Tiny Knights get dressed up for blackout game
They are our future
Rutgers may not be the top football team in the Big Ten, but that doesn’t stop everyone from going to the games.
While attending a Rutgers home game, rowdy students aren’t the only ones filling the seats. Alumni of all ages come dressed head-to-toe in Rutgers gear, prepared to tailgate with the best of them.
But it seems some of the littler fans are catching the Scarlet Fever as well.
