Penn looks awful Cornell should win this game easily if they don't make more dumb calls like the goal line sweep call.by Ken711 - Other Sports

Meanwhile Harvard signs their SECOND 4 star recruit. Chris Ledlum is ranked as the No. 105 prospect in the 247Sports Composite Rankings. This gives Harvard their second four-star prospect in the 2019 recruiting class. Harvard's class currently ranks No. 22 overall in the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Re: Cornell football 2018 - 5 years ago
Swampy Ken711 CAS More boys aged 14-17 are still playing football than any other sport. The Ivies will continue to play football. The question is are we satisfied with winning 25% of our games, or do we want to be competitive. I care more about hockey & lacrosse than football, but we should at least be competitive in all the higher profile sports. We don’t need to worry about wrestling haby Ken711 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell football 2018 @ Princeton L66-0 - 5 years ago
toddlose Look at the bright side, over the last 2 games with Princeton, we have split with them. How about this for a "bright side", over the last 3 games with Princeton, Cornell has been outscored 150 to 36. FIRE ARCHER!by Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2018 - 5 years ago
Al DeFlorio Note that Harvard, beaten by Cornell a month ago, played the other unbeaten, dominant Ivy team, Dartmouth, to a 24-17 score (not 66-0), putting up 50 yards more total offense. Keystone Cops today, indeed. That's because good coaches make adjustments to other teams as the season progresses.

42-0 Princeton in the 2nd Qt. Archer facing his normal late season meltdown leading this team.by Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2018 - 5 years ago
Al DeFlorio Looking like the Keystone Cops today. Did you expect them to win? Cornell is not on the same level as Princeton or Dartmouth. 35-0 Princeton already. This was expected to be a blow-out. As I posted above: at Brown - They had better win at Princeton - No chance Penn - Good chance Dartmouth - Doubtful at Columbia - Winnableby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2018 @ Colgate L31-0 - 5 years ago
billhoward Ken711 billhoward It's on to Providence. Brown has only a win over Georgetown so far, was blanked by Rhode Island 48-0 in the Newport Mansions Cup (I'm sure it has a name), and is being pounded by Princeton 35-3 today. If Cornell loses to Brown, Archer should be fired at the end of the season. Have you given up on the idea of summary execution? You're a softie. Summary firing soundsby Ken711 - Other Sports

Re: Yale over Cornell 30-24 - 5 years ago
ugarte The roughing call is the only thing I didn't like in this game. We were supposed to get rolled and didn't. We've played two games that were supposed to be blowouts and have looked credible, even in losses. It's an improvement. I have low expectations for football so this is good to me. A win here would have been amazing, and it hurts that we came close and failed, but I'm still happy withby Ken711 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell football 2018 - Delaware 27-10 - 5 years ago
scoop85 CU2007 Did anyone watch the game on ESPN+? Or has anyone watched any Ivy game on ESPN+ for that matter. Wondering if there was an improvement, regression, or “about the same” versus ILDN broadcasting a similar game last season. It was an away non-league game, and was not on ESPN+. I watched some of it on Delaware's Youtube channel Yep, I also watched it on the YouTube channel.by Ken711 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell football 2018 - sad commentary - 5 years ago
billhoward The season opens tomorrow. There hasn't been a football post here since Aug. 21. In comparison, there's been a bunch on lacrosse and even a half-dozen on polo (horse, not water). Good luck, Cornell. I might even go down to Delaware to watch, assuming seats are still available. 3:30 p.m. at Tubby Raymond Field. I don't think an Ivy school would allow such name. Have to be T.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
Chuck Henderson Ierlan won 79.1% of face-offs in 2018, the greatest single season in NCAA lacrosse history. Greatest season since what year? Memory can be tricky, but I think Bruce Pfann ('59) probably had a higher percent. There were games when he didn't lose a single faceoff. I remember such a game when Cornell beat Syracuse pretty handily, but that was shortly after Jim Brown graduated (he tby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2017 - 5 years ago
CAS Dartmouth just got a QB transferring from the University of Florida, who was ranked the 23rd top pro style QB in his HS class. He is immediately eligible to play. Why does Cornell football never get any impact transfers, despite the university enrolling many transfers students? Penn and Harvard have had huge success with transfers.by Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 5 years ago
Swampy A few more comments. Teat is the best passer I've ever seen. But he's not particularly great as a dodger and not exceptionally fast. (Watch videos of him running after an opponent who's running to clear the ball.) Also compare Rob Pannell's physique (5'9", 190lb) with Jeff Teat's (5'10", 165lb). Rob is an incredible dodger, partly because he's built low to the ground, with a lby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 5 years ago
dbilmes This article in Inside Lacrosse gives Milliman a lot of credit for the victory. "Cornell advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals — the first time since 2013 — because it outplayed and outcoached Syracuse at its own game." While the ESPN broadcast crew did an adequate job overall with their in-game analysis, I don't recall hearing them talk much about Milliman's "interim" stby Ken711 - Other Sports
