30 Reasons for 30 Days - Day 1: Because It’s Here!

By JimHoffman@RURahFan Sep 2, 2016, 7:00am EDT

Well, boys and girls, we made it! It is finally here, college football season. And our own Scarlet Knights take the field tomorrow against the Washington Huskies out in Seattle. In preparation for the event over the past 30 days, I’ve been counting it down by offering reasons for each day why it is great to be a Rutgers football fan.

No more waiting now. It is here! For some of the Big Ten Conference schools, it actually arrived last evening. Our friends out in Bloomington beat the FIU Panthers, and Minnesota beat the Oregon State Beavers. Tonight, Michigan State takes on mighty Furman in Lansing. But the “real season” begins tomorrow. By “real season” I mean the majority of the games in the lion’s share of conferences in the Power 5, the Group of Five, and FCS schools as well.
