Haley's On It
Craig Haley
Craig Haley is out with his well informed predictions for the upcoming Ivy League season.
(There was one mistake in his Columbia profile, when he listed WR Scooter Hollis as no longer with the team. That is not correct)
But otherwise, Haley makes a good case for all his picks.
A little backstory is necessary here:
Two years ago, I openly blasted Haley for picking Princeton to finish in the top half of the league. He turned out to be 100% right. I still take issue with his reasons in 2012 for that pick, (he basically said they'd win simply because it was their "turn"), but I'll never stop apologizing for accusing him of being too worried about what his former close contacts at Princeton would say if he picked on them in his predictions.
This year, Haley actually makes a good case for picking Princeton for first. Columbia is his choice for last, but he did put DT Niko Padilla on his preseason All Ivy team.
Haley makes the same conclusion that I have when it comes to CU's schedule; it's murderous. And he too is hard pressed to find a game the Lions are likely to win.

That guy looks like Troy Aikman and Rick Neuheisel's love child.
You're confused about the mechanics, Al. Maybe Aikman and Meryl Streep.
