September 27, 1969.
I attended my first college football game. Not first Rutgers game (although it was), but my first college football game ever. It was the college football Centennial game. Rutgers won the first game in 1869 and we did it again in 1969. Same opponent, same result.
And during my four years “on the banks”, I went 3-1 versus the Tigers. One of the best records for a student in any four year period.
There was a tie and a loss the two years after graduation, and then, over the next five seasons, Rutgers went 5-0 versus Old Nassau, outscoring them 133-33.
