If we worry about what other schools are doing, we will not get anywhere. Rutgers started college football, so we are following in their footsteps whether we like it or not.
Rutgers uses a revolutionary war cannon, fired by guys dressed up in revolutionary costumes if I'm not mistaken. I'm talking about a military type cannon fired by members or our military and even military alumni. It would be a great way to get military members involved with each game.
