Wisky: I don't think RU has ever brought its full band to the Rent, but I'm certain that they've brought a smaller "pep band" at least once. But I can't swear it was last year.

Thanks, I heard they used to have a band, but they broke up and now play QB for Buffalo and Western Michigan.

Pretty simple solution. Find a way to seat the UConn band Saturday or their band doesn't come to Rent next year. Can't remember if RU band came to Rent last yr.

Won't be surprised if this gets escalated to AD/prez level fairly quickly

Coach...thats gotta be 5 Snooki references this week. Starting to think you secretly lust for the skank. :)
A. It's Snooki Week in the 'Yard.
B. She's young enough to be my daughter
C. She's self absorbed, nutty as a fruit cake, can't hold her liquor, has a very oversized Ego (all traits of the denizons of the Raritan).

Hmm.:D

I don't think RU has a band. Was in the UCMB and pep band and only time I ever saw a person carrying/pretending to play an instrument was during a BE Tourney game for the women's team. They came over to talk to us and see a real band because the game was delayed due to a leaky Gampel roof

The Rutgers Marching Band is so inept and bush league that you don't even need to be a Rutgers student to be a participant. So long as you have an orange tan and can blow you belong. Even though the requirements to join apply to every citizen in the state of New Jersey, and they have such a limitless applicant pool, it still is underwhelming, underfunded and much like Rutgers athletic department in general, third rate.

They were at the game that I think it was Moses, fumbled a punt late to give us a short field and the win.

That was in fact Trev Moses in '03 -- the one year we played at the Rent before we joined the Big East. I don't remember their band. What I remember from that day is learning (without understanding) that, on a late fall day, it can somehow be 20 degrees cooler on the visitor's side of the stadium than it is in the parking lots.

Did their "band" come to Rentschler last year?


No, they didn't bring a band but they did bring like 50 recruits! I remember them all on the sideline in black Rutgers wind pants and jackets. Not sure exactly how many came but they stretched from the Rutgers bench to the 10 yard line. I guess that there isn't enough money left for a band when you do that....

I don't blame them...saves Snookie from embarrassment. The last time a visiting marching band came to Jersey Stadium, the RU marching 10 got blown out of the water....err..snow.

They don't allow any music you can't pump your fist to. I'm pretty sure it's not Rutgers' rule, but a NJ state law.

Me, Jimmy Serrano, MattMang, etc., are what happens when Italians emigrate to Connecticut. The following is what happens when Italians emigrate to New Jersey. Fist pumps, pushups, and chapstick...

When I think of jersey I think of this place in Hoboken called Lana Lounge. Nothing but blowouts, spray tans and sunglasses at night.

Is that Rutgersal or Ogi Oglethorpe's girlfriend on the far right at the end of the pinwheel?

Must be Rutgersal's squeeze... I saw him in the stands blowing her kisses.
