<p>^^^ I agree, this past fall I must admit it was actually FUN following RU football, anticipating the televised games, seeing red sweatshirts everywhere. Was nice for a change to not have to root for only Penn State, the closest college with a “real” football team. Jersey pride!</p>
<p>I am sad and surprised about the loss of the other sports, particularly rowing. Is that true? I’m pretty sure I just read of a local girl who just committed to RU for rowing. Our (shore) area has produced lots of recruited rowers to some of the best schools, including Rutgers. Local rowing recruits who aren’t recruited by Penn or Princeton often attend Rutgers, close enough for family members to attend the races.</p>
