Re: Is this legit?? - 6 months ago
scoop85 George64 underskill Based on some of the graffiti on campus this week, the behavior of some professors and the admin in general, I sadly don’t think Cornell students can be dismissed as culprits. Which makes me ashamed as an alum. According to a NYT article, the offending professor requested a leave of absence. I hope it’s a long one.

Re: Cornell football 2023 - 7 months ago
billhoward Cornell-Penn football is an old tradition and I don't think they grease up anything for that weekend. Beating us so often while piling up championships we only dreamt of became so commonplace there was no longer any excitement for them. Maybe they greased some palms to get out of being our “traditional rival” so they could try to associate with the likes of Old Nassau for the final wby RichH - Other Sports

dbilmes scoop85 Great game story from the Daily Orange As a former sports editor of The Cornell Sun, it pains me to say this, but the quality of this story is better than any sports story I've seen in the Sun in years.
