Good to know reporters in other states also reach deep into the barrel of meaningless fluff to fill out an article.

An ESPN insert from Iowa article

"ESPN.com's Signature Moment

College football rivalries were hatched the same day the sport was born. Immediately after Rutgers won the first game ever played, Princeton's players were literally run out of town by Rutgers students. The Princeton men jumped in their carriages and quickly made the 20-mile trek back to their campus."


That is ESPiN propaganda at it again Both teams has dinner together

uh oh:
5. Iowa has outscored its opponents 35-10 in first-quarters. Rutgers has been outscored 59-14 in first-squarters.

And WTF?
17. Map of Rome’s album release party will be Saturday night at the Court Tavern in New Brunswick. But when you Google “Map of Rome,” the first thing you get is a map of Rome.

9. Rutgers’ Janarion Grant has three rushing touchdowns, a touchdown pass, a kickoff return for a touchdown, and a punt return for a touchdown. He is a wide receiver. He has a team-high 15 catches, but none are for touchdowns.

Interesting stat.
