Who cares, RU needs the spotlight, not playing on BTN or FS1.....FOX and CBS are recruiting wins for a program and fans still thinking small time with complaints about MSG.....this will legitimately be the 1st time someone in the tristate area has ever seen RU play on TV.....it will 100% be the 1st time for the entire nation since the 1980s???

Something is off here. 78K applications must be a "so far" number, since RU claimed 244K applications for 2024:

Not sure how I feel about the timing of it. He obviously has to go to a dual but the crowd has to be into it. Need to start the dual off at 125 and sneak a couple wins in before it takes the crowd out. Wish it lined up with a more competitive dual.

Exactly. Nobody else gives away conference home games. Well PSU does but they go to smaller arenas. Cant believe Nova wouldn’t do a home and home at West Fargo and MSG.

Rutgers could've easily replaced Arkansas with another P5 program but chose to play Princeton instead.

Syracuse chose to play Maryland in Newark instead

Like it said in the article, the first choice was Syracuse OOC. Just like we tried to play Arkansas at the Pru. Gotta open up that rolodex a bit more before hitting a conference name though.

The New Brunswick Daily Home News sports editor Harold E. O’Neill remembered that when he watched Rutgers defeat Boston College 13-7 at Fenway Park on November 13, 1919, “…Our business in the City of Culture took us to the Boston Red Sox ball park one golden autumn afternoon to watch the Rutgers-Boston College football battle. Ruth had made his last home run a month or so previously, but they had not forgotten him, even in the football atmosphere. We had no sooner made our entrance into the baseball theatre when five or six groundskeepers and as many attendants located us. For half an hour or more while the football populace was finding seats, we were told of Ruth’s deeds and showed where his home runs had cleared the fence. Just before game time we broke away and climbed to the press box on the top of the grand stand, and immediately became mingled with telegraph operators and newspapermen, also talking about Babe Ruth who at that time was playing baseball on the Pacific Coast. Being a stranger in the surroundings it was again pictured to the writer where the eminent Ruth had made his longest home run. It was an interesting recital the first time, but a tiresome one along about the twentieth time. That evening the Boston newspapers had a ‘running’ account of the football game. Through the detailed story there occasionally appeared the name of Ruth hitting the line for five yards or throwing passes. As there was no personage by that name in the lineup of the teams that had struggled that afternoon, it was easy to imagine that the telegraph operators could not forget the name of their favorite, who was just then some thousands of miles away,” according to the January 9, 1920 Daily Home News.
