Ha! I stayed all the way to the end! So glad I did... Had my 4 year old son for his first game and He had an amazing time...

We were in BOX Section 11 so we were lucky to avoid all that rain...

 

[RU in IM]

5 of our 6 family members stayed until the end. My youngest son left right before the end of the 3rd quarter

 

[dfr1966]

We stayed through the Alma mater, section 128 row 39.

 

[Jimjimminy]

I tried. I had really bad pain in my jaw beneath my ear. I just couldn’t hang until the end. Then again, I’m an old guy. I get a pass, right? Begging.

 

[RUref]

Off topic, but worth noting. #29 is a tenacious blocker. That contributes to an 8 yard gain increasing to a 20 yard gain.

 

[srru86]

Stayed to the end in my seat in sec 126. My wife hung in also.

 

[TRU2RU]

Wife & I stayed till the end section 207

 

[blueoyster]

Not sure this counts but listened till the end on a beach in Sarasota Florida....full disclosure...came close to tossing my phone into to gulf water several times in the 2nd and 3rd quarters....

 

[e5fdny]

#MeToo

I stayed until the end…

Up top in Section 219 and exposed with my Son and good friend. Totally worth it. 🙂

rutgers.forums.rivals.com

Btw, someone ITT surprised me. And not about staying or leaving…let’s just say, had no idea.🤷‍♂️

 

[King of S]

I left once it was 6-24. I just couldn't take it anymore and I never ever leave early. Glad we won but miserable day all around.

Yup, maybe 6,000 people in the house by 4th qtr.

 

[BigRnj]

Had to take a piss at halftime… even with a small crowd the lines were ridiculous so I headed out to the lots for an open port-a-jon and then continued on to my truck. I had 2 spare tickets to burn but we decided to head home. Watched all but the first 3 minutes of the second half in dry warm clothes, with a hot coffee on my own couch!

PS - I stayed till the end of the infamous temple game... I earned this one 😉

He's a Strong blocker. Ian Strong.

 

[graystork]

24-6 was it for me. I was sitting at the NB train station thinking about how many times I had sat there, pissed off because Rutgers played poorly. Then I guy came up to me and said Rutgers was ahead.

 

[82RU]

I stayed until the end, section 124. There were very few still there in my immediate area near the main concourse. Was fantastic to see the chop payoff! Much more rewarding than staying until the end of that Michigan home drubbing during the Ash years.

 

[linzalonic]

Our crew stayed. Section 127. Not sure which was worse - the refs, or the loner blowhard nearby ragging on Schiano at the top of his lungs in the 3rd quarter.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Not sure this counts but listened till the end on a beach in Sarasota Florida....full disclosure...came close to tossing my phone into to gulf water several times in the 2nd and 3rd quarters....

Watched until the end on the opposite side of Florida. Admittedly, my phone did have a couple of run-ins with the couch today (targeting/2nd Gavin INT)

 

[robcac26]

I never leave until the end, stayed for 78-0 so this was nothing in comparison. Lost my voice today.

 

[j_rc_93]

I stayed till the end. Even sat in my seat all through halftime.

Add this to West Virginia in the snow; the Temple game ... watching the last seconds tick off after surrendering 80 points...

 

[ScarletDave]

Stayed through the alma mater. Got up to leave and walked to the north gate, watched the block punt and walked back to the seats under the overhang. There were maybe 5,000 in the stadium at the end but it was still really loud somehow … here’s a video from field level on the last TD .. Super loud

 

[Knight Shift]

Here is senior wide receiver Christian Dremel, a Don Bosco Prep grad who caught seven passes for 80 yards, plus a 2-point conversion: "Really appreciate everyone who came out today for sure, because it was not nice out there. The people who stuck it out, they brought the energy when we were making that comeback. Obviously not a nice day, not as many people as we thought, but (those who came) brought it. There was definitely energy in that building once things started to turn and we felt it, we could feed off that.”


Here is sophomore defensive back Thomas Amankwaa, a Hillsborough High School grad: “Thank you and we love you and we couldn’t have done it without you guys. Being able to stand in that rain and that cold meant a lot to us, and we can’t wait to see you the rest of the season. At home the crowd means everything.”

Here is Young, who got the whole thing started: “Everyone who came out in the rain, they didn’t have to, but they did – and we needed them. They backed us up. There is so much momentum that comes with that.”

We're going to give T.J. Ameha the last word here. What would he like to say to Rutgers fans about supporting this team?

“Just because you’re losing,” he said, “doesn’t mean you’ll always be losing.”

Rutgers football: A comeback win that loyal fans who stayed will never forget

They braved the elements and the deficit, and they were rewarded. Their message: 'It’s about loyalty – you have to stay loyal.'

[rutger80]

Stayed for the whole game.

 

[rutgersfan1766]

No, I know who you mean, but we are in 127

I'm in 127 row 24 and we love when the Twizzlers reach us!! Love the tradition.

 

[wheezer]

I sang on the banks on field behind team !!!!

Right here

 

[RUref]

Our crew stayed. Section 127. Not sure which was worse - the refs, or the loner blowhard nearby ragging on Schiano at the top of his lungs in the 3rd quarter.

The guy complaining, 'Four million dollars'? That's what I heard in 127. I was embarrassed for him. Might have been the same guy who would yell at the refs, on the few occasions that the call went in our favor.

 

[RU848789]

I can understand leaving early when it's an obvious blowout, like some of the past UM/OSU/OSU games where we were down 30+ at the end of the 3Q (I've left some of those early), but I cannot, for the life of me, understand leaving down 18 points (2 TDs and a FG!), especially when the game was not far from even, except for that terrible mistake at the end of the first half and some horrible officiating. It was clear we were as good as they were and still had some chance. And the rain wasn't that bad. But it was certainly sweet to be there to see that incredible comeback in person and to celebrate at the end and sing the alma mater...

 

[srru86]

I never leave until the end, stayed for 78-0 so this was nothing in comparison.

Yeah I was in for that also. What a terrible memory.

 

[MrsScrew]

This. I want to see this on the big board. Joy. Happiness. Excitement.
