Everyone has been very pleasantly surprised by this year’s football team–even The New York Times is jumping on the Lions’ bandwagon.  A recent article heaps praise on “unflappable” senior quarterback M. A. Olawale, crediting him with propelling Columbia to its recent victory over Fordham.  Olawale, a neuroscience major planning to head to medical school after graduation, did all sorts of exciting football things during the game–he threw 38- and 32- yard passes, set up touchdowns, and even withstood an unsportsmanlike onslaught from a “frustrated” Fordham team.  Check out Olawale and the rest of the delightfully successful Lions next Saturday at 12.30pm when they kick off their home opener against the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils.
