Because even the big city needs some school spirit...

The Big Adventure once overhead someone say  "New York City is the greatest city on earth because it has everything you'll ever need....well, except College Football" So, yeah, perhaps the closest thing to regular competitive university sports  is either hours away in Syracuse or in (gulp) Jersey at Rutgers. And before you start taking exception because I'm leaving off schools like Fordham, St. John's or even Hofstra - we're talking schools with strong divisions of sports across the board. Top tier Archery doesn't count (I'm looking at you here, NYU)

To that end, we're re-posting this information because it's kind of adorable and we believe in supporting the local guy: Columbia University is on a quest to get a big 4,000 Facebook Fans in order to have the most in the Ivy League!
