So Much Winning

It really is an amazing year so far. Hope they can keep it up.  They are right up there with the other best teams in the country.

I'm not sure whether Union has good academics, but they don't pay their players in the same way that we don't pay our players.  Cough.

U accepts 37%; Q 76%.

Oh, I know Q is a joke.  Just wondered about U.

Union has a very good undergrad reputation with concentrations in the sciences and engineering.  Their grad school has an excellent MPA program among other things.

OK, then we don't kick them out for academics.  We kick them out for being annoying and having ugly sweaters.

Here are our RS v PS records which I have unaccountably only taken back to 1982 as of yet.

Fun trivia about Schafer's tenure.  I went back and counted the number of years in which each team has failed to advance out of the First Round (or previously the Round of 5) during Mike's first 22 seasons.  Note Cornell has already advanced this year as well.

Agreed Larry,  Union has great academic programs - I know of several friends kids who have done undergrad at Union and gone on to be Veterinarians and MDs and college profs all highly respected in their careers.  They all speak highly of their educational experience there.
