Big Night

Three Bowl games tonight - December 28th - that magical college football night - I remember in 1999 PSU played on the 28th, against Texas A&M - I didn't get the channel that the game was on so I went to a local Bella Vista bar/restaurant by myself - had dinner and quietly watched the game. I was sitting in front of one of the TVs - and really didn't move the entire game. After PSU had sealed the win, I happily closed my tab, gathered my stuff and made my way out of the now crowded joint - on my way out, to my surprise, multiple people "high fived" me, a few saying "we were watching you" - I guess I wasn't as "quiet" as I thought I'd been.

So, to all of those Rutgers fans who must go out tonight to be able to see their Scarlet Knights - I bid you "R!U! rah rah R!U! rah rah!" Everyone who is a fan of college football and didn't actually go to KSU - is a Knight fan tonight (or at least they should be).
