Title: FOOTBALL: Cornell 34 Columbia 14 (final)
Post by: Trotsky on November 10, 2007, 01:08:40 PM
Kilcoyne returns the opening kickoff 94 years and Zell hits his 50th straight PAT.  7-0 Red.

Nice start in the battle for the cellar.

Cornell blocks a field goal.  The Lions' unis are whiter than usual, making them look like the full-body underwear in a Chaplin Yukon movie.

Nice TD run by Liuzza!

14-zip with the kick.

Liuzza brings back memories of single-wing tailbacks from the 50s and early 60s.  What goes around comes around.

Walters 81 punt return for TD, 21-0.  Yikes.

They still look better than the (almost) all yellow uniforms that West Virginia wore on Thursday night and that the Univ. of Oregon has worn in the recent past as part of their 301(?) possible uniform combinations courtesy of Nike. ::barf::

Nice job by Liuzza there, taking a broken play and not panicking.  Maybe he can transfer to Notre Dame...

Game started with Liuzza and Ganter alternating, but it's been all Liuzza since.  Liuzza runs like Gary Wood.

Liuzza another nice scamper: 31-7.

Harvard up 17-7 on Penn mid fourth
Yale up 10-3 on Princeton end of the third

For anyone that cares this could set up a Harvard - Yale game with actual meaning: two 6-0 teams for the Ivy title.

Instead it will be for bragging rights amongst the octogenarians in the crowd.

Great.  Now the CU announcers call out Weis.  My day is complete.

Irish back to 10-10.  I guess Charlie can stay.

From the box score: Attendance 3369. That's about what Cornell drew at Yale in hockey Friday (well, official attendance).

Okay, it was 40, overcast, with showers.

And it felt much colder than that, as it usually does up in the Crescent.
