HEEEEEEEEEEEEEY MO!!!!
I have been doing great!.... good to hear from you..... when I think back to happy times, times shared by you, me, and Frankie Z, I go back a bit farther than 2006 to remember stuff..... one night sticks out in my mind, twas a night in March 1998........ RU had stumbled into the big east basketball tourney and somehow got past a 23rd ranked W Virginia team, only to find itself facing Georgetown in the next round, big underdogs there.... the game was nip and tuck, I could not watch the game at work, but heard the call on the radio of Billet hitting a short jumper for RU to win by one..... the RU sport board (whichever it was) was going crazy that night, and it was tough to calm the Z man down!
RU was short on talent.... not only that, but we only had about 7 players to put out on the court...... we gave 6th ranked Uconn all the battle
we had, after that, but faded at the end.
2006 in football was THE football moment, and like you, I hope we can return to some of that!

PS George, tell the couple what the secret word is..... and who is buried in Grant's tomb?
Been lurking for a few years. You all seem so know so much. I work with Piscataway Mike so was getting a lot of info from him. Started posting more now. I think four or five in the last few weeks. Didn't go to Rutgers (UD, go blue hens). But Rutgers is the local team and wanted to be a part of it. Started watching them year Schiano was hired. My kids love the games and are junior knights.
I remember playing the Blue Hens....@ RU Stadium (it sounds sooooo much better than High Point Solutions Stadium).
Thanks

Need a reason to come out. Coach Ash and what he is doing seems to be the reason.
Another lurker lurking here. Class of '75, moved to Calif in '80 and became disconnected from Rutgers and Jersey. I've always been a college football fan but didn't pay much attention to RU for obvious reasons. In '06 I happened to watch the Louisville game and was hooked. I haven't missed a game either on TV, or radio since, and more recently made it back to HPSS for a few games, and even talked my wife into taking a take a trip to Columbus.
I did make a few posts during the Flood years, I felt compelled to weigh in, but they still kept him on the payroll anyway (I don't want to bring up old wounds)
I am very excited about the upcoming season and the new staff, and am certain the team will be better conditioned, motivated and prepared. I will be in Seattle and also planning on making it to Piscataway for a game.
Thank you to the posters who help me stay connected to my Jersey roots and the entertainment the board provides. I don't know how I would get thru a work day without you.
(ps: the pictures do help .)

Do you attend any of the LA or OC functions? The Harp Pub in Costa Mesa is where the OC group gathers to watch football games.
Just wondering.

PS I came to OC in 1968 immediately after graduating from RU ....to become a GA in Psych at Long Beach State. My first wife got into UCLA / Long Beach & because we couldn't afford the $$ / the geography was bad she attended CSULB, graduated with a double major (English / Journalism) / was CEO of her our AD firm (had dealings with DreamWorks). I finally got a Masters in something (MPA). My oldest daughter got into UCLA / graduated with honors, got her masters from CSULB / has been an adjunct professor there for over 5 years. My youngest child (Moette Jr.) got into UC-Riverside / CSULB....and most likely attend the latter.
I live in the west SF valley. I've watched a few games in LA. I have a hard time being in a bar so early in the morning, but did enjoy. My daughter graduated from UC Riverside. She enjoyed her time there; though I wish not so much, she could have gotten better grades and a job and maybe moved out.
I've seen more than one poster who seems to have been a member for a while, yet with a low post count. I just assumed the dates they joined were wrong, and they were relatively new members. I also go into exile for extended periods occasionally, so I may not know members who have just a few years on the board.
Old-timers, we were here before the likes arrived. I'm pretty sure I'd have 10-15 more likes if they'd had them when I first joined:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Plus we are old and we are grouchy, not conducive to likes....... Get off my lawn!!
After reading a pretty vicious thread, I did a search for this one.
Me, member since 2010 lurking since 2006. Not a RU grad but have many friends who have.

RU alumni. Rarely post but have been a member of this board since the time of the Schiano hire when I found out it existed (think it was Rutgers rivals.com). I rarely post and don't follow the board as closely as I used to because it becomes too insane when we lose (especially during a game) and in case you haven't noticed, we lose on occasion.
I also see that it has me as a member since 09-2007 but it has really been since 2001 I think - again when Schiano came on I remember PSU fans on B&W mocking us and saying that we will never, ever become anything in football and also recall SU, BC, Miami, etc... fans posting much the same thing. We may not be great, but we're definitely a player.

Same here - been reading since 2003, but I'm beginning to post more often.
