Joe Jennings hasn't given up hope. If you're looking for one crack of sunlight in another dismal Rutgers season, one reason to feel good about a program barreling toward a 1-11 finish and the Big Ten basement, you'll find him tailgating in the Green Lot before games.
He'll even give you a burger and a beer -- or, if you're like many fans these days and need something a little harder, he'll have that ready, too. All around Piscataway, fans are swearing that they are done buying season tickets, done with Saturday afternoons watching this team get embarrassed, done with head coach Chris Ash and the never-ending rebuilding.
