Doug Graber/WFAN Spring Game Article

I always considered both Russo and Franscesa terrible, but I liked it from a marketing viewpoint. Would like to see us do it with one team coached by Atlantic City/Philly sports radio guys and one by New York City guys.

When WFAN’s ‘Mike and the Mad Dog’ coached the Rutgers spring game: An oral history

Thirty years ago, former Rutgers coach Doug Graber had a somewhat revolutionary idea: He asked WFAN's Mike Francesa and Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo to be the stars of the spring game.

I like that idea.

I remember that spring game very well. There was pretty good talent on Graber’s teams but didn’t quite come together (some academic and discipline issues). I always liked Graber.
