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.

Yeah the stadium was definitely not full. The corners in the lower deck were maybe 60% full in the second half. It got loud, I guess, but it was a poor showing.
I agree that most of the negativity came from students after the game. I didn't have any problems at all before the game. The guy who was clueless about college football and the SEC was some older guy, probably in his 50s or early 60s.
I think the worst thing about the fans is that they clearly thought they upset a big bad SEC team, and didn't realize that they were actually the favorites. Just people not really knowing WTF was going on. They didn't offend me as an Arkansas fan, they offended me as a college football fan.
