Chris Ash entered that wild celebration after his first Big Ten victory as Rutgers head coach completely dry, but when it was over, he reemerged looking like he had spent a few minutes on the wrong end of a fire hose. And he loved every sloppy minute of it.
The Ash we are accustomed to seeing on the sideline is almost always wearing a scowl on his face.
