Please come to West Philly to watch Cornell play against Pennsylvania on Franklin Field this Saturday at noon.
Cornell is primed to avenge a 2004 loss to the Quakers at Franklin -- one of the most frustrating losses of the Tambroni years, with Penn coming from behind late in the fourth quarter.
The Quakers are still smarting after losing by five goals to Harvard at home last weekend. Ouch. It was their first loss of the season. The guys I like to watch on Penn are the Andrzejewski brothers (especially senior DJ), middies from St. Paul's. They have some good freshmen, including another middie I really like, JJ Lian from the Hudson Valley. Kelleher, a defenseman, is good too but he has missed a bunch of games due to injury.
No matter how nice the weather is, you won't see a big crowd. Attendance at Franklin Field has dropped even more precipitously than attendance at Schoellkopf (and that's saying something). You'll see how the parents/friends entourage that follows Cornell lax all over the continent can take over a venue.

Cornell survives two men down since Penn stepped in the crease, nullifying the goal and giving Cornell possession.

Maybe they have holes in the bubble wrap and the wires got wet. Like "Some-Access" needs more excuses for not delivering reliable service.

One wonders where CSTV is picking up the feed. One would think it would be at the radio station, not at the stadium, and, apparently, the feed is still getting to the radio station.

Penn's strategy of not sliding and forcing us to go one-on-one appears to be effective. Finding the open man after a slide is our specialty.

I'd be shocked if they could actually do something. "Call the school". Um, no one at the school would be there on a Saturay. "Oh, well, too bad".

Of course, they've NEVER done anything. Some small satisfaction in telling them their service is out, though.

Penn is really not letting the CU attackmen have anything, so Bouloukos keeps on shooting.
Crap, Penn scores to tie it.

We were sloppy against Yale last Saturday, but the big early lead made it immaterial. This is worrisome today.

Disappointing game, but in some ways not surprising given the game at Penn two years ago. Penn was looking ahead last week against Harvard but was ready for us today. Another tough one at Harvard next week. We'll be there, but I really wanted us to be undefeated going in.
We apparently missed some really in-close chances when ahead 2-0. Another goal or two there might have broken it open, but it didn't happen.

The loss hurts even more because the Southerners had that 15-year cold spell when Yankee teams won most every year ... and they've been champing at the bit waiting to explain how it was just an aberration.

Top 15 wins for us:
Notre Dame - 9 (before their win over Dartmouth today)
Lehigh - 13
Army - 15
Teams we beat who could end up top 15:
Yale - 20
and of course, who knows how they'll treat Duke (22)
Potential for further top 15 wins:
Princeton - 6
Harvard - 10
Syracuse - 16
Dartmouth maybe (19, before loss today)
And if they actually use RPI like they did last year, we're #1 in RPI even after our loss. If we can recover alright, keep playing well, and get at least 2 of those remaining wins (and root for 'Cuse the rest of the way except against us), we're in very good shape. They just need to bounce back and not let it effect them.

That wet popping sound in West Philly wasn't Drexel's annual egg drop competition.
It was Cornell's bubble bursting.
That was freaking awful. Penn earned it. Cornell got their butts kicked in every aspect of that game. The Quakers packed in their zone and easily kept Cornell's attackers near the crease, especially Mitchell, from getting the ball from up top or from behind. Normally, you'd expect Cornell's dodgemeisters, Boulukos and Seibald, to take advantage, but they couldn't shake their men more than a handful of times. Even on those rare occasions when Cornell guys found space by moving without the ball -- as Romero always seems to do, for example -- lazy passes gave possession right back to the Quakers. So many unforced errors, especially in transition. So much undisciplined play, including from Cornell's usually ship-shape d-middies (Marchant clearly is in the doghouse). Peterg was yelling for Cornell to shoot at the Penn goalie's feet -- and he was right, as usual (he called the Penn goalie "a statue".
The game also showed why Cornell fans should be terrified by the lack of a reliable faceoff game. It's fine when you're way in front. It's deadly when you're trying to come from behind.
The only thing that gave me hope was seeing the team file out of Franklin Field in neat rows of two -- a relatively new Cornell lax tradition. If anyone can get this team's focus back, it's this coaching staff.
Although the game sucked, the socializing was A+, thanks as usual to the warmth and generosity of the parents. A ton of former players showed up, and many regulars from various message boards.
