Seems like just yesterday, but it was one year ago this weekend that several PrognostiQuakers sat in a crowded room on Columbia's campus for the symposium on losing.
We listened as grumpy old Colum-ni whined about their alma mater's losing ways and what to do about it.
And the next day, as the losing continued in their homecoming blowout at the hands of Penn, they did something about it.
Much like any school that had a century-long bout with a losing problem, they did the only thing they could. They got a new mascot.
It wasn't just any mascot. It was a mascot with an enormous rack.
Seriously, have you seen Roar-ee the Lion? Apparently, nothing fires a team up more than watching your mascot run out there with man-boobs flopping around like Phil Mickelson walking the fairway.
Can't argue with results, though, as Roar-ee's debut went just as planned. His team got blown out, nobody showed up, and the 1 train took forever to get back to campus. We'd say Day 1 went perfectly.
But now, it looks like Roar-ee is losing track of his losing ways.
Bro still needs a manzier, but all of a sudden, his team has forgotten how to lose. Thanks to a schedule featuring the bottom feeders of Division I, Roar-ee's been looking awfully perky lately.
We think a little reduction surgery is in the works this week, but we got a second opinion, just to make sure.
None of the nation's three Rory Lyons picked up the phone, so we consulted another expert.
"Penn," said the not-so-famous Pamela Anderson of New Hope, Pa. "27-24."
She's got some real brains on her.
