I will cut my penis off if Rutgers is ever ranked #1 in football

I said when Greg Schiano was announced as the head coach of Rutgers, that if... Rutgers is ever ranked number one in football, I will cut my penis off. I feel good about that bet, actually.

Rutgers has never been ranked #1 and is unlikely to do so in the near future.

Secretariat's records are fraudulent and he likely used steroids
