For those looking to meet up the morning of the game, this message is from Eric Clark, president of the Rutgers Club of Chicago (and former Rutgers basketball player). I don’t think there’s much in the way of bars near the stadium that are open before 11am but anyone who wants to BYOB and hang...
Definitely. I think we've had the lowest registration every year, even behind Maryland. But still always a great time (this will be my fourth year) and a lot of fun hanging with the other alums at the Rutgers tent.
Potbelly is my favorite chain by far. Here in Chicago there's one on every corner. But no better sandwich anywhere than a sub from Vito's in Hoboken. In Chicago you can't get a sandwich with fresh mozzarella, they put provolone on an "Italian" sub. Drives me crazy.
I stayed at the SpringHill Suites on Olentangy River Road. Highly recommend. Walking distance to the stadium (they also offer a free shuttle) and free breakfast and there's a bar in the lobby. It's next door to the Varsity Inn, where a lot of RU fans also stayed, but much newer and nicer.
From what I recall, when Schiano was hired there were only three commits. Chris Loomis ended up signing and the other two were encouraged to explore other options.
Wright retweeted offensive song lyrics and was expelled from Bosco as a result. As others stated, there was much debate here about whether we should take him and opinion was pretty much split.
You can never go wrong with buying a woman flowers. I don't think a gift is necessary but flowers will definitely be appreciated. I wasn't planning to ask my father in law's blessing but at the last minute I called him (they lived in Pittsburgh) and I was surprised at how much the gesture meant...
