538 Blog Weighs In

There's nothing like a pathetic Columbia football losing streak to get the kind of negative attention our beloved Alma Mater doesn't need.

Now the data wonks at 538 Blog have decided to weigh in on tomorrow's game against Cornell.

Here's the money quote:

"So, if you live in the New York metro area, are a big fan of punting and want to see two teams that cannot score or stop anyone else from scoring, you’re in luck. It’s sure to be a riveting affair in a city that just doesn’t care."

I think the article should also state if you're a big fan of horrible QB play especially after what Jay Cutler did against the Packers on Sunday night. That's what Columbia's been getting with Trevor McDonagh under center all season long.

Triple wow. Nate Silver is a god, and it's an ESPN-owned property now, so this is quite a step up from rants on local sports radio.

That said, it will not go unnoticed and may bring some welcome pressure on the admin.
