Obscene fans at Rutgers draw a penalty flag

The play came late in the game, when Rutgers expanded its lead over Navy to a comfortable level after a tight three quarters.

Navy's Reggie Campbell took the kickoff and ran full speed ahead up the middle with all the force his 168-pound body could generate. Campbell, almost always the smallest and fastest man on the field, hit a wall of XXXL-sized scarlet jerseys and was slammed to the ground at the bottom of the pile. He got up slowly, limping off. This gutsy kid, a slotback who already spent three quarters being chased and tackled by gangs of defensive linemen and linebackers, all weighing at least 100 pounds more than him, was then given a dose of Rutgers' student section class.

''You got f---ed up. You got f---ed up. You got f--ed-up," they chanted.

Did you hear about the NY Post article about Corzine regarding that accident?

About 2 months ago, they published an article that said he was riding in the backseat (not the front seat) with a 25 year old blond "assistant" when they got into the accident.

He was NOT riding in the front seat as alleged. Even the doctors said he would have gone through the windshield at that speed without a seat belt.

They changed the story to cover up the incident with his squeeze.

She has since been "moved to another department."

I read that in the Post, too! I believe the Latin term for what happened the moment after the crash is “governus interuptus” :)

I guess she was a smooth haired ho?

I heard even the Bama President has been urging their fans to quit chanting “We Just Beat the Hell Out of You” at their games.

Midshipmen do the same thing when they can get away with it. My USNA summer company got fried when I was a plebe for singing "obscene" songs while marching to Navy-Marine Corps Stadium on game day. We sorta left a trail of shocked tourists in our wake.

That year at Naps really helped.

You mean like the “little bird, with golden bill” song?

My personal favorite, but was not good to sing around tourists.

Enjoy it while you can, Rutgers. When I was at Navy, Rutgers was the team we scheduled at homecoming so we could smash the sh*t out of them in front of the alumni-—that is, if we couldn’t get William and Mary to commit. Reggie Campbell could eat your entire student body for lunch and have room in his gut for even more.

Actually these were original compositions we penned and practiced at Bainbridge for a year. I remember one of the crudest ones went to the Captain 20 tune of "Kids Are People Too". Never underestimate the creativity of bored sailors and marines.

Bring Rutgers and their fans to the LA Coliseum for a scrimage against the Trojans - we will silence them ten minutes into the first quarter...

Yeah, Rutgers doesn’t have all the available cash on hand from their alumni to buy their players things like the Condoms... ahem I mean Trojans.

Yes, we do have an embarrassment of riches at SC. And we love to be hated.

“Unless you’re a Trojan, you probably hope some NFL team dangles a monstrous enough carrot (Brinks truck full of cash, team ownership, full control whatever) that finally lures away the King of L.A. because if Pete Carroll stays at Southern California for much longer, the annual race to the BCS championship game is going to become a yearly chase ‘to see who gets to play SC.” Lindy’s College Football Preview
