So, our best hope each year of a Patriot League victory has come through in the clutch once again: The Patriot League Academic Honor Roll.

Georgetown had 32 players on the list, most in the league.

Just another case of Ivy envy and using "grade inflation" to enhance ones reputation.

Patriot League Trivia: Here's a quote from the article:


The mark of 131 honorees eclipses the previous high of 124 on the Football Academic Honor Roll last season. Georgetown led all schools with 32 student-athletes named to the Honor Roll, while Bucknell had 22, Fordham notched 20, Holy Cross recorded 19 and Lafayette had 18.

Now tell us how many Lehigh had why they were not referenced in the press release! First prize is a set of steak knives ...

Seriously, kudos to the Hoyas as well as Ryan McGuire from HC!

Yikes - I thought they were referenced in there and assumed Lehigh had 20. I guess LU & CU split them.

Quadir Carter, Chris Ekpo and Jordan Scott were listed as being All-League players that made the list, but otherwise no mention of Colgate or Lehigh's numbers, which while they were smaller than the other 5 schools, were still worth mentioning, I would have thought

How very "un-Patriot League" xchinscratchx

All jokes aside, that's something to be very proud of.

Now... can you please begin lobbying to add JMU to your schedule? Thanks!

Conagrats G'town. Always remember these kids are students first.
