If Rutgers football isn’t back, it’s about as close as it can get without crossing the threshold.
On Thursday the Scarlet Knights capped off their first winning season since 2014 with a 31-24 victory over Miami (FL) in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl. And seeing as how the game was at Yankee Stadium, which meant Rutgers was basically playing in home territory, it only felt right that ESPN’s play-by-play man Drew Carter ended the broadcast with a Bronx victory tradition.
Carter channeled his inner John Sterling and sent Rutgers into the offseason by paying homage to the longtime Yankees broadcaster’s famous call.
Drew Carter called the Pinstripe Bowl today for ESPN, and fittingly, Carter imitated John Sterling to sign off from The Bronx.
