Re: Cornell football 2023 - 6 months ago
Local Motion Ken711.........look we can agree to disagree, but the reality in order for our new AD Nicki Moore to be successful she has to get support from the current administration. Andy Noel had been trying to get the new indoor practice facility built since former president Elizabeth Garrett gave it her blessing back in 2016. Andy wanted on campus and Pollack wanted two miles off campus oby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2023 - 6 months ago
Local Motion I am confident our new AD Nicki Moore will address the football program at Cornell. She comes from Colgate where football has always be a priority in their athletic department, although they have also had issues with coaching turnover as of late. Again, one of the biggest challenges Nicki Moore will have at Cornell is dealing with Martha Pollack, who since her arrival has madeby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2023 - 6 months ago
Local Motion It's really too bad Jim Hofher left Cornell in 1998 because I think he could have enjoyed a long term successful coaching career at Cornell. I think Hofher was probably frustrated with the lack of support from admissions and financial aid at Cornell. I always liked the way Hofher coached the offense with a nice blend of running and passing the ball. HIe always had a strong runningby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2023 - 6 months ago
rss77 I think what has nagged Cornell over the years outside of the Musick and Baughn regimes is that CU can get talent to be competitive but not quite enough get to the top. Jim Hofher had a nice run as HC with success as well.by Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2023 - 6 months ago
ugarte Jeff Hopkins '82 I caught the last 5 minutes of the game on TV. The Penn announcers actually had some good things to say about Cornell. I didn't see the first half, so by the time I started watching it was already 16-0, so I can't speak to how we got there and given that score, it may well be that Penn slacked off a bit which made our team look better than it would have if Penn kept up fby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2023 - 6 months ago
tycho I’d have to go back and look, but it seems like very nearly all of the TDs against Cornell over the past couple of weeks have been >50 yarders. Hard to watch. This goes way back to Archer's decision to hire Jared Bakus as his DC. Bakus was the Princeton DC before Cornell hired him, and Princeton was planning to fire him after Princeton went 1-9, 1-9 and 5-5 in his 3 seasons there. Thiby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2023 - 6 months ago
Want a logical replacement for Archer. Look no further that U. of Penn's Offensive Coordinator Dan Swanstrom. He was went 32-11 (.744) and his teams registered eight wins in all four seasons in which they took led Ithaca College as their head coach. Knows the Ivy League, was a former head coach, and has even lived in the Ithaca area.by Ken711 - Other Sports

George64 Trotsky I think the Crescent is gorgeous, personally. While I don’t know if I’d call the historic Crescent “gorgeous,” I do find it unique, attractive and well-suited for our campus, with more than adequate capacity for most events. It could, however, use some additional amenities and undoubtedly some structural upgrades. The best way to deal with occasional capacity shortcomingsby Ken711 - Other Sports

RichH mike1960 Local Motion 2. It's ridiculous he traveled all the way from Chicago and we have no visitor section. Some of these big high school programs consistently draw 5-15K in some nice stadiums. Schoellkopf's current condition is not acceptable. Here's an idea: Sit Together. Thus, visitor section. The fact that West Stands haven't been rebuilt is pretty embarrassing. I felt they weby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Indoor sports facility announced - 6 months ago
Local Motion The Syracuse indoor practice facility which is the exact same dimensions as their stadium field cost $14MM in 2015. OK add $5MM for inflation and construction costs and we are at $19MM. Meanwhile, I am on the board of a charter school that just built a beautiful new basketball arena with 800 seats, new men's and women's locker rooms, new fitness center, and three new science laboby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Indoor sports facility announced - why $55MM? - 6 months ago
Local Motion I am very happy Cornell is finally getting a new indoor practice facility and it's something former AD Andy Noel had been working on for at least the last 15 years. It's also great that Cornell has some very generous donors. However, as someone who has spent his career in finance, I do not understand the $55MM price tag. For that price Cornell can build a new indoor practice facby Ken711 - Other Sports
