Rutgers is a melting pot for all forces football. Rutgers intermixes south Jersey, Philly, central Jersey, New York, and north Jersey together. The only reason why we are called "New York's Team" is because we are literally the closest major college football team to New York. We could also be called Philadelphia's team because we are the closest BCS division football team to Philly as well, but since there are so many Penn State campuses in the Philadelphia area, many of the fans find allegiance in Penn State, which is about an hour or more further from the city than Rutgers is.
Many of our fans may be newer to the college football game, but the 20,000 original fans that were there through it all will bleed Rutgers til the end. We have the dedication of Philly towards giving other teams the business, but the attitude of New York that we love a winner and will celebrate and attend as such. We expect effort and applaud effort and excellent coaching. Likewise, we will question the opposite if we see something that we don't like. And we welcome newcomers with open arms because we want the Scarlet Knight "family" to be as big as it can be.
