Rutgers and Princeton wrestled on Super Bowl Sunday, and it was glorious

Wrestling is as Jersey as the Sopranos, listening to Springsteen while driving on the Turnpike and Boardwalk fries at the shore.

Rutgers coach Scott Goodale and Princeton coach Chris Ayres are both Jersey guys too. ...Goodale from Jackson, while Ayres from Newton.

And so on a day when most sports fans around the country were focused on the Super Bowl, Goodale and Ayres relished Sunday's emotionally-charged 19-18 Rutgers victory at the RAC in front of over 5,200 fans that took in one of the state's favorite sports.

Not only was the match well-attended, it was tremendous theater for those in attendance and wrestling fans who watched on TV or on-line around the country.
