Ken711 billhoward It feels as if new Ivy coaches who aren't successful are moved on inside of a half-dozen years (with exceptions) or else they do well and stay well over a decade: Bagnoli until recently, currently five others – Priore (Penn, 9 years), Surace (Princeton, 14), Reno (Yale, 12), Murphy (Harvard, 30) – are longstanding.

ACM This is in the running for the worst-produced video of the year. The audio levels were lower than other streaming channels I jumped to between periods. Had to catch up on the travails of Santos and the former President. How many times can one announcer say "takes the puck down Broadway"? And yet no shoutout for the Naked Cowboy.

Trotsky This is fun. A 2019 study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that 75% of white students who were recruited to Harvard as ALDCs "would have been rejected" if they had been treated as white students without those connections. 99% of the non-ALDCS students couldn't get the puck over the blue line against the Columbia club team.

Re: CU-BU 2023 - 9 days ago
JohnF81 It was a great crowd and atmosphere at MSG. 15,289 was an excellent turnout. St. John's basketball drew 14,188 when they played Michigan at MSG two weeks ago. Great comments by Mike in the postgame on alumni support. 15,289/18,006 MSG hockey seating = 85% full Saturday night. I thought it felt much fuller than that, but I cannot fathom an arena ever undercounting. Might be it includes tiby billhoward - Hockey

Re: New Cornell football coach search. - 14 days ago
ugarteI like the idea of a D3 guy that can build a program and train someone to take over. The school might not want a stepping stone coach but I wouldn't mind one that puts himself in a position to be poached. We're describing Al Bagnoli of D3 Union after a half-dozen assistant coach years then in 10 as Union HC he made the playoffs 6X, 2X to the title game, then Penn moved him up.

Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 14 days ago
What are the March 2024 Sweet Sixteen arenas? Should we pencil them in? Cornell could make it unbeaten through December 5. Then Syracuse. The losing streak is 42. Last 2 wins over the Orange were the years where protesting ROTC and Vietnam was a major sport. Even in 2009-2010, out Sweet Sixteen year, we lost by 15 to the Orange.

Trotsky Accusing Cornell of being anti-Semitic seems like accusing Notre Dame of being anti-Irish but ok. If anyplace a Jew should feel safe-ish on campus, it ought to be at Cornell.

Re: New Cornell football coach search - 15 days ago
Ken711 Glad they are using a professional executive search company to assist in the national search. Glad Cornell made public the change just 25 hours after the season ended. Maybe the search company can accelerate the search process. Maybe Cornell can have a new head coach by end-of-year. Or January. Ivy league players don't sign letters or intent as at scholarship schools. But at least they wanby billhoward - Other Sports
Re: New Cornell football coach search - 16 days ago
If you find the right coach and he's relatively young, you could look forward to several decades of winning football in the Ivy League. As Harvard has done. The success profile is based on the Ivy coaches with 5+ years coaching an Ivy school: He might or might not be an alum, age was late 30s when hired, if he didn't catch fire immediately at least the new HC got the team headed upwards a yeaby billhoward - Other Sports
Re: New Cornell football coach search - 16 days ago
Ken711 Glad they are using a professional executive search company to assist in the national search. a) Definitely a help. b) If it doesn't work out, it's CYA insurance. My friends at Princeton who've played football say: Cornell should be the most successful football school in the Ivy League. You've got the freakin' ag school.by billhoward - Other Sports
Re: New Cornell football coach search - 16 days ago
Bill Belichick should be available. He's a Wesleyan grad so he knows academic schools. But he's old. About as old as Bob Blackman when we hired him. Wait, Belichick is 71 and Blackman at Cornell came aboard at 59. When somebody around 60 shows up and you're a student or recent grad, it feels like he's an octogenarian.by billhoward - Other Sports

Re: Cornell football coach - 16 days ago
With the season ended, the most likely outcome is for David Archer to step down as head football coach or be removed. Given his two-decade career with Cornell (including as a player), he might find a second life in athletics or Cornell administration. The decision will be easier – less hard – to make this year: * Cornell football lost 3 more games than the best-under-Archer .500 of 2022 *by billhoward - Other Sports

Seats for the visiting team are typically in the Princeton balcony. In the past 3 decades, I've gotten tickets blocks with the Cornell club a couple times, always balcony, and once as visitor tickets, also balcony, we've gotten standing room tickets night-of-game until 5 years ago, now bought standing room a week in advance, and always found empty seats behind the Cornell bench and certainly betwby billhoward - Hockey
Cornell @ Princeton 11/18/23 - 18 days ago
A day before the game, Princeton declared a sellout at the Hobey. That means there'll only be ~300-400 empty seats of 2,000. They leave beaucoup space for student - faculty walk-ins with ID cards and they overestimate.by billhoward - Hockey
