It was January 9th, 2016, Rutgers vs Nebraska at the RAC where the 1975-1976 Final Four team would be honored. I was able to get two tickets as a birthday present for my father. Rutgers was at the tail end of the Eddie Jordan era but despite their struggles, I was confident they’d fight hard in front of the home crowd honoring the greatest Rutgers men’s basketball team in history. Instead, it was another embarrassing loss to a program that was clearly headed towards the lowest depths of the Big Ten. Driving home that night I can honestly say it was the only time I had to really question — why am I doing this to myself?
