The 'Gheny students keep chanting "U-S-A, U-S-A" which has the Witt announcer perplexed.  I assume it's aimed at Borchers, who is from Russia, after all.  Pretty clever.

Yes, Borchers is from Russia . . . but Russia, Ohio, not the country!  So either the Allegheny students were confused, misinformed, or felt like chanting USA anyway just because of the relation.

I was worried there for a while, thought Allegheny was gonna pull it out.  I'm from the same hometown as Casey McCloskey, and since he played for the "golden school" of our local media, he got a LOT of exposure.  He's a very good player, and Witt needs to find a way to shut him down when the Gators come to Springfield for the regular season finale.

Now we get to the next interesting game of the day.  Wooster - Port Game 1.

Gatorgrl here.  Having been a two-sport Gator athlete, albeit pre-Title IX, I still have some connections at Allegheny.  Wanna know anything besides the fact that indeed, Rob Clune WAS a stand-up comic in the 80s? 

Gatorgrl here.  I know a small bit about about what's going on with the Gators -- enough to know that, yes, in a previous life Coach Clune was indeed a stand-up comic in New York City.  He claims that's as hard a job as he's ever had.
