Chris '03 Not worth a new thread but former Cornellian Jalyx Hunt was drafted in the third round tonight. He finished his career with two years at... Houston Christian. As was C Hunter Nourzad, in the fifth round. Transferred to Penn State as a graduate for his last two years of eligiblity.by tycho - Other Sports

Wow. Really should've set a reminder and a block of time for this one. A 30-5 run is remarkable. I'm going to have to go back and watch in full. Will next have a chance to avenge men's hockey in Hanover Friday night.by tycho - Other Sports
Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 4 months ago
RMU 44.4% on 3-pointers, and rebounds abounded. Seemed like it was higher than that, and I think it was for a while. Remarkable that the Big Red found themselves down by only five at the half, the way the momentum felt in the first half. RMU was absolutely abysmal from the line, and it cost them badly. A small, but vocal, Cornell contingent I'm pleased to report.by tycho - Other Sports
Re: New Cornell football coach search - 5 months ago
dbilmes That didn't take long! They must have had in mind for a while. Have to move quickly, so as to minimize disruption to recruiting. But Swanstrom's a natural fit. I expect the interest was mutual right off the bat. Edit: Football Scoop reports that Yale co-DC Jay Anderson was a finalist as well.by tycho - Other Sports
Re: Dan Swanstrom new Cornell head football coach - 5 months ago
A familiar name, and a great hire in my lay opinion. Ken711 called it. Looking forward to seeing how Mr. Swanstrom and the program follow through. rss77 Was told that Cornell is going to be pouring in more resources into football but have no idea what that entails. I am hopeful that this is more than greasing up the donor works in tandem with bringing in a new coach. But no doubt there willby tycho - Other Sports

Trotsky I'd like to think he was offered a position with the university. He couldn't cut it as the HC but as someone said above he bleeds Carnellian and white, and that's worth something to me. +2.

Re: Cornell football 2023 - 6 months ago
What a good story it would have been had Archer been the one to restore the Cornell football program to something resembling respectibility. But it was not to be, and practicality must take the place of sentimentality (to the extent any such thing exists as far as Archer is concerned). And practicality tells us that it's time for Cornell and for Archer to move on. I wish him well, but he is a faiby tycho - Other Sports

tycho arugula Dartmouth is a great story. Certainly is. Good for them. Thrilling finish to the Ivy League football season, a finish with which the Big Red of course had nothing to do. Though, as I type that, Cornell's thrilling early road upset against Y mattered in the end... maybe that'll be the PR headline tomorrow... Big Red leads League from behind, helps determine split title.by tycho - Other Sports

arugula CAS Yards in 1st half - Columbia 298, Cornell 75. Is Cornell playing the Georgia Bulldogs? H-Y or Y-H in my house is a great game. If Y holds on, the League title splits three ways. Dartmouth up huge on Brown late, 38-13.by tycho - Other Sports

Re: Cornell football coach - 6 months ago
Archer generally doesn't stir the pot, and I think that's why he sticks around. He's the poster child of the administration's disinterest in football. Seems to me the bigwigs over Nicki Moore are perfectly content to keep him on.by tycho - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2023 - 6 months ago
Local Motion Penn dominated Cornell with their running game. I think their freshman RB had something like 260 rushing? I am not sure if I read that yet. That is correct. Of course, 164 of those yards came on a combined two scoring plays, of 68 and 96 yards, respectively.by tycho - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2023 - 6 months ago
Ken711 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 theby tycho - Other Sports

Two teams (Dartmouth, Princeton) at 3-2 in the Ivies, four(!) at 2-2 (Penn, Cornell, Brown, Yale). Harvard at 3-1 and struggling Columbia at 0-4. Big game for Cornell tomorrow.

Chris '03 The stadium facility needs help. But putting bleachers in the end zones isn't making or breaking whether a kid goes to Dartmouth or Cornell. Yes, hence the last sentence of my prior.

When those kids walk into Schoellkopf today and then visit Princeton, Harvard, or even Dartmouth we are probably going to lose.
