Episode 3: Scrub Talk

The Season | Oct 1, 2015

There's an unwritten rule in Columbia football: no bragging about past glory. On a team like the Lions, it's the last thing that matters.

Plus, we hear from Bill Campbell, the former chairman of Columbia's board of trustees and onetime head coach of the Lions. A confidant of Steve Jobs and former CEO of Intuit, Campbell has been hugely successful in the business world. But he's never figured out how to make the Lions a good football team.
