... and assistant Mike Jordan—Colgate to the Dance for the first time in 23 years!
Landing a quality Northwestern transfer who was immediately eligible sure helped.

Jordan and Langel - one of the great backcourts in Quaker history spoken in the same breath as Pawlak/Neuman, Bilsky/Wohl, and even Allen/Maloney.

I forgot to include Dave Klatsky, who’s also on Langel’s staff.

It was an entertaining game. Bucknell made the big comeback with that guy hitting treys on four consecutive possessions, but then the Red Raiders dug in, started forcing turnovers and got back to running decent offense. Nice job by Colgate.

They are now just "the Raiders" - PC strikes again!

1.) Has it really been that long since Adonal Foyle? Man, time flies when you're having. . .something. 
2.) Sheesh, it's like a late '90's-early '00's Palestra time warp 
3.) How was the transfer able to play right away?
4.) I didn't think Colgate's red had anything to do with Indians.

Any reference to color of any kind is politically incorrect these days. You have to keep it black and white. Oh, wait...

I remember beating St. John's in the '79 East Regional Finals when they were the Redmen and had all sorts of Indian, err Native American, regalia on their uniforms.

So here is the cockamamie reasoning employed:
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the nickname Red Raiders was originally coined by Dexter Teed as a reference to the new maroon uniforms of the 1932 football team, but later associations for many years created references to Native American caricatures and mascots,
AND WHEREAS, though Colgate dropped the Native American references in the 1970s, sentiments connected to the old mascot linger and there has been pressure to change the nickname,
AND WHEREAS the on-campus Committee on Athletics - comprising students, faculty and staff - has recommended that "Red" be dropped from the Red Raider nickname to remove any possible inference of a racial stereotype,
AND WHEREAS, the State Education Department is encouraging high schools throughout the state to change nicknames and mascots that signal a racial stereotype, and "Red Raiders" is on that targeted list,
AND WHEREAS Colgate recruits students from those schools and seeks to be a model for them,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Colgate teams henceforth shall be known as the Raiders, and further, that as new uniforms, equipment and publications are phased in, they will incorporate the new name.

The one I don't get is Hofstra. The Flying Dutchmen was a great nickname. And it's not like the Dutch have been systematically shat upon.
Now they're The Pride? Yuck.

But the wikipedia flying dutchman entry says:
The Flying Dutchman (Dutch: De Vliegende Hollander) is a legendary ghost ship that can never make port and is doomed to sail the oceans forever. The myth is likely to have originated from the 17th-century golden age of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The oldest extant version has been dated to the late 18th century. Sightings in the 19th and 20th centuries reported the ship to be glowing with ghostly light. If hailed by another ship, the crew of the Flying Dutchman will try to send messages to land, or to people long dead. In ocean lore, the sight of this phantom ship is a portent of doom.
So can't you understand how that is offensive to umm, uh, well....
Actually that was a great nickname.

I have a number of Dutch ancesters, confirmed by Ancestry.com. None of them could make a 3.

I wonder if they would be bummed by the Hofstra snub and demand that the Dutchmen fly again.
