Title: Cornell Basketball Player's Passport Stolen on Eve of Trip to France
Post by: CornellFan on May 21, 2007, 08:26:16 AM
Along with other objects of value, the travel passport of Cornell guard, Geoff Reeves (6'5" Soph) were stolen from the team's locker room on Saturday evening. The loss of the passport comes in advance of the team's scheduled departure this coming Wednesday for a 10-day trip to France. A cash reward for the return of the passport is being offered by the Cornell Athletics Department. If you have information on the whereabouts of the passport or other stolen objects, Cornell is asking that you please contact assistant coach Zach Spiker at (607) 342-1565 or by e-mail at zjs4@cornell.edu.

Title: SOME NEWS FROM FRANCE
Post by: CornellFan on May 24, 2007, 10:43:20 AM
Hey guys, the basketball team is now in France and I have some reports in my blog.  See link below.  Apparently, only 8 players are healthy and available for the games.

I feel bad for the team, they've had a rough stretch over the last couple of weeks with the burglary and now eligibility and health concerns.

Wish we could go check out a game since we're also in France at the moment, it's just not the right places or times.

They might ask you to suit-up, if you did.

Surely there's a joke in here somewhere about lemmings and jumping...

Cornell athletics has set up a daily blog and diary for the men's basketball trip to France.  Cornell has also prepared a nice media guide just for the tour.

I provide links and summary on my blog.

... or about the team's cache of soap, stolen from the locker room, that they were bringing to France.
