Credit to Dick Biddle for establishing a tremendous brand of program with much success and pride. His final season wasn't his best and perhaps he knew it was time to leave and for someone with a similar (yet different) mindset to resurrect a scholarship program. Class act. He continues to tweet and is obviously an avid Raider for life and will always bleed Colgate maroon.
According the the Post Standard, Lafayette landed a great catch that chose them over Syracuse! Saw that Bucknell has a 3-star QB, I think. Is there a link that lists all PL recruits/offers/commits and is as thorough as ours on the Colgate Football Memorabilia page?
Very optimistic for next season with a great core returning. This year also showed the immediate impact of freshmen, like Ives and a few others. Still think most WRs are underutilized in the passing game. Some of the highlight-reel catches in the JMU game are proof of that. Our quadruple-threat running game of Wilkins-Holland-Russell-Melville is something that is money well spent!!! SHSUs double-QB threat is also something you don't hear of very often. It could have helped us last season!

You are correct about better than a core returning, but your numbers are definitely incorrect. There are four starters on offense leaving, Quazza, Weber and Russell and Sawin. There are three starters on defense leaving, McCullom, Buttermore and Ford along with Nikko Armiento. I personally believe that all of those are similarly replaceable with guys on the roster except Quazza and Weber, but we add Bridgeforth and Steffen back to the defense and should be excellent again next year. We will go as far as Jake and the hopefully better less predictable play calling takes us. Go 'gate!

yes! my bad! on the O on the D McCullon & Ford really weren't starters as much as pressed into service after injuries to starters that return next year. Point well taken and Great returning lineup!

The goal is really to have posters dictate that. Hoping for all new topics to be posted over there and for this to eventually die out on it's own. I'd guess that the absolute last day will be towards the end of Q1 2016.
