Talk About the Silly Season!

Hey, I'm all for jumping onto a feel-good bandwagon as much as the next guy, but this Rutgers football boomlet may be getting out of hand. There are media references to the "RU Nation" and fears that Coach Schiano may be lured away are prompting talk of Bob Stoops-like pay packages to keep Schiano in New Brunswick (see, even I am talking like Rutgers is some long-standing powerhouse assuming that New Brunswick is as obvious a reference as, say, Norman, Ann Arbor, or Athens). As one of the newest passengers on the bandwagon, I say hold the jellybeans and let's see how the Kinghts do against Louisville and West Virginia. Let's beat those teams and then we can talk about taking on Ohio State for the National Championship!
