Cornell football 2023

Thank you, billhoward, for the good information. Neither of us are Cornell grads. I've always wanted to see a game at Schoellkopf and that opportunity has arrived. Sounds like free parking is a convenient walk from the stadium. Can I count on geting walkup tickets on gameday or should I pre-order?

Thank you, billhoward, for the good information. Neither of us are Cornell grads. I've always wanted to see a game at Schoellkopf and that opportunity has arrived. Sounds like free parking is a convenient walk from the stadium. Can I count on geting walkup tickets on gameday or should I pre-order?

Yes, I believe football tickets should be available at gametime. We have had good luck just walking up, the past couple years. There is a separate entrance for non-students, that entrance being the back side of the stone crescent that is the main (only) stands, called the Crescent. If you look at the stadium from the road (Campus Road), the Crescent entrance is on your left and up a short slope. You can buy e-tickets on your phone in advance but you also just walk up and pay cash although Cornell seems to prefer contactless (phone) payment. Do NOT buy tickets through third-parties online because there is no reason to pay surcharges.

The stadium address for your GPS is 521 Campus Road, Ithaca 14850. (Actually, parking will be farther away from main campus. Set your GPS to 901 Campus Road, which is Cornell's B Lot, it's either free or cheapish). Oh, if you want to bring things in, it needs to be in a clear plastic bag 12x12x6. Read about athletics / tickets / parking rules here: [scl.cornell.edu] There are a lot of rules, it seems, but also the older -- read: less student-like -- the less they hassle you.

The 50-yard line is between sections EG and EG. E is for East Stands; there used to be West Stands as well but they were removed in 2016.

Lieutenant Autumn on our side today, with the weather bad and headed towards terrible.

Second Yale drive assisted by two dumb Cornell penalties. A personal foul on a QB who was down, and an interference on an otherwise uncatchable pass. Bah, I say.

Penalties give Yale a touchdown.

Any ideas how else we can give this one away?

look they're much better than us so there was no way we were winning but it still is embarrassing how collectively bad the team looks

Why was Carruthers not in the backfield on 1st and goal? Only back who gets yardage.

Be fair. Consider the Archer era. We're fairly cromulent or a bit worse.

My Eli son and I are enjoying the game (on ABC). Clemson is up by 3 and about to score with 2:17 left in the half.

This second half thing coincided with the Clemson, FSU halftime. We're now in the streamcast.

Oh god, we drop a 6.

But then we go for it on 4th inside the 20 and get the first.

And now Cornell gets the go ahead TD on a flag pattern. 17-14, late third quarter.

What in the Wide, Wide World of Sports is goin' on here?

camera misses the TD live with the worst camera work possible but they get a replay up with a good look immediately and Cornell is up 17-14 and looks like a different squad.

17-14, end of Q3. Yale has the ball, 4th and 9 from just inside our 30. Switching sides to kick with the wind so FG try possible.

More compelling than a Clemson halftime show. Thank you, Touchdown!

A deserved win. Played a gutsy game after a difficult start.

79 plays from scrimmage to Yale's 52.

Carothers 9 carries for 95 yards. Big difference for offense.

Thanks to the Yale coach for giving us some extra clock when he couldn’t have gotten the ball back no matter what

FYP:
Get a new contract for the guy. Some critics past wanted a contract on him.

If I'd have known we'd win, I would have started a separate thread.

Let's not have a Homecoming letdown.

Friday (8:30 fireworks), sunny, high 68 (but 48 low). Saturday, sunny, high 72 (2 pm gametime). The only unknowns for Saturday are final score and final number of alcohol transports.

"Dancing in the Moonlight" was played at our freshman concert by Boffalongo, which disbanded and members went on to King Harvest (the version you heard) and Orleans. So, yeah, it's pretty apt, the official reunion slogan. I have a classmate friend who had big time heart surgery a decade ago, he's fine now, and the rehab groups made T-shirts, Not Dead Yet.

You can read the Boffalongo to King Harvest to Orleans progression and then they'll be a quiz. I'd pass with flying colors for about 5 minutes and then half an hour later flunk with abandon.

Orleans is to be commended for this:

I didn't bother even thinking about a win after seeing us at Lehigh. So allI can say is "Holy Shit!"

Running game was so much crisper than it was against Lehigh. Good effort considering they were going against Yale's left tackle Kiran Amegadjie, who is considered the top NFL prospect in the Ivies. To be honest was expecting Yale to win by 2 touchdowns. Also am impressed with the pass defense this season. Per the late Yale touchdown on the 4th and 20-that was a perfect pass against pretty decent Cornell coverage. As long as Wang stays healthy don't count out the Red. Only concerns are the injuries to Kiser and Stebbins. Looking forward to Homecoming!!

i think one thing that improved the running game in the second half is less RPO and more straight runs or passes. i don't think the option is smooth at all and the indecision means that there's a beat of delay on every handoff that feels like an eternity. when the play call was fixed the offense executed.

meanwhile dartmouth rolled lehigh

... and confusing even if you're lighting up. There is John Hall of Orleans, the Mid-Hudson Congressmen / Orleans guy. Elected to Congress in a Republican district 2006, 2008, unelected 2010. Then there is Daryl Hall and John Oates, which is confusing and would be more so if it were John Hall and Daryl Oates.

There was a succession of 8-10 plays in the second half where Amegadjie was mentioned on every play. He was amazing.

I noticed that on both AD Moore's newsletter and the IL website, ESPN+ is mentioned. Yet last night I searched for the Cornell/Yale football game in the on-demand section of ESPN+ in the ESPN app, but had no luck. Can anyone advise about this?

[www.espn.com]

its there

at least on a computer it is.

In the watchespn.com banner click on the schedules and replays link. Pick replay and select your sport and the date of the game your looking for. The list will show all the ESPN televised games on the date you select. Hope this helps.

These Colgate helmets are something out of iPacifier hell. They're not quite as shit as huggy bear or #yellcornell, but they come from the same meatball area code.

We can't move the ball but Colgate has been committing ritual suicide on offense and special teams so it may not matter.

Can we please see Crothers at running back?

But for the Colgate fumble, we’re being outplayed across the board. And as Al says, where’s Crothers? And I’ll add, what’s the deal with Tillman? He was by far our best back last year, and while he missed the last several games of the season to injury, he’s played some this year, but quite sparingly.

7-7, Colgate misses a FG from ~34 and that's how the first quarter ends.

Colgate seems to know pretty much every play we’re running. As we know in-game coaching hasn’t been our strength.

Good think we have Wang, as his talent is the only think keeping us afloat.

Speaking of, Wang gets us the touchdown and it is 14-7.

Wang converts two 3d and long passes, a 2d and 14 designed run, hits a screen to Laboy who takes it for 38 and then runs it in himself from the 5. Great drive. Cornell 14-7.

And, on their touchdown drive, every defensive play we were calling.

colgate throws up an absolute disaster of a pass - way off target and with an insane amount of air underneath it - and Cornell picks it off but they call roughing the passer. Oof.

Cornell forces 4th and 5 beyond field goal range and an incomplete pass and gets the ball back at around the same spot as the pick.

Night fell early.

cornell with neat hook and lateral for 9, alas it was 3d and 12. good punt.

hachi machi great catch on a mediocre throw from osboren under pressure to gain 30. then a big scramble, and a broken tackle on a pass and Colgate has flown down the field to the Cornell 10. ugh.

Wang has 131 of Cornell's 135 yards total offense.

short pass for a TD and the kick is good. Tied at 14, nearing the end of the half.

2 minute drill going incredibly well so far with Carothers and Wang runs, Laboy and Woodring catches. Clock management with the boundary and the first downs and Cornell is inside the 20.

Ugh great pass juggled in the end zone and caught OOB or it would have been a TD. Busted sweep on 3d and 2... Archer calls time out with 2 seconds left to set up a 34 yard FG... Colgate timeout to ice ... GOOD. 17-14 at the half

Fortunate to be leading at the half, but a pretty poor performance. I’m surprised that near TD wasn’t reviewed—sure look close to having his toe in. And on the next play the kid should have cut inside, as he had plenty of daylight, but for some reason he kept running outside and into the defenders.

i assume it looks easier from here lol but yeah.

I will admit that I missed the first quarter and maybe it was a disaster with a lucky forced fumble but the second TD and half-ending FG drives were both very good and the drive with the (non-)pick was very good. Mixed bag.

Dreadful play calls to end that drive.

Cornell with a good drive inside the 30 but go for it on 4th and long instead of kicking from 46 and Laboy can't get open. There was a crossing route underneath that Wang didn't look at that probably goes for the first if the throw is clean. Bummer.

Promising opening drive peters out meekly at the Colgate 30. But we had an Eddy Tillman sighting at least

3d and 7 and a terrible job of tackling to let Osborne scramble for the first.

Defense not being helped by zero pass rush

Getting to the passer is important but so is containment.

Force another 3d and 7 and another scramble but they get him this time to force a punt.

Frustrating to watch this.

Sure is. The team seemingly got full of themselves after last week, and seem to be reverting to the “norm”. Men’s soccer starts now, so might be a good time to check that out.

Cornell pins Colgate to their 3 with a 66 yard punt and the defense lets them drive out.

Manhandling Cornell's defensive line.

Soccer scores in 19th minute 1 nil.

Losing to an 0-4 team at homecoming, how embarrassing.

What is with these rugby punts? Pointless when this guy keeps kicking it 20 yards

Good thing their kicker can't kick straight.

couple of bad drives back to back; Colgate scores and Cornell stalls. Colgate driving again. Terrible tackling from our D but at least they missed another FG.
