Quick Update...


Hughes is out... is Knowles next?


... awaiting the big news from the league offices today on the All Ivy honorees. Usually, this comes out around 1 or 2pm Eastern.

I think Lou Miller and Austin Knowlin have great shots at first team, but here's hoping they don't forget Adam Mehrer and the offensive line. Jeff Adams, Evan Sanford, and John Seiler deserve first team or at least second team. I think M.A. Olawale deserves an honorable mention at QB.

My list goes on, but let's just wait until we get the official news.

The big news today is still that Princeton Head Coach Roger Hughes has been axed. I was surprised by that decision based on the Tigers strong finish. But recruiting missteps may have been the root of this decision. Remember that with all their resources and beautiful facilities, Princeton began last season with just one real QB!

I think everyone's money was on Jim Knowles at Cornell losing his job first, but I have no information on where he stands with that administration.

No surprise that Princeton axed Hughes yesterday. However, it is surprising that Cornell hasn't done the same thing to Knowles yet. If you are going to remove the football coach, the best time is obviously when the day after the season ends. If Knowles makes it through this week, he will return next year. Anyway, the important thing for Columbia is to take advantage of the turmoil surrounding the programs at Princeton, Cornell and Yale, and try to sign up asap some of the best recruits headed to the Ivy League . If we can recruit a couple more standout players at the skills positions, the Lions will be ready to compete for the Ivy League Championship next season. Jake, thanks for all your great articles this football season. Now, it's on to the recruiting wars.
