Saddest, Least Fratty Homecoming EVER: Columbia Loses Homecoming Game Since 1982

Princeton at Columbia in the Homecoming game and Ivy League opener for the Lions. This from student paper:

Afternoon, sports fans. We've got the first big game of the Columbia football season for you, and we'll keep you updated as the game goes on.

4:09 PM (End of game): And that's your heartbreaking final, as Princeton runs out the clock. Princeton wins 27-24. Final stats: Shane Kelly passed for 221 yards from 19 completions on 25 attempts, and ran for 54 yards as well. Jordan Davis (11 attempts for 64 yards) and Ray Rangel (13 attempts for 57 yards) added to Columbia's total of 191 rushing yards. Despite the fumble, Mike Stephens did have 7 receptions for 95 yards. Finally, you have to ask: what if Columbia hadn't faked the field goal at the end of the 3rd? That was the margin of victory (though, in fairness, the lead was only 3 points because of a missed extra point). Overall, just a very tough loss.

That's the offbeat sports story for this weekend. What makes it funny is that every Ivy League pep squad hates playing Columbia since: A) No one shows up, and B) Ivy pep squads do push ups by point tally after score by their own team. Can you say TIRED.

Pardon us, we don't feel very well. Please, feel free to be brutal in our stead.

This is some elaborate prank right? No sports team can be that bad, no fraternity that unfratty, no dance team so filled cursed with ugg-mugs.

I refuse to believe that this can go on in real life. This twisted, sad prank- nothing funny about about it.

Why did you guys go through the trouble to stage this hoax? You're sick.

Brutal? Where would I start?
