OT: Cubs End Drought _ Rutgers @147 Years / Still Counting

[RutgersMO]

Is Hobbs our Epstein?

Is Ash our Maddon?

Rutgers was the site of the first football game. And Rutgers won the first game in 1869.

Then we preceded to lose to Princeton for 68 years (though we didn't play every year).

The Cubs WS futility march is over after 108 years.

When will Rutgers become B1G champions? When will Rutgers win the NC?

The Cubs won tonight....could Rutgers be next?

this is just a great folk song, period....

Don't let anyone say that it's just a game
For I've seen other teams and it's never the same
When you're born in Chicago you're blessed and you're healed
The first time you walk into Wrigley Field
Our heroes wear pinstripes
Heroes in blue
Give us the chance to feel like heroes too
Forever we'll win and if we should lose
We know someday we'll go all the way
Yeah
Someday we'll go all the way

We are one with the Cubs
With the Cubs we're in love
Yeah, hold our head high as the underdogs
We are not fair-weather but foul-weather fans
We're like brothers in arms in the streets and the stands
There's magic in the ivy and the old scoreboard
The same one I stared at as a kid keeping score
In a world full of greed, I could never want more
Than someday we'll go all the way
Yeah
Someday we'll go all the way
Someday we'll go all the way
Yeah
Someday we'll go all the way
Someday we'll go all the way

And here's to the men and the legends we've known
Teaching us faith and giving us hope
United we stand and united we'll fall
Down to our knees the day we win it all

Ernie Banks said "Oh, let's play two"
Or did he mean 200 years
In the same ball park
Our diamond, our jewel
The home of our joy and our tears
Keeping traditions and wishes made new
A place where our grandfathers, fathers they grew
A spiritual feeling if I ever knew
And if you ain't been I am sorry for you
And when the day comes with that last winning run
And I'm crying and covered in beer
I'll look to the sky and know I was right
To think someday we'll go all the way
Yeah
Someday we'll go all the way
Someday we'll go all the way
Yeah
Someday we'll go all the way
Someday we'll go all the way
Yeah
Someday we'll go all the way
Someday we'll go all the way
Yeah
Someday we'll go all the way
Someday we'll go all the way​

Hopefully we won't need the lifespan of Uncle Fester to witness!

99% positive its another internet hoax, but funny nonetheless. Text looks brighter than the rest.

First off how many years were we playing Colgate and teams like Princeton? I was a frosh in 1980 and we played Princeton as well as the game vs Alabama at the Meadowlands.

That's got to be something for Epstein to be part of the management of ending 2 long droughts.

It appears to be true.

It's gonna happen...for RU!

Did you know there are 108 stitches on a baseball. What does it all mean???

Cleveland is still the Mistake by the Lake.
They choked.

 

[MrsScrew]

How about this guy, who made this prediction 2 years ago!

Good post MO
Is Hobbs our Theo?

A choke.. but not as bad as the Yankees choke of a 3 -0 series lead to the Red Sox in the 2004 ALCS. The worst (BEST) choke of all time !!

 

[zappaa]

Choke?

Damn. Since I'm out of school, I'll have to put my Rutgers prediction on my tombstone.

 

[RUonBrain]

Just because you lose, it is not automatically a choke.
Hate when people say that.

Also, it cheapens what the winning team accomplished.

When you're up 3-1 and are home for 6 & 7, you have to win, period.

 

[StyleKnight]

Can Rutgers take over the lovable losers moniker? It's weird to market being a loser but it might actually help us build a fanbase as the biggest underdog.

 

[MrsScrew]

For all the Cubs fans who didn't live long enough.... a great piece by Deadspin

They didn't live long enough

 

[RUhasarrived]

We should have known the Cubs were a lock when Matt Centrowicz won the 1500 meters in the Olympics,the first win for the USA in the event since 1908 by Jerseyan Mel Sheppard

 

[RUsince52]

About every 25 years dig up the RU time capsule and just extend the next prediction. Will eventually come true, but how many lifetimes will pass ?

wow, love the track reference!

That one still stings.
Rivera normally does not blow a save in the 8th inning in the 4th game ( @ Boston).
After 100 years the curse had to be broken sometime.

It's all coming together now in a point of singularity.

BTW I lived in the community immediately next to Mission Viejo (Michael Lee's 1993 prediction): Laguna Niguel.
And my LLC is based in Mission Viejo!

Rutgers wins B1G / NC in a squeaker against Auburn: in 2020:" I can see clearly now".

He should run for Prez

Disappointed that you did not provide all the links to your life that led to and converged to last nights game seven win by the Cubs.........

 

[cicero grimes]

So you're telling me there is a chance. BTW anyone check in with the devil to see if hell froze over?

better yet, who cares. it's just a game?

winning fb games and championships are meaningless anyway. No different from roman spectators cheering on the latest gladiator hero of their time in the arena.

Both serve the same purpose. To distract the sheep/masses from the really important issues and concerns affecting their lands.

 

[RUtix4me]

I just tweeted 15 times RU winning the B1G starting in 2021, 2022, 2023........with the phrase "you heard it here first" if one hits, I delete the rest and look brilliant.

Parade is today, hope there is no gun violence in that city for at least 3 hours.
