Fans Guide to Getting to the Game
The Game Last Year: Columbia 23 Georgetown 15
Leading Story Lines
1) Columbia is trying to make a case for itself as a legitimate Ivy contender. Beating an improved Georgetown team at home by at least two scores will probably be required to keep that narrative going.
2) This is an important game for junior Lion QB Josh Bean, who didn't look sharp in the season opener against St. Francis. But the Columbia offensive line needs to do a much better job in pass protection as well.
3) The Lion defense got consistent penetration against St. Francis last week, but often missed the first chance to tackle Red Flash ball carriers. Look for adjustments in that facet of the game. But the key will be how well Columbia covers potential "home run ball" deep passes to Georgetown senior WR Michael Dereus. The Lions got lucky last year when he exited the game just before halftime with an injury.

Will we be seeing Woodley and/or Rose?
Seems we're bigger favorites than Georgetown's record would imply....crossing fingers
Georgetown has a huge OL!
So did St. Francis
Oddly quiet as the team ran onto the field - no band starting up Roar Lion Road, just the background Jay-Z music from the speakers.
I got bookies offering Hoya's -3.
Not sure the lines posted are accurate.
I'm sorry. I can't wait til Sunday to post.
WE HAVE PROBLEMS, BIG PROBLEMS:
Paradoxically, Columbia both gave this game away and got beaten badly by Georgetown.
WHY did Bagnoli keep keeping Bean in as QB? Bean's passing was awful today. Not strong enough? How about atrocious? I have been saying all along, Bean is not Columbia's man at QB. If Ty had stayed in the game, I think Columbia would have won.
What has happened to our offensive line? It couldn't protect the QB. It couldn't open up any holes in the middle.
What has happened to our defensive line? DeLorenzo (sp?) got to GT's QB once. That was it, I think.
Like all of you, I have watched every game since Bagnoli arrived. Today's game was so excruciatingly painful to watch, unfortunately for so many reasons, that I had to turn off my computer when Bean through his final interception of the day as Columbia was, once again, looking as if they were going to score a touchdown and tie the game.
I can't imagine how utterly dispirited all the players, all the coaches, all the fans across the country must be right now.
I am finally at a loss for words as to how we go forward.
Well, that didn't go well. No offense...
That’s pathetic.
