Re: Cornell football 2023 Homecoming 9/29 - Today
rss77Good effort considering they were going against Yale's left tackle Kiran Amegadjie, who is considered the top NFL prospect in the Ivies. There was a succession of 8-10 plays in the second half where Amegadjie was mentioned on every play. He was amazing.by Trotsky - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Soccer 2023 - Today
billhoward SwampyDon’t Strunk & White recommend utilizing variants of “use” instead of “utilize”? The latter being unnecessarily stuffy and bureaucratic. "Utilize" exists exactly for the reason you cite.Pol Pot was wrong about glasses, but would have been fine had he stuck to those who use "utilize."by Trotsky - Other Sports

Another tough penalty, but now 20-14. Need another stop.by Trotsky - Other Sports

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?by Trotsky - Other Sports

12 play, 70-yard drive to start the third quarter ends in a QB sneak TD. 10-14 and somehow we aren't dead yet.by Trotsky - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2023 - 2 days ago
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.by Trotsky - Other Sports

Re: Cornell football 2023 - 3 days ago
So this would appear to be one of those moral victory weekends. No chance on Ezra's Green Earth to win, so play our game, try to execute as well as we can, refine and learn lessons, and bank the experience for games later that we might stay in. Hey, maybe we can be mid-pack and not backmarker. Either way this will be a double-digit loss, so, no pressure.by Trotsky - Other Sports

billhoward RichH billhoward Providence last year, Bryant this year is tops in the region as a "regional university" which means they don't have to fight Harvard or MIT; they have their own ranking. But earlier you said Bentley. Yes, Bentley, No. 1. Bryant is No. 6 this year.

jtwcornell91 Trotsky jtwcornell91 I have to say, Dartmouth is the last Ivy whose students I'd expect to unionize.They have the most vocal douchebags, but those are an incel minority there as on every other campus.

Weder ugarte Chris H82 I live in Big Sky Conference land (Montana), so I've heard of Sacramento State. They are a good team. And Stanford is not supposed to be a good team this year, so it's not much of an upset.It is still a huge upset! "Bad for the Pac-12" should still blow the doors off of Sac State. Speaking of the Big Sky, gotta love that Portland State has both an 81-7 loss (toby Trotsky - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2023 - 9 days ago
Weder Trotsky No, what I mean is since when does a fair catch at the 4 come out to the 25? Also, that Contraception ad is great. I can't believe we finally learned how to do messaging after 40 years of utter incompetence. The fair catch rule has been in place for a while in college, and the NFL just adopted it this year. A fair catch anywhere inside the 25 on a kickoff is a touchback.Tellsby Trotsky - Other Sports

Al DeFlorio When the back who sets up nine yards from scrimmage runs Cornell gets nothing...same as last year. Run out of the shotgun.Luckily, the Lehigh offensive doctrine is to run directly into the largest pile of Cornell DLs they can find.by Trotsky - Other Sports

Total yards in Q1: 184-12. The only flaw is we have been penalty prone, otherwise a perfect quarter. Who are these guys?by Trotsky - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2023 - 9 days ago
TimV Good thought Greg. The font on the numerals goes back to the 80's, so different than last year's kit. Upper sleeve looks different, bot numerals on the shoulders instead of upper arm stops them from being throwbacks, I thinkI like them. They are delightfully primative.by Trotsky - Other Sports
