Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 2730863, member: 780"] I would like to pass along my compliments to the RU fan on their board who just posted the most insightful comment ever made about RU football and their fans. He said, "Rooting for Rutgers football is like rooting for the 1962 Mets" You have to have been around in 1962 to appreciate that so if you were born after 1946, you probably won't really understand how bad the Mets were in their first year and who the Mets fans were and why. They were stunningly inept. When Mgr Casey Stengel asked, "Can anybody here play this game?", no one complained. The fans that flocked to the Mets must have been Yankee haters left over from the departure of the Dodgers and the Giants. Or maybe there is some portion of NYers who like rooting for losers. But unlike baseball, where the worst teams get the first choice in the draft, in CFB it's the opposite. So RU will not be getting Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman and Gentry anytime soon. [/QUOTE]
