- Thread starter motorb54

Early weather call looks good at the moment..70-75 daytime...60s all game
I'm wearing Scarlet and I'm not sorry.
BTW it is a Football Letterwinner Day too!

Washington just went up 10 zip . They look good so far.
We will have our hands full Friday. Washington up 17 zip.
And I’m damned excited that I’m flying back for the game!
Wear black or stay in the parking lots.
Midway through our game, Huskies fans could have been saying. "RU is up 23-7, we will have our hands full." Let's see how this plays out.
I hate blackouts- should be scarlet- 2006 L’Ville game would not be iconic if black stormed the field
We come out balanced on O and AK is as accurate as he was today, we have a good chance to win. Just need to make the right coaching decisions consistently or at minimum in the key spots.
Northwestern is a bad football team this year. They lost a lot from that 8-5 team last year. Their QB makes Wimsatt look accurate.
Will be an all time frenzy. But will still look half empty at kickoff
Playing a team that was in last year’s natty. How cool is that?
A LOT of tickets available on Stub Hub. Some as low as $40.
I generally get a good sense of how games will sell based on friends and family demand/interest. This feels like a good (not yet great) crowd. Probably one of the best in a long time but not 2014 type great yet.
Being Friday night in NJ will make for a shortened tailgate and tough travel for nearly all. I expect students to turn up and have a great night.

They offered 4 free tickets to every employee of Piscataway School District. Sales clearly aren't great.
Com’on bro
Has it ever really worked? We don't have enough season ticket holders to dominate the stadium. I believe we are at 22k season tickets. That means more then half of the stadium is people that aren't diehard fans and clueless about the blackout.
Besides I hate getting behind a gimmick made popular by Penn State.
Will just barely make this one, lol. When we scheduled our 2-week vacation in OCNJ 9 months ago, this game was scheduled for Saturday, when we check out, so figured I'd be able to make even a noon game, but then when it was moved to Friday, I had to do some serious negotiating to get to this game on Friday night. Will miss the tailgate, but will make the game, at least. Can't wait for this one. Biggest home game in awhile.
Yes…VERY WELL vs Michigan and a couple other times….id expect close (but not) to 100% this Friday to be honest.
Ok @AreYouNUTS just for you. I'll wear my favorite Scarlet shirt for the tailgate and a black one to the game. However, if the blackout is a failure I'm going take off the black shirt and go shirtless and NOBODY wants to see that and it will be all your fault
Lane stadium was nearly full 20 minutes prior to the kickoff. We cannot get half of our butts in seats at the kickoff…
They successfully build an entrance tradition that has become as big as the game
I’ve always thought we could, and should, do that with Livin’ on a Prayer and Sir Scarlet
Make it a real Jersey thing that people don’t wana miss
That’s okay we had to see @RUScrew85 go shirtless Friday ….Ok @AreYouNUTS just for you. I'll wear my favorite Scarlet shirt for the tailgate and a black one to the game.

They out scored us 16-3 for the rest of the gameSuks Big time.We have a long way to go and I don't know if the coaches can get it done.YesI am putting our crappy performance on them
Strange thing- it always seemed like we had decent crowds at entrance back in the 1.0 days.
It’ll be that way Friday.
Used to love the Bring them out while the team was walking through the tunnel.
One of RU's best wins in the past ten years was against Michigan. It was a blackout night game and it was glorious.
