OT: Penn Update?

I see Penn is on the College Sports Pass bandwagon too...

Anyone by a radio in Ithaca have a update on the football game?

Cornell's CB Kyle Thomas intercepts the ball in the end zone...

Cornell's opening drive of the 2nd Quarter...don't hear a score...9:37 in the half...Cornell goes 3 and out after a false start penalty...Fergusan sticks the punt returner...8:42 left in the half, Quakers up 7-0 and on their 37.

Still 7-0 Penn. Cornell D playing well. Cornell O not getting any traction since their first drive was ended with an INT.

Over on YES, Dartmouth just went up 9-3 over Princeton. It would have been 10-3, but the Green placekicker missed his third straight PAT.

41-0 according to the last update on YES.

31-0 final according to ESPN.com.

Princeton just took the lead 17-16 on a 60+yd TD run. Yale's learning the truth of my father's favorite football broadcaster cliche, as that missed extra point "could come back to haunt them".

I'm pretty sure that you mean Dartmouth.

Although Yale also missed an extra point in very ugly fashion today.

By the way, attending the Harvard-Yale game today did nothing but increase my disdain for those two institutions.

The 31-0 score was deceptive. It was a 7-0 game until Cornell lost their QB to injury.

Considering how horrendous they looked last year and early this, I'd say the team improved a lot this year. They're several cuts below Penn and Harvard in talent, but I think they can compete for a winning record and 3rd next season. Moving in the right direction, anyway.

Dartmouth indeed. And I must have misheard the 31-0 score as 41-0. It's only football.

Agree. This year turned out much better than I had expected. The key question for next year is: Who plays QB? There was no real backup to Razzano.

Razzano is staying another year. A Junior defensive lineman in my class tells me this, saying he's "listed as a Senior, but really isn't and is going to play another year."

Take that as you may...

Given the fact that we had that big win over Towson, who beat Morgan St, who beat Hampton, who beat James Madison, who beat UNH, who beat UMass, who beat Villanova, who beat Rutgers, who beat Army, who beat Tulane, who beat Southern Miss, who beat Illinois, who beat Wisconsin, who beat West Virginia, who beat Boston College, who beat Notre Dame...

I guess you could say that on any given day...

On other Ivy football news, Columbia fired coach Ray Tellier. The Columbia AD does not appear to understand that losing is the very essence of Columbia football. Few things are as pure and certain as the utterly bleak fall that every season-opening kickoff foretells.
