Mike Barr has always been a favorite player of mine. I was something like 10-13 years old during his time on the Banks in which he also worked for my Father at the RUGC. He could punt the ball 70+ yards like it was nothing and was a really nice guy.
What idiot brought a shovel to the old RU Stadium and cleared the snow off the steps so that he could run them?
Good god, I don't want to know! But I had to look it up - the whole idea of Temple being able to put up 40, 50+ points against us.....that tells you just how bad we were back then.
What were the original colors of Rutgers before scarlet?
For over a year, orange, white and blue (mimicking the Dutch tri-color flag) represented Rutgers and the students hated the colors wanting scarlet or cherry-red. On May 17, 1869 at Kirkpatrick Chapel, the students voted in scarlet. In 1900, the Rutgers administration officially sanctioned it.

Trick question. Rutgers has never played a football game on any Friday the 13th in its 146 year history.
What professional sports team sent its general manager to the College Avenue Gym area to see if they could hold pre-season training there?
Ed Barrow and manager Joe McCarthy of the New York Yankees checked out the Gym in 1943 when WWII fuel restrictions limited the local MLB teams to spring training around the area. The NYY eventually settled on Asbury Park for Yankees spring training in 1943.

The Rutgers football team has played regulation games with 25, 20, 15, 11 and 9 man teams in its 146 year history. No one else has done that.

Manager John McCloskey telegrammed manager Harry Shine of the local, semi-pro Brunswicks that they wished to come down after a doubleheader with the Giants and play Brunswick on Neilson Field at Rutgers on October 2, 1906. St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Fred Beebe was the winning pitcher in a 9-3 victory over the Brunswicks. A record crowd of 2,000 witnessed it.

Deron did punt for RU. And passed. Threw a punt pass to Kent Smith for a TD against ,I think Cinci.
Just trivia:
"Flood played high school football as a high school teammate of former Rutgers All-American tight end Marco Battaglia at St. Francis Preparatory School in Queens, N.Y."
