And Chris Ash becomes the second Rutgers head coach to meet a United States President. Frank Burns stood in a group photo on April 8, 1983 when Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr. made speeches at the Eagleton Institute of Politics and the Nicholas Music Center.

Really cool story

I wonder what number they gave him. 1? 44?

It would be funny if during the last month or two of his presidency, that Obama starts conducting all of his business wearing all of the honorary jerseys he has received over eight years. That's gotta be well over a hundred jerseys, though.

Great story, thanks. Also, noticed the LeGrand-Obama story linked on the same page - another good one that I assume was posted about earlier, but I must have missed. Can't put a price on the incredibly positive PR RU received as a result of the Obama visit and speech. Priceless.

666

It would be appropriate if it were 52

The number was retired.

Red is the best color for him

Yeah- I didn't realize the President was going to play. It is symbolic and with his recent comments back and forth with EL- it would make sense

He'd look a lot better doing that than Kevin Smith would.
