Rutgers Scarlet Knights

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are the athletic teams that represent Rutgers University's New Brunswick campus. In sports, Rutgers is chiefly known for being the "Birthplace of College Football," hosting the first ever intercollegiate football game on 6 November 1869 in which Rutgers defeated a team from the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) with a score of 6 runs to 4.

Among the first American schools to participate in intercollegiate athletics, Rutgers currently fields 27 teams in the Big Ten Conference which participates in Division I competition, as sanctioned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association in the following sports: baseball, basketball, crew, cross country, field hockey, football, golf, gymnastics, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis, track and field, swimming and diving, wrestling, and volleyball. The athletic programs compete under the name Scarlet Knights, after the Rutgers University mascot which was chosen in 1955 by the student body.

Scarlet Knights (comics)

The Scarlet Knights were a fictional British mutant family and Royal Air Force superteam in the Marvel Comics Universe.

Fiction team history

When the mutant X-gene catalyzed in Colin Hardy, his newly gained powers of flight somehow passed on to the other members of his family.

As part of the Royal Air Force, the squadron became part of its search and rescue personnel, with the mum and youngsters handling peacetime jobs, and Dad and the older siblings handling combat operations.

The Knights became famous for their annual Farnborough Airshow appearance, taking passengers and performing Red Arrow style air manoeuvre displays.

During the events of M-Day, in a bright flash of light, the family lost their powers mid-flight with a full complement of passengers. "They never had a prayer", it was said. Squadron Leader Colin was, seemingly, the only survivor. Colin's new-found hatred of Humankind over the death and depowerment of mutants all over the world, for which he assumed humans were responsible, led him to join with fellow depowered mutants and strike back by bombing the Main Line Railway Terminus in what was declared to be a "taste of what is to come."

Famous quotes by Scarlet Knights:

"The fans who have been die-hard Rutgers fans for so long, were coming up and hugging me, saying 'Thank you so much,' ... I really didn't realize until that moment out there, that wow, people have just been dying for this moment."
"Stay on her, ... You go where she goes."
"I'm not going to lie, ... It scared me."
"I look forward to seeing that many more times to come,"
"We try to put three scholarships towards special teams -- one kicker, one punter and one combo guy, ... That should show how important we think it is."
