RUTGERS... DOES IT AGAIN...9-0

What a game... what a night... I have waited 14 years for a night like last night and it was truly an amazing night... My alma mater shut up a lot of critics last night (half of which I work with-ish.) That does not include you Mr. Artie Lange... you have been "believing" for awhile now...



I am not sure why... but I am still super psyched about it all and I am not sure what to say except it was an incredible experience to be in the stadium as RU made that final drive after completely shutting down Louisville in the second half.

Overall... aside from a couple plays that turned out to be big plays... Rutgers actually dominated the Louisville offense.



There was a lot of talk on the radio on the way home and on Sportscenter this morning about where Rutgers should actually be in the BCS rankings after this game...including a few that think they should be considered for the Championship game now if they win it out....

It is a bit of a stretch, but Rutgers did just beat a top 5 team, they destroyed an Illinois team that gave Ohio State a heart attack, they beat Navy worse than Notre Dame beat them, they went into a sold out Heinz field and trampled on a Pitt team that at the time was ranked one spot out of the top 25 and heralded the #1 quarterback in passing efficiency. They made Tyler Palko look silly and when it came to crunch time in the Louisville game they made Brian Brohm look silly.

It seems as if people don't give Rutgers the respect they deserve because they are a "cinderella team" and they don't want them to buck "tradition". Tradition that teams like Florida, USC, Notre Dame, Michigan, etc. are the only teams that should play in a championship game and when relatively recently good teams like UWV, Louisville, and Rutgers start winning games it's assumed that they will never stand a chance against those teams with such a long history of winning. It's as if people think there's no room for these teams among the perennial powerhouses but I will say this....they should move over and make some room cause these big east teams are coming.

And with that... I leave you... still jumping for joy.
