You may or may not have heard that Queens University of Charlotte has voted to move their athletics programs from Division 2 to Division 1, with some prognosticators projecting the ASUN, Big South, or OVC. Now you might be thinking this is all well and good, but I think it is an existential crisis. Why? Cause they're trying to steal our bit.



SEE! A lion with a crown, with a Monarch-ish team name, and one of their colors is even blue!!!! Truly a travesty. Completely unacceptable. The only remedy I see is that we need to play them once they start to transition to show them who has the rightful claim to the throne.

Can it be in tennis? I don't like our chances in men's hoops right now.

It was. But they’ve been coed for 40 years.

Did not Queens College beat VCU in an exhibition not so long ago? If so, they may have more wins vs VCU then we do recently...

They did, but that was in 2016. We beat VCU in 2018.
