PISCATAWAY – At 6-foot-6, 314 pounds and in the best shape of his life, it takes a lot to intimidate Tariq Cole.
Allison Kreimeier needed just 10 words and a “silly look” to do the trick after the Rutgers football left tackle sat down next to her with a muffin from the new 24-hour snack stand in the Hale Center.
“She looked at it and said, ‘Oh wow, that’s a lot of sugar on a muffin,’” Cole said, laughing at the memory of feeling dejected. “I was like, Oh? OK.’ I put it back and got an apple.
