Doing so gives RU the opportunity to knock the King off his throne.(note that I said opportunity NOT chance) The Chance will have to be earned by our players during the game.That's why they play the game.There are 60 minutes to see if RU can make it happen. It will be good watching to see if this gets done.I have great hopes,not expectations,that it will be accomplished on Saturday.:sunglasses:
We are hosting the # 1 team in the country,first time ever I think
- Thread starter beaced
- Start date
Op with a big swing and a miss. Played Miami in 2002 and had a lead you dope.
I think it might be the second time that #1 has come into Rutgers Stadium. But we also hosted Alabama at Giants Stadium in 1980 when they were #1 following two national championships, IIRC, and nearly knocked them off, losing by 17-13. That was one of the very few times that RU ever achieved much of a home field advantage at GS. It was also, I believe, the largest gathering ever of RU fans in one place until the Cincinnati game of 2009 in the re-re-expanded campus stadium.
Was the "you dope" really necessary super fan? Does belittling others make your fandom even more super? it's against board rules to denigrate other posters despite the onslaught that poor Rutgers AL gets after his unabashed optimism
alas it still wasn't like Big Time Football because then the RV's would have arrived on Thursday and the game would be on campus.
Pitt 1981 @ Meadowlands? Dan Marino? I think that was our 2nd time.

Yes it is 3x we have hosted #1

They were unranked when they played here in 1999. So unless they came in another year they are not on the list.
Alabama -1980
Pitt -1981
Miami - 2002
And now OSU

I think Florida in 1985 would have been #1 if they weren't on probation...we tied them in Gainsville
I wonder about Princeton...
They must have been #1 at some point when we played them given their powerhouse years...
Then again, for lots of years we played every year at Princeton...

Super fan- if you notice- he says "I think"...show some freaking respect to the man. He has earned it on this board and I am very sure he has earned it in life. And I can assure you he has watched more football then any of us. If he made a mistake- there is no reason for your comment.
According to the AP Poll Archive, the only time RU played Princeton when they were a top 15 team was on October 6, 1952 in Princeton when they were ranked #13.
