Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 6 years ago
scoop85 mountainred There is a lot of a young talent on this team. Donville, Licciardi, Bardwell, Doria, Piatelli, and Tria are a great group of freshman. If there is a keeper below Knight, the lax team is building for a nice run in a year or two. Agreed, terrific Freshman class shaping up, and of course Teat is just a sophomore.

Re: Men's Basketball (2017-2018) - 6 years ago
scoop85 upprdeck too bad tey let that Yale game get away. Both that and the Harvard game. On the other hand, we probably had no business pulling out the Dartmouth or Princeton games, so it’s probably evened-out. I’d love to see us sneak in, but hard to see winning 2 on the road. Yeah not likely they sweep. Given their road record (3-10), it's much more likely they get swept and lose bothby Ken711 - Other Sports

Cornell needs to recruit a face-off specialist.by Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2017 - 6 years ago
billhoward Both Cornell's release and the Sun's story don't say how long the extension is for. Not sure how healthy a contract extension is if it's just for one year. But Cornell is on record saying there has been upward trajectory and believes it can continue. Not easy to write a fulfilling press release when the 5-year record is 12-38. Let's hope for better times. On this forum I have heardby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2017 - 6 years ago
CAS The Daily Sun story on the extension adds that Archer is 12-38 overall, & his 3-7 record last year is the same record as Archer’s first season. We'll see how well this extension plays if Cornell can't win more than 3 Ivy games next season. I don't think they care about non-league games.by Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2017 - 6 years ago
ITHACA, N.Y. – David Archer '05, the Roger J. Weiss '61 Head Coach of Cornell Football, has signed a contract extension with additional performance-based incentives to remain at his alma mater. "I am enthusiastic that Coach Archer will continue to lead our football program into the future," said Andy Noel, the Meakem*Smith Director of Athletics and Physical Education.

Re: Men's Basketball (2017-2018) - 6 years ago
semsox Just reading the last few posts, it makes me so mad that this program squandered what it had built with the 2008-2010 run. Yes, Donahue left right after, but to see the momentum from that just turn to nothing in like two years is so, so frustrating. Andy picking the wrong coach for the job in replacing Donahue sure didn't help.by Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Bill Lazor- Coaching in NFL - Rahne - 6 years ago
billhoward TimV No better place to put this, but Ricky Rahne getting a lot of nice comments as offensive coordinator of Penn State from Fiesta Bowl Announcers. Story about him here. Indeed, a lot of shoutouts and shots of him up in the press box. It gets you thinking, What about the head job at Cornell? Odds are it would be step downward financially.

Re: Cornell football 2017 - Cornell coach - 6 years ago
Al DeFlorio billhoward For all the displeasure expressed here with the football coach, there has been no parting of ways with Jeff Archer. Usually that happens as soon as the season ends. So, to paraphrase Richard Nixon, we'll have Jeff Archer to kick around some more. Maybe he'll do better as Jeff than he did as David. It's a low bar that you need to meet to be the Cornell head football coach.by Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2017 - 6 years ago
ugarte CU2007 Ken711 Cornell is playing at Delaware again in 2018. What kind of dumb scheduling is that. Chalk up another loss in that game. Aren't the schedules made years in advance? I honestly don't know about Cornell, but the big time schools have already announced games 20 years in the future. Syracuse and Notre Dame will be playing in 2038 FYI. I think he means "scheduling a road aby Ken711 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell football 2017 - @ Penn - 6 years ago
CU2007 TimV Don't know why Archer chooses to accept a penalty that gives the offense (that has shredded him all day) an extra down that leads to the TD that beats him- then runs the ball with 17 seconds left and no TOs ensuring only one more chance to score. Jeez. This. Both of these were unbelievably stupid decisions. Truly mind boggling at the D1 level. Cornell always seems to make one headby Ken711 - Other Sports

mountainred Troubling loss at UMass-Lowell 98-78. 22 Cornell turnovers. 25 UML second chance points and 52 UML points in the paint. Ugh. Earl needs to bring in a good sized center in his next recruiting class.by Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2017 - coaching realignment - 6 years ago
billhoward If Jeff Archer's tenure is in question in the world of football, not just here, then it has to be clarified soon so recruiting doesn't suffer. A HS senior player choosing among Cornell, Lehigh, Penn would like to know who's going to be head coach. Not that players are the last word, but I'm curious how they feel about Archer as a coach. Good story for the Daily Sun to track. I'm sureby Ken711 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell football 2017 - 6 years ago
For all those interested. The Cornell administration either has to get serious and support this team sport or just drop it. Columbia finally came to their senses and brought in an outside consultant to do a top to bottom review on what needed to be done to field a highly competitive team. I don't see why not Cornell can't do the same.by Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2017 - 6 years ago
Trotsky CAS Archer’s career win percentage as head coach is actually .245 (12-37).What is Cornell's winning percentage for the last 50 years? I would not be surprised if it was under .400. Nope. 130 years of Cornell football total win-loss record 646–522–33 (.552)by Ken711 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell football 2017 - 6 years ago
TimV Got a touchdown in garbage time. Remember that old hockey cheer? "IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER!" I think they might have set a record for most penalties in one possession on that first drive of the game. Zero discipline. Garbage TD but effectively shutout at home when it counted. This team will end up 3-7, FIRE ARCHER!!!by Ken711 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell football 2017 - 6 years ago
scoop85 ugarte Ken711 Will Cornell win another game that is question.They gave up 10 points. The fatalism here is crazy. This has been a good year. We’re certainly more competitive, and the improvement on defense has been encouraging. The past few years our defense was blown off the ball, and that’s not happening anymore. 4-6 last year. Would you consider a possible 3-7 record an improvementby Ken711 - Other Sports
