After finishing last season at .500, the Columbia football team could not seem to put together a full game in the fall, finishing 1-9 and winless in the Ivy league.

Craig Hormann is a typical SEAS senior with only a few weeks left in his college career—he’s got meetings to attend, final exams and projects, and he just finished getting his first out-of-college job settled.

According to ESPN.com, Columbia senior quarterback Craig Hormann has signed with the Cleveland Browns organization as an undrafted free agent.

On Saturday at the annual Blue and White spring football game, the story on defense was about what was not seen as much as it was about what was seen.

This weekend, Columbia experienced another spring game with a quarterback on the sideline. Sophomore transfer Shane Kelly, who spent the season as backup quarterback, injured his knee last week and did not participate in Saturday’s annual Blue and White spring game.

Last spring, the question was whether Craig Hormann’s knee would stand up come fall. As a result sophomores Shane Kelly and M.A. Olawale are poised to battle for Hormann’s starting quarterback spot this spring.

The bad news is that the defense on the Columbia football team was one of the worst in the Ivy League last season, but the good news is that most of the strongest players on that defense are coming back for the 2008 campaign.

Senior quarterback Craig Hormann won’t be waiting for an NFL draft call on April 27, but he might be waiting on one shortly after.

Fresh off a season in which it went 19-10 overall, 11-3 in the Ivy League, finished second in league standings behind Cornell, and earned its fourth-ever postseason berth, the Brown’s men’s basketball program is at a loss. Its head coach of two years, Craig Robinson, has stepped down from his position and accepted a job to coach at Oregon State next season.

The Athletics Department announced on Thursday, April 3 that the annual Blue and White football game will take place on April 19 at Robert K. Kraft Field at Lawrence A. Wien Stadium at 4 p.m.
