Happy Thanksgiving! It is a great day of the year, a truly American holiday. A time to give thanks for the bounty we have. And we’re celebrating on this Thursday with a slightly different approach as we offer our last installment of:
This Week....in Rutgers....Football....History (*echoing* history...history....history)
First off, colleges do not - with rare exceptions - play on Thanksgiving. In New Jersey, high schools play (or they used to) on Thanksgiving. When Phillipsburg and Easton (PA) play today on Thanksgiving it will be the 111th time; that is tradition.
But colleges don’t play on Thanksgiving, although Rutgers tried it in 2004.
