The Worst News

Tragedy has struck the Columbia Football team.

Rising senior McLeod Buckham-White has passed away.

This is a very tough time for his family, friends, and teammates.

Despite the fact that Buckham-White was no longer on the roster, today's spring practice session was rightfully canceled and counselors were made available to speak with the entire student body. 

May his memory ultimately be a blessing. 

Some of the Schedule Mystery Solved

 Looks like my refusal to believe that Columbia would only have four real home games in 2023 was justified. 

Our previously scheduled Week 4 matchup at Wagner has now been wiped from Wagner's schedule (and Wagner is not happy about that, btw) leaving that week open for a likely home game that would bring the Lion home date total to five.

I'm not sure who that opponent will be, but it could be Marist since the Red Foxes have also not yet released their 2023 schedule. 

I do know it will not be another local school, LIU. The Sharks schedule is already out and does not include CU. 

Teevens Injured "Seriously"

Dartmouth Head Coach Buddy Teevens. one of our classiest rivals in the Ivies, has suffered reportedly "serious" injuries after being hit by a car while cycling in Florida.

I know all of Columbia's fans, players, and coaches are wishing Buddy a total and speedy recovery.
