WOW again!

This is exactly the middle of the month of September, not January, and we already have 13 extremely strong commits.

Bagnoli and Company have to be thrilled right now, and have every right to be.

Every Columbia football coach, fan, player, commit, and future commit has to be terribly excited right now.

The inexorable progression since Bagnoli arrived at Columbia is incredible: from atrocious, to awful, to hopeful, to good, to competitive, and now to being a real threat to vie for the Ivy championship!

I am one excited guy, among thousands of others, in the middle of September, 9/15/19!
