Palmer Nix
There was a time when all three of Columbia's out of conference games were against Patriot League opponents. Lehigh, Lafayette, and Bucknell were staples of the CU schedule for a long time.
But would any of you care to guess how long it's been since the Lions played any of those above teams?
If you guessed it was Lehigh at Wien Stadium in 2013, you're right.
In recent years, the only Patriot League staple on the Columbia schedule has been Georgetown. That's the case again this year as the Lions and Hoyas will face off in New York in week 2.
Speaking of that, the Patriot League announced the results of its preseason media poll today and named it's preseason all-league team.
Georgetown not only came in sixth out of seven teams in the poll, it only had one member of the all-league team in kick returner Palmer Nix.
Of course, predicting things this season after the COVID shutdown seems foolish. So all we can say is that it at least LOOKS like Columbia is not playing a powerhouse Georgetown team this year.
