Sad news - 10 days ago
Hockey great, Brian Cornell ‘69, passed away on July 22 from ongoing health complications related to muscular dystrophy. He sadly joins a list of Cornell hockey legends no longer with us - Dan Lodboa, John Hughes, Harry Orr, Mike Doran, both Ferguson twins. As both an undergrad and grad student, I was fortunate to have seen them all play. Here’s coach Schafer’s note - “It is with great sadneby George64 - Hockey

Ken711 I see commit Matt Tully ‘27 is wearing a chest protector. Did lax players wear them when the late George Boiardi ‘04 was playing? For those too young to remember, Boiardi was hit in the chest by a ball at the wrong instant, causing a fatal heart arrhythmia. .by George64 - Other Sports

Then again, lots of great football coaches, from Bob Blackman to George Seifert, have tried to MCFGA (Make Cornell Football Great Again) and failed.

Re: Cornell football 2022 - 7 weeks ago
SwampyBut what happens when an alum coach is a total failure but for over ten years has been out of the job market for graduates in the field they studied? They're not competitive elsewhere as a coach, but neither are they competitive any longer in their academic field. No happy ending here. After his graduation, Archer taught fourth and eigth grades as part of the Teach For America program. Hby George64 - Other Sports

FallCreek I suspect that it will be a lot easier to recruit in the near future. I am going to guess that playing for Coach Buczek will be a draw given what he has done. He is only 10 or so years older than the 18+ year old players he is recruiting and had the credentials that will impress. Thanks to all the seniors for a great year!
