How would Twitter have handled Rutgers-Princeton in 1969? Ask Politi!

The day is Nov. 6., 1869. The scene is an empty field where, someday, a gymnasium for the college that calls this place home will be built. The event is the historic first collegiate football game between Rutgers and Princeton -- and, to no one's surprise, people losing their minds on Twitter as usual.

Yeah, I know. Twitter was barely a thing in 2009, much less 140 years earlier. But loyal reader Jim Cos @jcos6702 asked what is, to this point, the most brilliant question that I've fielded here at Ask Politi!

Lol, indeed.

So that got me thinking.
