[> [> Subject: Re: Columbia Win Over Georgetown Author: Old Lion (Jake’s blog) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:01:38 09/30/25 Tue Jake finally took a long overdue step to address the inane anonymous comments on his blog by moving it to Substack and requiring users to sign in. The straw that seemed to have broken the came’s back was either the derogatory ad hominem attacks on users, players and coaches, or the bogus “movement” to bring back Mark Fabish.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: A Shame... Author: Old Lion (Bagnoli) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:39:41 10/01/25 Wed Bagnoli had serious surgery during the winter before the 2024 season. He fully intended to coach for the 2024 season. Whether he intended to make 2024 his last season or not is open to speculation, but after his surgery while recuperating he came to realize that he was physically unable to put himself through another season. The speculation that this was a carefully staged Machiavellian plot to hand the job to Mark is baseless. And let’s remember that Mark was named interim head coach, with a heavy emphasis on the word interim.

[> [> [> Subject: thoughts on Jakes blog spot Author: Lion Rooter [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:44:30 09/30/25 Tue Wow - just got done with Jakes blog reading all the pro Fabish (the previous Columbia ingterim coach) comments - what a pile of BS! They are trolls - nothing more - probably from another school or just idiots. I think Jake does a great job - and honestly I would just take down any post that advocates nonsense about the previous coach. That said, I also wondered why Bagnoli quit the team just before the season started - to ensure his guy Fabish was made the interim head coach? No doubt Columbia admins felt they were gamed - I had respect for Bags up until he did that, even if it was for health reasons - but you have to think he had an inkling he could not reasonably coach. I did not think kindly of Bags while he was at Penn - let's not forget that his coaches openly harrassed and denigrated our players - I expect hazing from players possibly - but coaches? I'm sure back in the day Ivy coaches happily filled in a W before they played us - no doubt there is some kind of animosity towards us, and desire for the old days of Columbia futility. If Fabish had put up a better season -- he might have been kept on - but he did not! Results matter in football and everywhere else for that matter. It could be that the success Poppe had last year was a fluke - but Fabish had the same players from Bags' crew and he could not get it done.
