Louisville vs. Rutgers
Nation's Projected winner: Louisville
Nation's Preffered winner: Louisville
Both teams undefeated.
Rutgers ranked 15, Louisville ranked 3
Empire State Building Red for Rutgers
Classes cancelled, exams postponed, 40,00 tickets sold (still selling on ebay for around $400, 10500 student tickets gone in 4 hours(people camped out))

It's second quarter rutgers is down 7-25. Half-time. Then:
Louisville has the ball, but, first down, first down, second down, third down, punt. Rutgers has the ball now. Touchdown. And then another!
Fourth Quarter
The score is now 22-25. With ten minutes left Rutgers goes for the field goal. And YES, the score is tied, 25-25. But now Louisville has the ball with an offensive that's ranked 2nd in the nation and a team that's number 3. Surely, they'll push through New Jersey defense. But no, fourth down and the ball is ours. 5 minutes left. Rutgers has to make it across the field. And they do, until the 28 yard line. It's forth down, 30 seconds left, Rutgers aims for the field goal. They miss!!! but, wait for it, Louisville moved or something, because there's a penalty. 10 seconds. Rutgers aims again, and SCORE!!!

The 40000 people (a record) at the stadium run to the field. The playing ground is filled with people screaming. My entire suite (even me) run towards the stadium shouting the score to everyone we see. There are fireworks going off, the ESPN helicoptor overhead. Traffic comes to a halt. The biggest game in Rutgers history and we win!!! No one's in class today, the lines for Rutgers stuff are out the door, and guess what, no one's going home this weekend.

(I'll be back to normal eventually)
