Rutty fans handling the Cuse resurgence well

[PeteCalvin]

I remember exactly where I was when I heard the WSYR call on Rob Moore’s TD in 1987. My friends and I were jumping around the parking lot as our HS homecoming game was going on in the background. That was one glorious day for us young SU football fans and the sign that we were going to have a special season.

Fast forward 8 years when I had to go to State College a couple of times on business. I remember seeing the news coverage in Syracuse when some rabid SU fans painted the Nittany Lion orange and all the crap the University took for it. When I laid eyes on that iconic lion for the first time I took a real close look. Sure enough, there was still orange paint in all of crevices!! I walked away with a huge grin on my face and couldn’t help but chuckle. After all that time, the Orange was still leaving a mark on Happy Valley.

WAR OTTO!!! (If that’s still a thing on here. It has been a long time for me.)

AND - former "big boy" programs like Nebraska & Sparty are gonna be perpetual losers in this new P2 landscape.

I think they may already be there. Just an opinion, but neither has been noteworthy for some time.

That’s awesome! My friend was at the WVU game later that season. He tried to describe to me how loud it was in there when Michael Owens scored the 2-pt conversion. He said he couldn’t hear himself scream and felt like the entire upper deck of the Dome was going to collapse. I wish I had been there for those moments. The closest I have is being there for Pearl’s shot against BC and McNabb’s throwback to Brominski.

I was there for Owens and Bromiski as well. Not quite as loud as PennSt game. If I remember correctly. Lol

I have been in the Dome for a ton of events and that and Miami in ‘92 was the loudest IMO

That was super loud, as was Penn state. When McNabb ran out on senior Day before blowing Miami out that place was electric as well. So many amazing moments. So many more to come.

Welcome back!

We've never been good at the same time. When one program is up, the other is way down. Hopefully we'll be evening out a bit to have more heat.

I've actually never had a negative interaction with a Pitt fan. Even at the height of our basketball rivalry I had some good times with Pitt fans at the Big East Tournament. Narduzzi is quite unlikeable though, so if we can get some high stakes games, it would mean more.

You need to drink more at games, their fans become real easy to hate

In fairness, Rutgers fans don't handle anything well.

Time for the student body to run naked suicides, a Rutgers tradition.

What about the opening kickoff return by Dar Dar against the Gators?

Yup. Was there as well. Really loud! The build up when he was breaking away ….

 

[CousCuse]

It was like a jet engine winding up for take off. And then beating the Gators on every significant play all game long, Steve Spurriers Gators, That was high times. Maybe they come back around now.

The crowd going absolutely crazy was the only reason Florida even knew Dar Dar was flying towards the end zone.

 

[JDubbin]

As a kid I was at the McNabb senior day game as well... I agree, when he walked out of the tunnel it was the loudest I'd ever heard heard the Dome, it still gives me chills thinking about it. Then, to DOMINATE Miami the way they did that day, will always be one of the best live sports experiences of my life.

Even I pissed yourself.

This is the last thing I remember about Rutgers

They clip will NEVER get old. It should be played on loop at the Melo Center.

 

[DoctorBombay]

Didn't see any of those moments live, unfortunately.
But I was in NOLA for the Sugar Bowl vs Tie-Dye and Auburn. Afterwards on Bourbon Street, I remember being drunk and spoiling for a fight with Auburn fans, who seemed quite happy to "pull out" a tie.
We were looking at an undefeated season, while those POS' were celebrating a tying FG? The name "Pat Dye" is anathema in my house. Still ticks me off to this day!!!

My favorite hit on Rutgers!!

Ohio State, UM and PSU to Rutgers...:It's losing schools like you that help give us wins at the top, here's your check.".
