probably my favorite video on all of youtube. i was only 9 during this game and i can remember almost every snap hahaha we will be back there again someday

@rutgersfan39 Glad to here you like it. Yeah, just when you think they are going to give us just a slice of what that night was like again, they lay an egg like last week. I agree though - let's keep up the faith.

Thanks, JBB. Yes, and all that nonsense from that Syracuse-owned rag, "The Star-Ledger" would never have been written over the last 5 years.

I'm an Ohio State fan through and through, and I will always love my buckeyes. But this season forever made me a Rutgers fan :)

[LBusDoor90]

@TheKyleish Good stuff, TK. I'll welcome you to the RU bandwagon 4 years later then!

@SUNSNARE06 Good comeback dude. I won't even call you scum, because that would be an insult to the scum of the Earth. When you can come up with something more creative comeback and post something otherwise don't waste my time or yours (like yours matters).

[SUNSNARE06]

@TheEdquito

Nope! You guys had NO ONE at the Pinstripe Bowl and now that Shady is gone, you guys will suck for the rest of eternity

[TheEdquito]

@SUNSNARE06 Good one, picking on an 11 year old. Why don't do you go get emotional in one of your Syracuse videos. God. You're such a loser, I'm not even gonna bother to continue dissing you. At least Rutgers got somewhere this year, which is more than can be said about Syracuse. So sad your team has a NY address and Rutgers is still NYC team.

[crusherfan53]

I'm not even a Rutgers fan, but damn I was rooting for them that year! I wanted to see them in the title game.

@rutgers2825
