They said it wouldn't happen. What a night! What a game!
And we were there (45 yard line, 6 rows back) with 44,111 others. Afterwards, we stormed the field with the crowd (almost getting crushed by shoulder-hoisted Jeremy Ito in the process).
True, I thought my husband was crazy when he suggested season tickets last year. But it sure felt great being season ticket holders this year -- we haven't missed a home game. And after 20 years as Rutgers fans, it feels great to have a team that wins -- on national TV!
I tell you that I almost wept! First when we got within 3 points, then when we tied the game, and once again when Ito missed the field goal.
Thank goodness the kids have off today, because we were EXHAUSTED after yesterday. We got there at 12:30 p.m. in a rented RV and didn't get home until about 1 a.m. and then stayed up to watch ESPN highlights. It was all unreal.
Rutgers remains undefeated at 9-0. Unbelievable.
