    Big Ten helmets...and uniforms, ranked worst to best. Guess who won (lost)

    Rutgers started putting stars on the helmet for interceptions starting in 1960. In the years that followed, our opponents back then started doing the same thing. And then the high school teams in the East followed suit. Rutgers led the nation in interceptions in 1961. So it was known that we...

    OT: Who makes the BEST Pizza You’ve ever had?

    I did try a friend's suggestion and put hot sauce on a slice or two. Not bad. Different, but not bad.

    OT: Who makes the BEST Pizza You’ve ever had?

    Frank's Pizza and Italian Restaurant is next to the parking lot of Shop Rite of East Brunswick on Route 18. Stopped in there a few times returning from the shore because their sicilian pie was really good. Plain slices good too. https://www.frankspizzeriaeastbrunswick.com/

    This Could Have Been SHI Stadium. . . .

    Skip the first 1:29 below and play on the scoreboard when the team is coming down the tunnel. Fire the cannon when the video ends. This is us: Too bad the words are so foreign. It would've scared the crap out of the opponent hearing 50,000 fans scream that out.

    OT: Who makes the BEST Pizza You’ve ever had?

    And on that note..... I have had the pizza at the New Park Tavern sports bar and restaurant along the train tracks in East Rutherford, NJ and it is very good. I love pizza but it's hard to zero in on one type of pizza. Their thin crust is crunchy and delicious. But I also like thick, gooey...

    OT: Who makes the BEST Pizza You’ve ever had?

    No doubt. But being a college student, I had no money to go there anyway. I wouldn't go any further than Greasy Tony's (although my friends frequented Cheap Thrills). And even Greasy Tony's was a bit dicey.

    OT: Who makes the BEST Pizza You’ve ever had?

    Back in the 1970s we tended to stay away from the town proper unless you could run real fast. That said, wish I'd known about Church Street Trattoria.
