RUTGERS WINS ITS THIRD STRAIGHT BOWL
GAME
I was in Birmingham, Alabama from December 27th -- 30th for the Rutgers game against North Carolina State in
the PapaJohns.com Bowl.  Rutgers would climb back from 11 points down at halftime to win 29-23.
This was Rutgers fourth bowl game in four years,
yet its first one during that stretch played outdoors.  
And we got plenty of sunshine.
The tailgating outside was....OK.  But this picture
was taken several hours (3) before the game started.
With Rutgers play-by-play announcer Chris Carlin (on
the left) and color analyst Tim Pernetti (in the middle)
from the broadcast booth -- though you can't really tell
because my flash worked too well.
Just to be clear.  The Rutgers fans are to the left
of the 50-yard line...not to the right.
