Re: Indoor sports facility announced - 3 days ago
upprdeck Turf fields also require a supply of the pellets to respread and a special spreading device, maybe not a special tractor though Cornell already possesses the equipment needed to refill and groom turf fields.by Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Indoor sports facility announced - 5 days ago
Swampy upprdeck the upkeep on turf fields is still there, just not the mowing. And the watering, fertilizing, etc, ? Yep, and re-seeding.by Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Indoor sports facility announced - 6 days ago
You can't utilize a grass field for a multitude of sports in the Ithaca climate, with the area's short growing season. A artificial field turf surface is the only practical way possible unless you want a mud bowl 6 months out of the year.by Ken711 - Other Sports

Down 3-0 to Penn already, bottom of the 3rd.by Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Baseball 2024 - 20 days ago
djk26 Cornell loses 11-9. I feel bad for these kids (all of them, on both teams) that they have to play another game today, they must be exhausted. Let's hope the bats stay hot for Cornell in the final game later today, because it seems clear that the pitching won't! Still don't understand why Cornell wasn't the home team.by Ken711 - Other Sports

Re: Indoor sports facility announced - 26 days ago
I saw in the planning documents going before the Ithaca Town Planning committee that Cornell will build the new field hockey field at the Game Farm road athletic complex, instead of next to the new fieldhouse. They will instead construct a multi-sports field next to the Meinig Fieldhouse. That will allow this multi-sport field to be used by other variety teams, as well as for recreational use.by Ken711 - Other Sports

Kirst, Long Named Inside Lacrosse All-Americans. ITHACA, N.Y. -- Senior attackmen CJ Kirst and Michael Long each found a spot on the 2024 Inside Lacrosse Media All-American list. Kirst repeated on the first team, matching his 2023 recognition, and Long earned his first Inside Lacrosse All-American nod as an honorable mention. Kirst and fellow attackman Long are the only two players in the nby Ken711 - Other Sports

scoop85 AJ Labeau, a 7-foot center from Idaho who redshirted at Washington State as a freshman preferred walk-on is transferring to Cornell. Out of HS he had D1 offers from Idaho State, Air Force, and Army. Always intriguing to get someone of that size on the roster, and perhaps he blossoms into a good Ivy League player. Certainly having more size up front is useful. Nice to have some size comiby Ken711 - Other Sports
President Pollack resigning - 4 weeks ago
At the request of the Board of Trustees, Kotlikoff will serve a two-year term as interim president; the board will form a search committee to select Cornell’s 15th president six to nine months before Kotlikoff’s term ends.by Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2024 - 4 weeks ago
mike1960 George64 Trotsky It's the Ivies. None of us have had a decent football team since the 60s. To me, decent means being competitive in the Ivy and Patriot Leagues. A low bar, to be sure. That's what I meant: competitive in the Ivy League, fun to watch, etc. That's what I hope to see. A better offense, and a defense that doesn't collapse late in the games, and less dumb penalites asby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Schoellkopf Field needs to be upgraded to Ivy standards. - 4 weeks ago
Local Motion It's been a fun year to follow Big Red athletics. Despite the loss to Penn this past Friday evening in the ILT, it was a nice crowd and beautiful evening for college lacrosse. One thing I noticed at halftime is the Penn lacrosse team used the south end-zone for their team meeting, which was not a good reflection on Cornell. I love ESPN + and ESPNU as it allows fans to follow theiby Ken711 - Other Sports

Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 4 weeks ago
This will be a much different and much younger team next year without seniors in Krist and Long, among the 22 seniors and 5th year players they lose. Other players are going to have to step up, and maybe some freshman can win starting roles.by Ken711 - Other Sports

Swampy Gosh, with 2 of our players drafted by the pros, it's remarkable that our record during their time here was so abysmal. Look no further than this. Head coach David Archer and OC Joe villapiano have yet to get new coaching roles elsewhere.by Ken711 - Other Sports

Both basketball coaches, for example, were hired late in the recruiting/portal process. Earl, for example, didn't start having winning seasons right away.
