It is long past time to make this announcement, which Rutgers Athletics did today:
Rutgers Athletics will honor the 2006 and 1976 football teams in celebration of the 10th and 40th anniversaries at upcoming home games at High Point Solutions Stadium. The 2006 team will be recognized at the game versus Indiana on Nov. 5, while the 1976 will be honored on Nov. 19 for the contest against Penn State.
Here at On the Banks, this conversation has been going on for a while. We asked should we honor 2006 team now - at its tenth anniversary - and also why aren’t we honoring the 40th anniversary of only the second undefeated football team in school history.
