1888 was one bad year. You think we have problems today. Princeton hung 80 on us, twice in the same year. I demand a re-match.

Here is an article from the NYT on Rutgers and Princeton deciding to end the football rivalry.

Today, Rutgers still plays Princeton in all other sports offered of course,

Very good ol' boy Princeton. If the rules don't work in your favor, change them so you can win.

Princeton mauled Rutgers regularly for over 100 years. As soon as Rutgers began winning Princeton decided to end the series because we were playing in different classes.

Of course the irony is that during most of the series Princeton was one of the elite teams of college football. Princeton, Harvard and Yale regularly played in front of 100,000 people in those days. Meanwhile Rutgers was a small, underfunded, college for most of those years, even after being named the State University in 1949.

In my opinion Princeton deserves to play a Rutgers who "outclasses" them for about a hundred or so years. Laying 80 on Princeton would be something to revel in year after year. It would only be fair.

The answers are: Northrop's and Mansion House

What is the question?

Thank you for posting that!!! After reading the scores, I'm surprised that we didn't quit playing football back then. Seems like Princeton was our West Virginia (or Miami, VT) and now our Ohio State (and Michigan State, Wisconsin).

I love our BiG affiliation now but it sure nice from an academic point to see the references to Yale, Cornell, Columbia etc...

It might be a few more years before we can beat Princeton confidently.
