Another Year, Another Undefeated Football Season for VC


          GUEST REPORTER-Well folks, they have done it again. The VC football dynasty dating back to the mid-1800s remains undefeated. The feeling of elation burns strong in the Upstate New York campus. The sustained excellence and ability to keep the program Paterno, excuse me, scandal free add to the prestige surrounding the storied tradition that is VC football. Unlike many other historically strong programs, VC shies away from the athletic spotlight and is content to highlight other impressive aspects of the school. Local Po-town resident, Nichole Polizzi, is a self-identified super fan saying that “[she] has never missed a game in her life.” 
The mystique surrounding the team is palpable. The head coach is seemingly unreachable, the players remain anonymous to outsiders and the field is nowhere to be found. Historians maintain that VC was the original football powerhouse and that the BCS system is what keeps the team from national recognition. Analyst and former coach, Mike Ditka, is one of many advocates demanding that the NCAA induct every VC team since the creation of the program into the College Athletics Hall of Fame. Last Wednesday at a press conference Ditka remarked “These guys have always been the toughest. It was always one of Bear Bryant’s biggest regrets that he never beat Vassar. Let me tell you, if my ’85 Bears team played the 85’ Vassar team, I honestly don’t know who would have won. The seniors on that team just did not know how to lose. Four straight years without a loss is simply unheard of in big time football.” As we can all see, VC, has been, has and will have one of the greatest legacies in the history of organized sport.
