Money isn't real, George. It doesn't matter. It only seems like it does.

Another great day here in lovely Plattsburgh. I was informed by my roommates that it snowed this morning. By the time I woke up and got outside, about noonish, there was no snow on the ground therefore I refuse to believe them. It's like that saying "If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it does it really fall?", yeah I don't want to hear about snow on April 18.

Practice was business as usual for the boys in red and white as we prep for our rematch against Williams on Wednesday.

Interesting factoids about Williams College. Established in 1793, Williams was an all males school until 1970. Williams has won the NACDA Directors Cup 14 times, "presented to the institution within each NCAA division that has the greatest overall success in NCAA sanctioned-championships". The award has been around for 15 years. The school has also produced 37 Rhodes Scholars, the most of any liberal arts school.

However, my favorite fact about Williams is something that Norchi pointed out to me. Kyle had a little extra time on his hands and decided to do a comparison of Williams College and our fine state university Plattsburgh.

In 2009 Plattsburgh received $10.3 million in endowments, not bad for a small state school.

Williams? $1.41........billion.

They better have a nice visitors locker room...
