...most wild assault of the weekend—Columbia head coach Norries Wilson’s verbal tirade following his team’s shutout loss at Penn. The Man made the big guy apologize (free speech is out, don’tcha know?), but he must have lit a fire under this Lions team, whose defense is hands down the best unit on the field...
