Last season, Rutgers University, the State University of New Jersey, made its first football Bowl appearance in 137 years, playing Kansas State in the 2006 Texas Bowl to an impressive 37-10 win. Although Rutgers last year was in the competition for the BCS, with an 11-2 overall record, after beating sixth ranked Louisville, they eventually lost to West Virginia, knocking them out of contention. Rutgers has returning running back Ray Rice who adds an incredible speed dimension to Rutgers' overall program. Head coach Greg Schiano had previously said that he wanted to make Rutgers football better by recruiting from within the state of New Jersey, because New Jersey (in my words) is a "hotbed of athletic talent". Of course I am saying that because I went to high school in New Jersey, and the level of competition is phenomenal.Rutgers opens the season on August 30th against Buffalo. While the competitive level of the teams Rutgers plays in the Big East is definitely lacking, if they continue to win, they will be able to move into either a tougher conference or play better teams.
For the entire season to honor Rutgers Football, I have changed the border font to the closest color to Scarlet, since Rutgers are the Scarlet Knights.

Red is hard to read against the purple. Maybe white and red against black? Maybe a dark gray? I think the Hex Color code is #333333. EIther that or #999999... Maybe Red against Dark Blue? Hum.... play with it. The red vibrates off the purple...
By the way, smashing party you and Kelly held! I look forward to her blog postings... so I can hear the other half of the Pace philosophy. :)
