Message: [QUOTE="Roger N, post: 4370314, member: 25"] I lived in Newark for 11 years and now live in South Jersey and can report that there was little interest in Rutgers football until they had that magical year in 2006. Primarily using Ray Rice, who had agreed to go to SU but when G Rob didn't follow up, went to Rutgers instead. Rutgers went slowly downhill after that until Shinao jumped ship for the Tampa Bay Bucs. I still don't see a large Rutgers fan base in New Jersey. Northern Jersey roots for NYC pro teams and South Jersey roots for Philly teams It took Dino a few years until he started aggressively recruiting South Jersey and it is paying off big time. [/QUOTE]
