Rutgers football tailgaters believe last weekend was a positive tipping point for the Scarlet Knights. The belief among the brats and B1G fans was we are about to become the first class program envisioned in November 2012 when we were invited to the Big Ten. The tailgaters agree—we’re finally acting as if we belong in the B1Gs.
If you don’t tailgate (or attend Rutgers games) you are missing a unique, incredibly fun college experience. Pro game tailgating at Giants, Jets, or even (gasp!) Eagles games is OK. Yet, college level tailgating is mellower, friendlier and less confrontational. My NFL tailgates often gave me the feeling we were about five minutes away from the wrong people erupting into a shouting/brawling brouhaha.
