Newark Star Ledger - A nice tribute after Rutgers Game

Booing Military Schools unacceptable
by Tom Luicci [ Newark Star Ledger ]

It's hard to be too critical of Rutgers fans with the way they have turned
out in record numbers lately, but there is one reason to be:

Whoever among them booed lustily when the Navy players came onto the field
on Friday night should be sentenced to a week in Iraq.

The noise was clearly audible, and that's a shame. Booing college opponents
is acceptable with three exceptions: Army, Navy and Air Force.

Whatever your feelings are on the war, those are the men who will put their lives on theline for us after they finish college. If anything, they deserve a standing
ovation whenever they take the field.
Wanting to beat them is one thing;
booing them is a disgrace.
