This was supposed to be a battle of two excellent running teams but they passed for a combined 550 yds vs 200 rushing. Sophomore Chase Goodwin is the real deal. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Columbia Leads Penn 17-7 at Haltime in Philly Author: Old Lion (Franklin Field) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:08:56 10/19/24 Sat This was my first trip to Franklin Field ever, and I have been a Lion for over 60 years. It was well worth it. I thought that we played well against a good team, and that Chase Goodwin is the real deal. Take away the 3 drops and he would have been off the charts in completion percentage. In all fairness, as much as I love this staff, I counted at least three potentially costly coaching calls which could have cost us: not taking the easy FG and going for it on 4th and short within the 5, and coming up short; and of course the failed onsides kick when we were up 14 and getting greedy. One final note: despite his one drop, Canty really can’t be guarded one on one. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Material Non-Public Information Author: An Observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:38:49 10/20/24 Sun This is the kind of inside information that I will apply to my Fan Duel account. Old Lion, please keep us apprised of your future spectating plans. And, not least, congratulations on the Lions' fine start. Given the history, you Columbia fans have been about as loyal as any fan base I can think of. Enjoy the ride, baby. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Columbia Leads Penn 17-7 at Haltime in Philly Author: The Mountain Lion [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:59:16 10/19/24 Sat The bottom line is that Columbia is a very good football team that is fun to watch. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Columbia Leads Penn 17-7 at Haltime in Philly Author: Boston Lion [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 01:46:00 10/20/24 Sun Columbia won with a whole-team effort. Commendable games by the coaching staff and all of the players, including, among many others, Goodwin, Roussos, Canty, Brebnor, Stagg, Dougherty, Libman, McDonald, Giorgi, Merry, and Terry. Nicely done. Onward. Go Lions! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Columbia Leads Penn 17-7 at Haltime in Philly Author: The Mountain Lion [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:16:23 10/20/24 Sun Looking far ahead, I can see the Cincinnati Bengals drafting Columbia's wide receiver, Bryson Canty, to get him on the field with Princeton's Andrei Iosivas. Just my speculation without any personal knowledge. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Columbia Leads Penn 17-7 at Haltime in Philly Author: Old Lion (Attendance) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:16:11 10/20/24 Sun Very disappointing; should have been more than the puny few thousand to see two good teams play an exciting and well played game. What is it with this generation of IL students? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Columbia Leads Penn 17-7 at Haltime in Philly Author: Tiger69 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 04:24:47 10/21/24 Mon As an aging Tiger who remembers days of 40,000+ crowds in Palmer Stadium (RIP), I too mourn their passing. But, times have changed — for the better IMHO. Ivy student bodies and younger alumni/ae are vastly more diverse, more international and facing critical issues younger in life. With only 24 hours in a day, they face many more issues competing for their time. We older alums lived in relatively simpler times. Frankly, I, for one, don’t believe I could manage what they face.

You also have to account for alumni and the general public, who in decades gone by would have looked forward to a college game on a Saturday afternoon. Now there is so much more that competes for their attention too. Still, I think this Homecoming game could be a doozy. Plenty of interest, at least among students and alumni. Weather looks excellent, the lead in the Ivy standings on the line. Go Lions! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Columbia Leads Penn 17-7 at Haltime in Philly Author: Quaker62 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:27:53 10/21/24 Mon It was disheartening to see only about 3,000 in attendance on Saturday. I don’t think there were more than 500 in the student section. If you believe that college football is supposed to be played by actual college students then the actual student-athlete might be a contributing factor to poor student interest at least at Penn. It was learned from a Penn insider that many of the players spend a great deal of time inside “the facility” (which is bright, shiny, new and very impressive) from early morning practices, meetings, therapy etc until they attend class beginning after lunch. By attend, I mean many attend classes remotely and don’t really interact with the general population. So if I can extrapolate, if I’m a regular student and an athlete doesn’t seem to want to get to know me or be a part of the actual student body, why would I want to show an interest in what the athlete does? Or am I making a big stretch to come up with an answer to a question that might not be asked? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Columbia Leads Penn 17-7 at Haltime in Philly Author: observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:57:48 10/21/24 Mon Student-athletes not living among the general student population doesn't seem to be an issue regarding attendance in the B1G Ten. It's not just student attendance. The biggest issue is the Ivory Tower. The local communities don't care or identify with the institutions. Duke suffers similarly in football in the ACC, and Stanford did for years in the Pac-whatever. The eight schools have deemphasized sports as a public relations tool to a fault. There are talented players at the Ivy level, but the fear of the faculty and administration in promoting such skilled men to the general public is so great that they effectively cut off their eight noses to spite their faces. The Ivy powers that be collectively WANT to go to D3, they just can't say so out loud with so many rich alums willing to spend to prop up the operations. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
