Cornell Basketball to Play Syracuse Again

Boheim hints about it in an ESPN.com article. Would be great to see both Syracuse and Duke on the schedule. I provide a link to the article on my blog.

These are natural pairings, Cornell and Syracuse. As long as we're gong to lose to a non-Ivy opponent, let's make it to a name school, and one that's a close bus ride. And don't we beat Syracuse every tenth try, or thereabouts?

It took Cornell forever to get Army on as a lacrosse opponent and that was a natural given the scarcity of good, non-Ivy northern teams other than Syracuse and UMass (who Cornell used to play a lot).

I don't think so but every now and then


this happens.

In 1987, those shorts looked normal. Now, compared to today's shorts, it looks as if Cornell and Syracuse were playing in hot pants.

Forget the shorts; look at that chick's hair! My god... is that what women really looked like in the 80's? Then my memories of Red Dawn weren't really a bit of undigested beef?

The female announcer (you're thinking her hair, not his) had the 1980s update to the Farrah Fawcett blown-about hair of the late 1970s, popularized in Charlie's Angels and a couple Sports Illustrated swimsuit covers. It was more commonly referred to as the "just laid" form of hair styling. Variations on big hair live on in New Jersey and Texas. In Jersey, out; in Texas, up. Texans note, "The higher the hair, the closer to god." Amen.

Looking for something else, I stumbled on this 8 Nov 1954 editorial in the Sun archives regarding the Cornell-Syracuse rivalry [cdsun.library.cornell.edu] with a follow-up letter to the editor two days later [cdsun.library.cornell.edu] .
