Dear Old Rutgers
Oy. With Rutgers up by ten at halftime I figured they could at least play Cincinnati even up for two more quarters on home field. But their total third quarter collapse knocked them way out of the top 25. This was traditional Scarlet Knights athletics on display, good teams that can't close the deal. With the Carrier Dome, South Florida, Mountaineers, untested but 5-0 UConn & dangerous Louisville remaining, at best they're headed for another meaningless brand name bowl game. Thought they could win this one. Welcome to the world of the BCS. Less than halfway into the season & nobody outside of Jersey cares anymore. Take a lesson from USC & Stanford: Anybody can beat you, you can beat anybody.
Cincinnati 28, Rutgers 23. That's the University of Cincinnati Ohio.

The Cinderella lustre has finally been worn off of the Scarlet Knights' helmets. We'll see who is left on the bandwagon, although from watching Brian Leonard's decent performance on Sunday for the NFL's Rams, perhaps Rutgers miss a guy who was the program's heart, soul and brains. Give credit to Cincy for playing an inspired defense (like RU in '06). They are riding a magical season, and from the looks of things, the Big East title - and a BCS bowl game - could be had by any number of teams right now.
