9/2/2010 8:49:11 AM

The Rutgers football team will play its 2010 season opener tonite against Norfolk State.

So, on talent alone, I’ve got to go with Rutgers. Add in the fact [...]

So now it’s Mike Rice’s turn to try to re-awake the moribund Rutgers basketball program…a program that has not been to the NCAA Tournament in 19-years and has not won an NCAA Tournament game in 27-years…a program that is firmly planted in the lowest depths of the Big East Conference. By now, we all know [...]
