Too much talent on this team now, players and coaches, to be denied. Remember the names Krcilik and Munsil, freshmen receivers who will make a mark.alawiciushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115508992566523085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-3584102702968328012015-08-23T19:55:57.832-07:002015-08-23T19:55:57.832-07:00What would be holding the team back from a winning...What would be holding the team back from a winning record or .500? I've been watching college football on a widespread scale for over 3 decades and have indulged in plenty of history as well. There are countless fast (and amazing) turnarounds. Granted, Columbia's hole has grown immense with age but the gap is really not that huge. Brown, Gtown, Cornell should be winnnable games. Wagner is very tough but not insurmountable. Fordham, ya know, anything can happen. That will be a test but we have beaten them before. Yale's defense stinks and they won't fix it this season. WIN. Harvard is all about depth, that could be a problem but I see us giving them a strong game. Penn, Dartmouth have lots of team speed. I will concede the Big Green game but not the Tigers who we routinely enjoy beating in a spoiler role.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-76029705071007173932015-08-23T14:42:11.206-07:002015-08-23T14:42:11.206-07:00I am with Big Dawg.

That is all it really takes is coaching, talent and execution. Playing like a team, that comes over time but as we know, in a short season it all happens fast. Some catching up to do but not insurmountable.<br /><br />Real team, real program, real coaching, real progress. 5-5 or better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-3721187703984670892015-08-22T04:29:13.456-07:002015-08-22T04:29:13.456-07:00Let the games begin!

However, there are 2 parts of the program that we can measure right now and especially after the signing season next spring- financial aid and admissions. Specifically, are we offering the best financial aid package in the league, or just matching other programs, which put us at a disadvantage. Also, is Columbia admissions working with Bags and giving him all the players that fit within each band. <br />Of course, the general public will never know the answers to these questions, but word will get around soon enough.Coachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17423782333154886991noreply@blogger.com
