If Colgate only played 3-4 home games, there would be no Colgate football team. What gets fans in the seats is winning teams - and that is all. There is too much competition for fans to expect Colgate to obtain a football following without home games. Morrisville has a team, Utica College has one and so does Albany, Hamilton and on and on. And, most of those have hockey teams. Fans will go elsewhere. Having the game on TV and on the Internet doesn't help getting folks out to the game especially in cold weather. And I repeat, who is the IDIOT that scheduled the Cornell hockey game at Starr on the same day as the Lehigh FB game? All you old alum are out of touch. The 80's have past and its a new landscape. One of the best moves Colgate could make outside of conference is to establish a rivalry with Albany and Stony Brook.

You r older than me and yet don't know your Colgate football history. Fortunately we carry more weight with the AD and will get changes far down the road.

I, too, am looking forward to the Morrisville/Alfred State and Utica/Misericorda football rematches next year! Be there or be square!
