And in this corner the sure fire challengers. The ones that had the most chances to win. Georgia Southern and Savannah College of Art and Design.
Who will win this most epic match? Where will we be moving to next? Will it be the Georgia state school or the New York rookies?
As the game started Parsons had the lead over SCAD. SCAD was taking their time getting to the point.
 |
| "I had gotten into Parsons but my husband had gotten into Georgia Southern. So we figured that if I got into SCAD we'd be moving to Georgia in the fall. We just had to wait and see if I'd get in." |
As the first round ends it's Parsons and Georgia Southern with a tie, 1 and 1. Then with a surprise upset Columbia calls. Yes! Columbia University folks. It looks like their interested in making an offer. But wait a minute!?! Yes! It's SCAD! Will this turn the game around? It this the moment of truth?
What's SCAD doing?
I don't believe it!
GOAL!!!!
SCAD in the game! Now it's up to Columbia. If the New York schools want to stay in the game they've got to pull a rabbit out the hat. This next plays got to be for all the marbles.
 |
| "When Columbia called they had a sweet offer. One of those you just can't say no to. They said they'd get back to use soon. Parsons needed to know if I was coming and their deadline was coming up. So we waited and waited to hear from Columbia." |
The tension is mounting! The time is running out. Will Parsons take a leap of faith and make a move and hope Columbia got's his back? Or will Georgia Southern and SCAD win?
Times running out!
WAIT!
What's this? Parsons making a move!
In a surprise move Parsons going for it. Parsons moving in. Will this change the game? Will this be the end of the game? Do the Georgia state school have this in the bag?
The Georgia state schools have been playing really will. They have the ideal location, right now, but lack some of the future opportunities the New York state schools can offer. Not to say they don't offer their own favorable futures.
The New York schools are young and they have a lot to give.
It looks like either one could win this.
 |
| "Time run out. We took a chance and told Parsons we were coming. We had decided that if Columbia offered we'd go, but if not we were just as excited about the Georgia state schools. They are just as good as the New York schools. They just didn't offer all the perks the NY schools did. But the GA schools where in the perfect place, closer to family and much more affordable. All we'd lose from this gamble would be a couple of $$$. It was worth it in the end." |
I don't believe it! I don't believe it!
Yes! It's Columbia! At the last moment with the game winning play. It seems Columbia has made the offer and it's good.
The games over with Parsons and Columbia as the winners!
What a great game!
The recap folks. Georgia Southern came in and set the stage. Then Parsons came in with a surprise first swing. We had a down moment where both school just waited on their teammates to make their moves. Then SCAD came in with a one two punch blocked by Columbia. Who put us on pins and needles while he waited for the right opening to strike. And strike he did with the winner offer.
It took each team a whole year to prepare for this game.
Many years of training!
And it wasn't easy!
Each team had to summit many hours of time to get into this game.
But the rookies shined through!
What's next for these New York schools?
Will like all good teams they'll have if figure that out for themselves. Will they come back to define their title?
Do they have a chance or was this just a fluke?
We'll just have to wait and see.
