You played one game a season at Giants Stadium to meet the minimum average seating capacity (30K) to be considered Div. 1A.
You remember playing an entire season at Giants Stadium because Rutgers Stadium was being renovated (in 1993?).
You can recall at least three helmet designs BEFORE the Block R.
You were able to have conversations with those sitting nearby while hearing the band in the background.

Rutgers marketing summarized in one logo.God, they had some awful looking helmets in the past.
You know you're old when Rutgers had a med school, gave it up, then got it back again.
You remember being at Giants Stadium seeing Doug Graber going after Joe Paterno after State Penn put up a last minute TD against RU. Wished Doug would have taken a swing at Joe Pa.
I used to have a STS seat cushion with the old NJ state logo and Rutgers across it.
Wow, that's a lot more than I thought. They must have lowered that standard for schools like a Villanova wanting to go D1.
When Sam Crosby was the QB in the single wing or winged-t offenseYa mean this one? I think the logo is on the back.
When Rutgers also had a lightweight football team
some of the giants stadium tailgates were epic. no cops! 😂
When you could use your Rutgers Giants Stadium game ticket stub to get into that night's racetrack free.
There was a great picture in the Targum of a streaker who only wore a cap and a long scarf where the scarf covered enough of his junk that they could publish. He became a minor celebrity.
You remember working the front door of the pub (Rusty Screw) downstairs in the student center when Dino M came in, having just been named All American
That guy was my roommate and one of my best friends to this date. So was the guy behind him. They were the coffee house band, Jasmine. I was right behind them and not in the picture. Behind me was another buddy who just had a hernia operation, was shaved, and could only walk, not run. Spring of ‘74
Rusty Screw, I couldn’t remember the name of the pub
You thought “we reached the big time” after joining The Big East.
“Hey _oug, where’s the D”… away against Tulane (?) at Superdome
Yes, that's the one.Ya mean this one? I think the logo is on the back.
Cool site.. http://www.nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/index.htmGod, they had some awful looking helmets in the past.
Tom Lucci and Jerry Izenberg. Day after Rutgers Plus page in Sunday Ledger. Reading at the local diner while enjoying Taylor Ham Egg & Cheese wit S,P,K!
As I’ve said numerous times before on the subject…give me that with the Block R and I’m good.God, they had some awful looking helmets in the past.
I’m old enough to have watched JJ Jennings rush for over 200 yards against the UMASS REDMEN at RUTGERS Stadium
Or you can remember the WCTC round robin TG HS football broadcast although that didn’t end until a few years ago.
They were the Redmen at one time? I always remember Minutemen going back to the Eastern 8 days, but that was late 70s.
I guess they were in on that early. Thank you for the research - was too lazy. 😁
