re: Speaking of Rutgers...typical RU fan

I had a really good time and met some cool Rutgers fans. My wife and I walked around the blue lot trying to find some Arkansas fans we met at Stuff Yer Face who said they would be there, but it was just a sea of Rutgers fans and it was like finding a needle in a haystack. Some RU fans saw us walking around and offered us beer, and we ended up spending several hours hanging out and playing beer pong. They offered us some second row sideline tickets but we passed on them because I prefer sitting higher up where I can see plays develop. Oh, and some other RU fans actually led us from the shuttle to the blue lot, which was really nice because it was probably a mile walk from where we started.

I only had a couple of bad experiences and they were pretty 'meh'. It was mostly a case of people being drunk and being a bit too pumped up about the comeback win, I think.

In one instance, two guys were walking next to us as we left the stadium and were talking about the game. They were talking about how CLEARLY the SEC isn't as good as it seems, sure they've won recent championships, but it's all Alabama and Florida, and lately it's just been Alabama!!! I normally don't butt in, but I couldn't help myself, so I interjected, "...and LSU, and Auburn." Really dude? The most tragic thing about all of this is that Rutgers caught us at the absolute worst time--during the JLS and rebuilding year.

The other negative experience was some young guy, obviously a student and probably a freshman or sophomore, who saw my Razorback gear while I was walking back to the train who shouted something to the effect of, "WOOAUGGHHUUUFH blargha bglrgh SEC pussies!!!! [condescendingly] Enjoy the trip home." I just laughed at that one.

The bad stuff was pretty mild in my personal experience.
