	It's a royal bash as Rogers trips Princeton in home football opener (9-16) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Royals, 1-15 in the program's first two years, improved to 2-1 overall this year and picked up their first-ever victory in the new Mississippi Eight Conference, where they're now 1-1.
		Princeton drove to the Royals 10 late in the half but Roehl was sacked by Trent Grupa and Luke Lee and fumbled the ball away in the process, foiling the Tigers' threat.
		The Royals got a huge break when a shanked punt by Musgjerd from near his own goal line would have given the Tigers the ball at the Rogers 25 in the third quarter.

	1903: When the World Series was born: 6/3/03
		"The Royal Rooters were almost as important as the players, (and) they were almost as well known as the players," insists baseball historian Glenn Stout.
		Secondly, the Royal Rooters turned into a flamboyant presence in the game, engaging in "war dances, cheers, yells and songs resounding clear across the Allegheny River." The cheers of the locals in the crowd of 7,600 were nearly drowned out.
		The Rooters, now a topic of constant media attention, managed to crawl under the skin of the Bucs in Game Five, claimed by the Pilgrims in an 11-2 blowout.

	Tessie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While a popular tune, the song gained greater notoriety when it was adopted as a rallying cry by the Royal Rooters, a collection of loyal Southie fans led by Michael T. "Nuf Ced" McGreevy, owner of the 3rd Base saloon.
		(It was a best of 9 series; 5 wins were needed to win the series.) The Royal Rooters began rallying their team with every song they could think of; ultimately "Tessie" helped win the day.
		The Murphys said it was their intent to "bring back the spirit of the Rooters and to put the Red Sox back on top." Oddly enough, the goal of the Murphys was realized when later that year the Boston Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years.

	Royal Rooters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		But the soul of the Royal Rooters was a dapper tavern owner with a magnificent walrus mustache named Mike McGreevey (the tavern owner was named McGreevey, not his mustache).
		The Rooters had actually been born in 1897, when the Boston Beaneaters (later the Braves) won the National League pennant and met the second-place Baltimore Orioles in the playoff.
		The Royal Rooters happily transferred their allegiance to the Braves and entrained for Philadelphia with blue flags waving instead of red.

		The next day, the Rooters began singing in the hotel, continued as they marched to the ballpark, and kept it up through the whole game.
		The Pirates claimed the weather was too poor to play, postponing the game a day in the hopes that the Rooters would have departed by then, and giving their ace pitcher Phillippe an extra day of rest.
		McGreevey led the Royal Rooters in a parade around the field, and then back to the Third Base Saloon to celebrate.

	Fame and fandom - The Boston Globe
		McGreevey—recalled today as ''Nuf Ced," a nickname deriving from his customary declaration of certitude—led Boston's fanatical ''Royal Rooters" through some 20 years of organized partisanship for Boston's baseball teams, beginning in 1897 as a contingent from Roxbury dedicated to the Nationals.
		When the American League came to town in 1901, the Royal Rooters transferred their affections and hortatory chants to the Red Sox.
		The Rooters were also a force in the Red Sox World Series wins of 1912, '15, and '16, though by the championship season of 1918 they were gone.

		The Curse of the Bambino begins with the sixth game of the ’86 World Series, when a fan watching the game on TV is visited by the ghosts of the Royal Rooters, the name by which Sox fanatics went back in the 1910s.
		From there, the scene jumps back to those same Royal Rooters in 1919, just hours before they learn of the sale of Ruth.
		The show slowly makes its way back to 1986, with the Royal Rooter ghosts, in the role of a Greek chorus, guiding us through the infamous “curses” in Sox history — Johnny Pesky holding the ball in ’46, Luis Aparicio slipping on the basepaths in ’72, and on and on.

		Voelcker, chemist of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, tells me that he has often been consulted on the point, and on analysing the soil found that there was plenty of plant food in the land if the roots could only have freely travelled through the soil.
		I have the following reason for believing that the hard pan which sometimes exists just below the ploughing depth is often the cause of failure, partly because the roots of grasses and clovers cannot penetrate it, and partly because it checks the rise of water from the subsoil.
		Voelcker (chemist of the Royal Agricultural Society of England) remarked when visiting the farm in 1904 that I should have kept in each field an untouched patch to show what the land originally was, for that it was now difficult to believe how bad it had been.

		In one particularly tough game in which the Sox were down and all but out, the Royal Rooters showed up late to the game and were told it was sold out," said Barr.
		The band’s barrelhouse group vocals conjure up a whiff of what would likely make any of the old Royal Rooters stand up with pride.

		They drank at the Third Base saloon of Michael ''Nuf Ced'' McGreevey - so named because when he slammed his fist on the bar and announced, '''Nough said,'' that ended any argument - and they would gamble on anything from the outcome of games to the length of a player's shoelaces.
		As if Ban Johnson had scripted the race, Boston and star pitcher/manager Clark Griffith's Chicago club were neck and neck for the summer, with the local entry providing just enough of a tease to whet the Royal Rooters' thirst.

		Now imagine the Royal Rooters, the Boston Americans' devout fan club, singing "Tessie" at the top of their lungs to celebrate the team's 3-0 win over Pittsburgh in the eighth game (that's not a typo, sports fans) of the inaugural World Series.
		A part of baseball legend was born on that day, and as a result, the song earned itself a cherished place in the team's history.
		However, in 1916, following their fourth win, the team abandoned the former Broadway hit as the Royal Rooters faded into the sunset.

		Before the game, Red Sox management release the Royal Rooters' block of tickets to the general public, and when the Rooters march on to the field shortly before game time, they find "their" seats taken.
