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?

Career Day for Dom
What a day for the emerging star, sophomore QB Dominic Randolph! In the impressive 38-28 Crusader victory at Lafayette, Dom set personal highs with 4 touchdown passes, 352 passing yards, and 34 completions (34 of 46). The 34 completions broke Brian Hall's school record of 32 completions from Holy Cross's 63-53 win over Lafayette in a wild game in 2001. Some Leopard symmetry, perhaps?
Incidentally, that Brian Hall game was the last time a HC player won the Dr. Eddie Anderson Family Weekend MVP trophy, presented by the Holy Cross Club of Greater Worcester. It's been five years. The upcoming Lehigh game would be the perfect time to break the streak of visiting players taking home that trophy on Family Weekend!
All the single-game and year-to-date Dom Randolph numbers make you wonder if he's on his way to eventually entrenching himself among the QB greats who dominate the HC record book: guys like Wiley, Ciaccio, O'Neil and Hall, with the occasional Muldoon, McCarthy and Stapp thrown in for good measure.
We'd love to see it happen. The man can play.

Good Day, Bad Day
The Holy Cross basketball teams split their doubleheader with the Leopards of Lafayette College on Saturday afternoon, but the real story of the day was the bus accident involving the men's basketball team as they made their way home to Worcester. No passengers on the HC charter were injured, but tragically, two teenagers in another car were killed. We send our thoughts and prayers to everyone involved.
As for the games, the men had a nice comeback as they overcame a halftime deficit, and came away from Easton with a 77-61 win, improving to 6-2 in PL play.
The Crusader women suffered a devastating 54-49 defeat. Once again, the ladies shot poorly, going for 31.3% from the field, 20% from three-land, and 37.5% from the stripe. Holy Cross will need a near-miracle to achieve a 17th 20-win season for head coach Bill Gibbons: They'll have to win the rest of their league games, win the PL tourney, and win their first-round game in the NCAA tournament.
So we're looking at a win total short of twenty, but that aside, the team can still make the NCAAs. The next two games are critical tests. In this opinion, this Saturday's matchup against the talented, young squad from Bucknell will be the game of the week for the women's team. It should make for an outstanding doubleheader at Hart!
