The current SI has an article called "First Team to Worst Team" about the sorry state of Rutgers football. (It's not on-line yet.) The "First team" reference is to the fact that they played in the first college football game in the US, (it was really a soccer game) in 1869.

I sent them a latter to the editor:

Dear Sirs,

Shouldn’t your recent lament for Rutgers football, (First Team to Worst Team, November 18-25 2019), have included an interview with Professor William Dowling, who had so much to say about Rutgers football in your previous article on it, (Why Can’t Rutgers Ever Win, August 25, 2003). Rutgers had some success after that article but they have now come full circle, so I would assume Dowling has quite a bit to say about what has happened and where they are now.
