The final regular season game has arrived. T&G reporter Jennifer Toland has predicted a victory for Holy Cross today. I'm a little worried about that, as her record in picking the close-call PL games hasn't been good this season. She did correctly predict that Bucknell would lose to Holy Cross last week, but I don't think that was a tough call.
Anyway, best of luck to the Crusaders today. As many have said, these seniors have endured a lot, with the loss of Coach Allen and the subsequent transition, but they should be incredibly proud of their gains. 1-11 in 2003, 3-8 in 2004, 6-5 in 2005, and at least seven wins in 2006. We're hoping for 8 wins and maybe more!
Beat 'gate!

Fittest College Campuses
I heard about this story over the weekend, when Boston TV mentioned Boston College being in the top five, but only today did I see the entire list of Men's Fitness magazine's top 25 fittest college campuses.
Two PL schools made the top 25, with Colgate coming in at #2 and Lafayette at #17. Associate member Georgetown is listed at #18.
And how 'bout those Banana Slugs slotting in at #13! Slug references on back-to-back days! I hear a "blog label" coming! (Sorry, should've issued a geek alert.)
The list:
1. Dickinson College
2. Colgate University
3. Boston College
4. Wheaton College (Illinois)
5. University of Vermont
6. Gustavus Adolphus College
7. Grove City College
8. Texas Christian University
9. Baylor University
10. University of Richmond
11. University of Virginia
12. University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse
13. University of California-Santa Cruz
14. Washington & Jefferson College
15. Albertson College of Idaho
16. Santa Clara University
17. Lafayette College
18. Georgetown University
19. Roanoke College
20. California Institute of Technology
21. Virginia Tech
22. University of Denver
23. Ithaca College
24. University of Mary Washington
25. Gonzaga University
I've never heard of the schools listed at numbers 6, 7 and 24. Gustavus Adolphus? Am I alone?

Colgate pictures, May 2005
Here are the photos from my trip to Hamilton, NY, in May of this year. I was "in the neighborhood" to visit the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, in Cooperstown, which is about an hour from Hamilton. How often am I going to be that close to the Patriot League's remote outpost in upstate New York? So I decided the detour would be worthwhile.
I visited Colgate on a beautiful Saturday morning. It was "move out" day for many students. Parts of the campus were buzzing with activity, but obviously not the parts shown in these photos! I don't think there's one person in any of my pictures.
Colgate has a nice campus, built into a hill, but the hill is nothing like Mount St. James. As for Hamilton, it's a small, remote town in the middle of farm country. I think mattb was a little harsh, though, when he called it a "dump of a town." There's not much there, but it wasn't too bad as far as small towns go. Matt visited in the dead of winter, though, and I was there on a warm spring day. Weather can make an enormous difference when forming an impression of a town.
(By the way, that mattb road trip article is the same post where he gave his three key elements to Holy Cross's 2001-03 PL hoops domination. Very interesting, considering Holy Cross is executing NONE of those elements right now.)
Some of these pics have scan blemishes. Sorry about that. Not sure what's causing that. Click on any photo to enlarge it.
The interior of one of the student centers on the top part of the campus.
Quad in the upper campus area.
Part of lower campus, nearer the university's entrance. The houses across the pond are on one of Hamilton's main drags. I'm guessing they are frat houses. Typical farm country pictured in the distance. It looks like that for miles around.
The enticing entrance to the Reid Athletic Center, which includes Cotterell Court (basketball). The Hart Center at Holy Cross puts this building to shame. I tried a few doors, but couldn't get in (unlike Non Alum Dave, who, while visiting the campus once, "accidentally" caught a few moments of a Colgate men's hoops practice! We know you were scouting, Dave.)
Football stadium.
Visitor's grandstand, and press box.
Home grandstand.
Entrance to the lacrosse field. Expand this one to read the plaque explaining the field's name.
There was discussion on Crossports a while back regarding the lax fields and grandstands at various PL schools, so here's Colgate's.
Looks like they have a "mini" ski hill directly adjacent to their campus. Maybe a Colgate reader can give a little more background on this.
