The UNC @ Rutgers 9/11 Game

There had been some questions as to how this game would be handled because of the date and proximity to NYC. Scarletknights.com released the game preview today:

I really wish I had a ticket for this game right now. Should be a great experience for those in attendance.

And remember, Thursdays were made for Rutgers . . .

I have to drive down 287 from Exit 13 to Exit 1 at 10:00 or so. How much traffic is there going to be from this game?

 

Game time in a few minutes. Super pumped.

 

If Rutgers doesn't win, then the terrorists win.

 

Today, most of our town's power went out, randomly, at ~6:15 AM. There some people (students AND parents) who thought it possibly could have been a terrorist attack.

What the fuck?

 

Friend's at the game.

Game time!

 

Who goes to Rutgers games? Is everyone related to a student? Where do they live?

 

Pass deflected.

My cousin is a freshman this year (he also lives in Edison). Hopefully I can talk him into taking me into a game

I don't think my friend doesn't have any relatives in Rutgers.

 

Nice move by Brooks, between the tackles.

 

The stadium is bigger and this game is sold out. Who are these fans? Rutgers isn't a great story this year and this is certainly not college football country.

 

I'd guess mostly students

 

hm. Is it too late to get Ray Rice back?

 

Wow so much for the Big East

 

Oh c'mon. Now it's just getting out of hand.

 

There are only 7,500 student tickets, I think. I'm not sure of the exact number, but it's somewhere around there. Games sell out quick; I didn't get a ticket for tonight's game (obviously).

I think our offense is allergic to the opponents side of the field. Seriously, wtf? Put Chris Paul-Etienne in. UNC probably has no idea who he is.

 

and to think I was upset I couldn't go because I had class

 

I had class at 5:15 on Douglas. Traffic was so bad that I didn't make it to the building until after the class was over. Calc II isn't important anyway. Next time we have a weeknight game, I'm leaving for class 3 hours early. It's ridiculous how delayed the buses get.

 

i had a class on douglass at 550 with a resesatation (sp?) right after. Good thing I live on Douglass lol. But I hate the buses I have a lab on Wendsday night it sucks.
