Only a week after winning the biggest football game in their history, the University of Louisville has to do it again tonight. They are playing another undefeated team, only this time they have to go to Rutgers and do it on the road.
The football cleat is now on the other foot, as this is the biggest game in Rutger’s football history (well, since they defeated Princeton 6-4 in the very first intercollegiate football game ever, back a bazillion or so years ago).
Mr. B is actually a Rutgers alumnus. He got his MBA at their Newark campus, going to night school. He only got mugged once on the way to class.
We are both hoping that Rutgers finishes with a great season. With only one loss. Tonight.
UPDATE: If you want a perspective from the dark other side, check out my friend Annie’s post (no longer available). In fact, she and I now have a bet that the loser has to post the score and the winning team’s logo on her site for a week. Let’s go, Cards!

Oh my, this mention of Newark brought back memories! *shiver*
On my 2nd visit to Feller’s home a few years back, I had to drive from Old Short Hills to Newark to pick him up at the hospital where he filled in at the ER on a rotating schedule occasionally. Never before or since have I been so nervous or scared! I am originally from a little town of 6000 in south Arkansas and driving through the tolls and the traffic into the heart and hoods of seedy Newark at 10:00 at night was a nightmare for me! (all I had for direction was a hastily scrawled map and instructions by him) Oh, I saw some folks that I knew would just as soon shoot me as to look at me! I was petrified until I found the ER entrance and I told my Feller I was NOT ever doing that again! I would gladly sit all day and night in his apartment with no car if he had to work again….and I did. He made it up to me by taking me to Greenwich Village on Halloween night. Now I ask you, was that an improvement?! (well, yes, it was…we had a blast actually!)
Good luck…as a new fellow Kentuckian, I will be cheering along with you.
p.s. This is not a racial or profiling thing…if you have ever been to the depths of Newark at night, you KNOW what I mean. It IS a scary place, especially for a naive, white country chick with no street smarts! yikes.
Bummer!
