OK, I was starting to soften on my Rutgers stance, figuring every school has a few bad apples, but this is institutional. I will rejoice in every Rutgers loss this year, and there will be many. I wonder how the young man in the lower photo feels about the shirt?

In the crowd of 55,000 there may have been 100 of those shirts.
A staffer was going thru 1000's of pictures and posted it to the album without looking at the shirt.
But it's an institutional thing - Come off it
I am not the kind of fan that brings up the issues that happened at Penn State because it was a dark time for your university, and while the issues were not a football program issue in my eyes, it was by all accounts an institutional issue.
So your comment is like the pot calling the kettle black.
It is a T-Shirt.
I have been to 15 different away game stadiums over the last 15 years to watch Rutgers play on the road. There are morons and knuckleheads everywhere.
Examples:
* Uconn I watched a guy wearing an "F" Rutgers shirt push a little kid to the ground.
* Penn State which I have been to on several occasions. I was there for a PSU - OSU game a couple years back and there were many unflattering things I heard come out of the mouths of your fans including telling a guy to go "F" his Mother."
Not to mention this wonderful design that was sanctioned for your white out game and then recalled because someone got smart.
* USF - I had a beer bottle thrown at me while walking thru the parking lot.
* Syracuse - My personal favorite. A T-shirt that said "Beat "Sl**gers" on the front and had a picture of Otto The Orange having intercourse with a Rutgers on the the back
Is that t-shirt in poor taste.... Yes.
Was it a licensed t-shirt through the university - No. As pretty much all of my examples
It's not like they were selling them in the bookstore.
Get a grip.

I believe I will walk again. I do.
When that happens, I already know what I'm going to do.
I'll go to Giants Stadium and find the exact spot in the field where I went down.
I'll lie there for a second. And then I'll get up on my own power and walk away.
