The Big Day

Yesterday was a big day for Rutgers football; the 2008 schedule was released (sort of). I've long been a critic of the padded schedule - since the days of high school softball, but that's a different story all together. Anyway, this year it seems Rutgers is maintaining the status quo of mediocre non-conference games, both home and away. What good is winning if we're beating Norfolk State 59 -0? With that said, my only hope is that we're holding out for something enticing - possibly a three or four year commitment - with that looming TBA spot in September.
