I missed the good times, and 15 years later I still grapple with it.
After graduating from Rutgers in 2006, I moved to Boston for some time for grad school without the money or ability to travel season tickets would require. As such, I was consigned to asking local bartenders to put on the Rutgers football game on their satellite TV feeds as a favor. Thankfully, Rutgers was pretty good from 2006-2009 so this usually led to a friendly conversation about Rutgers football. Season tickets were always on my mind, and when I graduated and moved back to New Jersey in 2009, the first thing I did was sign up for season tickets alongside my best friend.
