Hello. Did anyone attend the Saturday inter-squad scrimmage? If so, anything to report? The first game is in twelve days and there is more information available about secret CIA operations than about our football team. Do we have a quarterback? Do we have a team? Feeling very frustrated!!!
The first game is in ten tens and nobody knows what is going on.
The Athletic Department remains in stealth mode.
We have an extraordinary women's basketball team but their 2024-2025 schedule is not yet posted. Dartmouth is the only other Ivy that has not posted its schedule.
For those followers of a great program and amazing coach here is most of the schedule:
How about just a PR person who actually does something? There has not been any meaningful information about the football team other that a couple of perfunctory posts by the Athletic Department. I wouldn't want to burden or distract Coach Poppe, who has plenty on his plate, but this is ridiculous. Is our AD even awake to this situation?
What exactly do you expect? There's no meaningful info to report at this time. They're practicing. You're not getting a press release about anything at this point.
Our AD hired a tail end of his career football coach who brought respectability back.(Big deal) AD did nothing about men's hoops and the Continuous Train wreck. AND now you want football news? Why should he get off his duff when he has done nothing significant and start earning his keep? Keep mediocrity at bay?
Follow Poppe, the coaches and the team on social media; reach out to Emily Maury and get on the email list; give some $ while you are at it. And stop complaining about lack of communication. show up at games and talk up our AD in the upper parking lot -he is very approachable.
As much as you’d like Poppe to fail, he won’t. Mark my words. And I, for one, won’t be turning on him. Especially when he does miles better than Fabish right off the bat. Watch and learn, buddy.
What has Poppe done? Abandoned the Bagnoli offense, abandoned the Fabbish defense! Already two ++ in my book! Bet he goes better than 20 and 28 Ivy wise in his career. As for the AD? Jim Engles just plain rots as a coach
Amen! And let’s not forget what he did at Union. Or at Harvard, or at CU during that 8-2 campaign. Shall I keep going? The guy’s a winner, plain and simple.
That’s right. Completely the fault of the supporters that Engles sucks and Fabish biffed it. Whatever you need to keep telling yourself. Poppe’s gonna be awesome. Will you still criticize the fans when he wins?
will it be streamed?
ReplyDeleteHow did the scrimmage go today
ReplyDeleteBig day for Mark Fabish yesterday. His Peddie Prep team beat St. Luke’s of New Canaan, Connecticut 39-10.

ReplyDeleteThe Texas Soph QB and the Junior transfer from Northwestern were nos. 1and 2 on the depth chart, respectively, and both looked good in the scrimmage.
ReplyDeleteJake--We need you bad.
ReplyDelete10-0

DeleteIt is not his first HC job. He was a HC last season.

ReplyDeleteLet's Go Lions! 🦁
DeleteThe most amazing part is that Poppe will be a winner at Columbia IN SPITE OF all the AD bs.
DeleteHe hired Poppe
DeleteSincere question: what specifcally is it about Poppe that has so many convince, “He’s a winner?”
DeleteI am not taking at shot by any means, I just cant figure out what he has done that stands out from any other coach starting their first HC gig
But he hasn’t fired Engles.
DeleteFollow Poppe, the coaches and the team on social media; reach out to Emily Maury and get on the email list; give some $ while you are at it. And stop complaining about lack of communication. show up at games and talk up our AD in the upper parking lot -he is very approachable.
ReplyDeleteYes, any and all constructive criticism must be eradicated. You can say anything, as long as it’s positive.
DeleteThis comment: "Follow Poppe...give some $...show up" the most astute and relevant comment. Thank you for it.
DeleteThe fans will turn on Poppe soon. Give it a few weeks and the honeymoon will wear off. He'll be run out of town like the others.
ReplyDeleteAs much as you’d like Poppe to fail, he won’t. Mark my words. And I, for one, won’t be turning on him. Especially when he does miles better than Fabish right off the bat. Watch and learn, buddy.
DeleteWatch and learn!

DeleteHate to say it but Columbia has some of the dumbest “supporters” in the country
ReplyDeleteClowns
DeleteThat’s right. Completely the fault of the supporters that Engles sucks and Fabish biffed it. Whatever you need to keep telling yourself. Poppe’s gonna be awesome. Will you still criticize the fans when he wins?
DeleteIf you are a fan act like it; if you are not a fan, get off this board. This board is for people who love Columbia football.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteThank you, gatekeeper.
DeleteOh how I miss the Bubble Screen! I guess you guys loved it?
ReplyDeleteThe past is the past. Focus on new beginnings.
DeleteAs opposed to old beginnings?
DeleteYou're deranged
DeleteWhatever you say.
DeleteWe are seven days from the season opener. Does anyone know who our quarterback is?
ReplyDeleteThe staff does. But it's a secret for now.
DeleteGoodwin
DeleteGoodwin with Freeman as the number two.
