I don't like Sundays. The garage I park in is almost always closed on Sundays even during games in the past.

It gives the crew about 36 hours to get the court set up after a Friday night football game.

Might also help get some students in the house - virtually no one will be back from Thanksgiving on Saturday, but kids will be returning on Sunday.

Patriot League teams have traditionally followed the Pac-10 and Ivy method of scheduling Friday/Sunday games in order to reduce the number of missed classes, but I think they're moving away from that. (Not sure why; seems to have coincided with the institution of athletic scholarships.)

Hard to believe that Colgate has beaten Syracuse 45 times in basketball. I wonder if any school has beaten Syracuse more. Cue to SWC to come up with top ten please.

No.

Penn State has 43 wins against us. Georgetown 39, Pitt 38, St Johns 37, UConn 36, Cornell and Nova 31.

Interesting. I never would have guessed it. Not sure who I would have guessed, but not Colgate and Penn State. Maybe, St Johns, Villanova or Georgetown.

I'm pretty sure most of those 45 wins came before the automobile.
