A Message from Marcellus





Those shoulder pads deserve their own zip code


Dear Fellow Lions,

WE ARE 5-0!!! The last time we accomplished such a feat, I was a 21-year old, a lean 250 pounds, team captain in '96, feeling an all-time high of pride in Columbia and my teammates. This week, that feeling is back. This 2017 team has made national headlines, and I couldn't be prouder of everyone who has contributed. 


I'm feeling the wave of energy all the way on the west coast, and I don't want it to go away! Let's help push this team to 6-0 like we were in '96. We can all do our part this week to keep building on what we've started. That's right, I'm talking about Columbia Giving Day. 

Coach Bagnoli has brought exciting leadership to Columbia, and any conversation you have with him would make you want to get back on the field. Since we can't, let's do what we can. Let's give the players, coaches, and everyone else involved the standing ovation they deserve for their 5-0 start, by making a gift today for Giving Day

CU Football is where it should be this week: on top of the Ivy League!
BEAT DARTMOUTH!

Roar, Lion, Roar!
Marcellus Wiley '97CC
