Good Start?

Bruce Wood's Big Green Alert blog has the info on each Ivy team's out of conference football schedule for 2017.

Columbia's schedule, compared to what I was expecting, looks easier.

Sept. 16th: Wagner
Sept. 23rd: Georgetown
October 7th: at Marist


I was expecting the season to start on the road against a tough Saint Francis team, but that series seems to be on hold for now. Wagner is not a bad football program, but Columbia has really had the Seahawks' number two years in a row now.

Of course having written that, now I expect all these opponents to get some major upgrade over the off season and become world beaters. But on January 25th, this looks like a OOC schedule that can lead to multiple wins.

The other good thing is that Marist of Poughkeepsie, NY is a mere 1.5-2 hrs from the Columbia campus and closer still from the northern 'burbs!

Coach Fab has an intriguing tweet about "phenomenal news coming out of the Tar Heel State."
