50 years ago tonight...

Rutgers defeated Army with Bobby Knight and Mike Krzyzewski. Pretty cool to read, especially because The Daily Targum writer (Dan Robinovitz) is a friend of mine...

Wasn't aware that Higgins, Burr and Hightower were the refs back then. 40 to 10 ft's.

Bill Parcells was also at West Point at the time. Linebacker coach in 1966,1967. The next two years as defensive coordinator. Rutgers managed twelve points in his three years and were shutout by Parcells defense in 1968. No game in 1969.

"Interestingly Knight mentions this game in his book, Knight, My Story, but not so much about the game itself. After incorrectly stating that Rutgers was undefeated at the time, the focal point is NFL Football Hall of Fame coach, Bill Parcells then on the Army staff and on the Army bench during the game. Supposedly while Knight and the Army team were heading downstairs to their locker room, a fan tried to hit Knight with a program, missed, only to be "cold-cocked" by Parcells. Worried that he faced imminent arrest, Parcells told Knight who had the Army players surround Parcells as they walked out to their bus without further incident."

Burr really was the ref for that game?

Probably Larry Lembo was the alternate.
