Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Yoooooooouuuuu. (RU)
I kicked off my sports-filled weekend on Friday night with a trip up the New Jersey Turnpike to watch the Scarlet Knights take on Navy's Midshipmen. I recall asking the feller I was with as Navy took the field "Is it proper to boo servicemen?" So the two of us golf clapped for our sailors-to-be.
It seems we were among the few at Rutgers Stadium that night with a touch of class.
From today's Star Ledger: Obscene fans at Rutgers draw a penalty flag
Navy was booed and peppered with "You suck!" chants when they stepped on the field for both halves. Toward the end of the second half, Rutgers students in the new bleacher section began to serenade the adjacent section of Navy fans and uniformed Midshipmen.
''F--- you, Navy. F---you, Navy. F--- you, Navy."
I did hear the a-hole chants directed at the zebras in the penalty-laden game, but I guess I wasn't within earshot of the f-bombs.
