Rutgers had Grimace dance to OMG in the end zone because it's all about the Mets, baby!
Let there be no question which baseball team the Rutgers Scarlet Knights are supporting this October: It’s about the Mets, baby! Love the Mets.
Or maybe it’s mostly about the vibes. You see, much like the Mets this season, Rutgers entered the year with middling expectations and has all the non-believers changing their tune in October.
The Mets are in the National League Championship Series for the first time 2015. Rutgers is 4-1 for the first time since 2014. Things are really happening for New York/New Jersey fans at the moment and it was only fair to mash them all together.
Which is how you end up with Rutgers inviting Grimace to dance in the end zone to Jose Iglesias’ single “OMG” during a Week 7 game against Wisconsin.

Years from now, this video might make absolutely zero sense. In the present day, it couldn’t capture the moment any better if it tried.
