Time marches, seniors graduate, and a new slate of games goes up across the river on Blodgett Pool’s brick façade. The reality of the new season, like the adjustment from gridiron to groupie, is rapidly dawning...
...OUTLOOK The Lions better win early, because with all their games against beatable Ivy competition on the road, the league slate will not be kind to Columbia this season. The Lions’ two most winnable games are the season opener under the lights at Fordham and the home opener against Duquesne.

My idea is that in 2013, 2014, 2015, we can get our house in order and catch up with the competition: Malaysia, Thailand, even Indonesia. It may be pie-in-the-sky right...
