Rutgers has 2 Friday night games, but you are missing the Thursday night game we started the season with.

The 6pm Thursday night game 🙄.

Yeah, this is great for TV executives but sucks for fans.

And it's now 11:10 pm ET and Game 1 of the World Series is going long and heading to the 10th inning.

I was there. It was ugly. USC fans a mixed bag of nice & drunk jerks.

Funniest moment: USC scores a TD...their horse & Trojan gallop up the sideline.... stadium goes nuts. Like thundering cheering & yelling nuts. I lean to the USC fan in front of me & ask " are you guys really that excited about the horse coming onto the field?"
Ends up the Dodgers had just scored their walk off Grand slam of game one of the WS. All the USC fans were watching on their phones. 🤣

That's awesome.

The announced attendance (tickets distributed) was 63,404; the stadium, however, looked really empty.

Game 1 WS
USC game
2 very high HS games

Can you imagine the Hawks playing on a Thursday?
