People actually want to go watch Rutgers Football




A few years ago, Pre-Schiano, Rutgers was the laughing stock of college football. Their lone highlight was the first college football game in 1869. A lot has changed since then. Rutgers has had their eyes on bowl games, championships and five star recruits. They went from drug-addicted Josh Hamilton to home-run bashing Josh Hamilton (I freaking love this guy) in just a few short years.

Now Rutgers is trying to capitalize on their recent success with some stadium improvements. By 2009 13,000 seats will be added to the stadium that attempts to look like they actually house a top-25 program. The changes will cost Rutgers over 100 mil but it is something that needs to be done. The school has not had much to cheer or revel in since 1869.

With the hiring of Greg Schiano eight years ago RU committed to taking this program to the upper levels of college football. As more and more big time recruits visit the school they need to show them an impressive arena one that will attract them to the school.

Kudos to RU.

Tim Tebow wears Josh Hamilton pajamas. And maybe w/ these upgrades we'll actually be able to get tickets before they sell out this year.

Take a look at what the SEC is charging for tickets, especially UGA. Haven't had a chance to look at it in-depth, but its a crapload. Welcome back.
