Brown had 6,800 for the Princeton game in the only other Ivy home game. <br /><br />Columbia crushed them all with attendance of 12,098. Twelve thousand! That's more than double the Georgetown home opener attendance and nearly four times the pitiful Wagner night game crowd.<br /><br />I continue to be impressed by Columbia homecoming each year. One of the best in the league. Just need to get the W's to really see it blow up.InwoodTigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14878876847755318161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-86171850646972092062015-10-18T15:27:04.106-07:002015-10-18T15:27:04.106-07:00I wouldn't put any of this on the punter.

The third snap was way off to his right, and resulted in Penn deep in our territory and scoring. The center needs to improve.<br /><br />As far as the rest of the game, it was a bizarro version of Wagner.

I suggested Roar-ee, whose sum-up of yesterday's debacle would surely be as valuable as anyone else's. <br /><br />As it happens, by the way (my daughter first noted this to me), the Detroit Lions also have their own "Roary." He came after ours. But has had better football luck through the years. As has the Carolina Panthers' own "Sir Purr," who in fact also comes with a spouse and cubs. When the game is as bad as yesterday's was, one's thoughts often turn to mascots, I fear.<br /><br />I took notice also of the "summer soldiers and sunshine patriots" (thank you, Citizen Tom Paine) who left during halftime. Our time is still coming, folks. As the Mets proved again last night, retaining belief is fine.I remain, very truly yours, Richard Szathmaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958453732960356469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-24780003602531114422015-10-18T04:08:02.541-07:002015-10-18T04:08:02.541-07:00PS, I also think it was Perkovic who was nailed fo...PS, I also think it was Perkovic who was nailed for a 15 yard penalty for unnecessary roughness which was a killer at the time.oldlionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242868168620796807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-20313259066941002302015-10-18T04:06:51.325-07:002015-10-18T04:06:51.325-07:00Now that I have had an entire night to reflect on ...Now that I have had an entire night to reflect on the loss I would attribute it to a complete absence of pressure on the Penn QB (who was missing a lot of throws to wide open receivers, or else it could have been worse, terrible DB play, and a complete inability of the OL either to protect the QB or to provide a running game. Combine that with incompetent play from our long snapper, a couple of really bad penalties plus one disastrous call, and a few turnovers and the result is predictable. So where does Al go from here to get these guys to rebound? oldlionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242868168620796807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-4354278897864335732015-10-17T17:43:24.821-07:002015-10-17T17:43:24.821-07:00BTW, Sophomore D-lineman Dominic Perkovic was the ...BTW, Sophomore D-lineman Dominic Perkovic was the John Toner Homecoming Player of the game with a forced fumble and 5 tackles on the day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229544430182194679noreply@blogger.com
