12:30 pm kickoff.
Thanks, Rita. :-)
No Gametracker.
Harvard with the ball late in the first.
Harvard driving as the 2nd Q begins.
Harvard's Schindel a 42 yd FG on the first play of the 2Q.
Ooops... CU turnover on downs... two minutes later 24-10 H.
11 and change in the half.
Edit: Ooops... H personal foul on the PAT costs them. Cornell partial block and it's 23-10.
Darn people who don't reply correctly on threaded view... ;-)
Harvard announcer thought somebody got a hand on that kick.
Another 3 and out for Cornell. Not looking good on either O or D so far. ::uhoh::
Another Dawson TD. Marinaro's rushing lead gets a little slimmer.
::uhoh:: 25 yard CU loss on the QB reverse pass...
At 0-2 Ivy the season now enters the "play for pride" portion.
According to the Harvard announcers at least, the Crimson O-line dominated. I don't know whether Harvard is that good, or Cornell's D rating was illusory.
Let me see if I get this right - football, men's & women's soccer and field hockey all play Harvard and ALL LOSE ::twitch:: :-( Did I miss a sport?

Is starting salaries an Ivy Group sport? Oh, never mind.

Football at least managed to score.

Fall has traditionally been Cornell's weak season.
Soccer: Men - since the Ivy League began awarding titles in 1955, co-champs in 1974 and 1995, outright champions in 1977. Women - since 1978, two shared titles, 1987 and 1991.
Football: since 1956, 3 titles, all shared. 1971, 1988, 1990.
Field Hockey: since 1979, one title in 1991 in a 4-way tie
Volleyball: since 1977, five titles, four outright (1991, 1992, 1993, 2005) and a four-way tie in 2004.
Cross country: Despite recent success at indoor and outdoor track, cross country has not been a recent bright spot. Men won Heps titles in 1993, 1963, 1961, 1955, 1954, 1953, 1940, and a shared title in 1939. The women won in 1998, 1993, 1992, and 1991.
Looking back, 1991 was quite the year for fall sports. If only I could remember. . .
There was one great weekend in 1995 where soccer won the Ivies, football beat Columbia while Princeton was losing to Yale to pull CU and Princeton into a tie for first with one game to play, and Schafer achieved the first two of his goals (filling Lynah and beating Harvard).

1995 sticks out in my mind as the year football started 6-0 and ended 6-4. I can't find a football archive going back beyond 1999.

I think that was 1994, actually. It was one of the years all the games were on TV, and getting bumped off the TV by the asshole sports bartender in Santa Barbara was a weekly occurance for me. Cornell and Penn were both undefeated through the first six weeks of the season, but then we tanked, as you say.

I think you're right. I was thinking it was the year after I graduated (1994) and it was - but that would be the fall of the same year.

I'm quite positive that was the Fall of 1994. I spent that semester on co-op in PA, and CU beat Bucknell and Lehigh in dramatic fashion. When they made it to 6-0, there was quite a buzz...I believe the 7th game was televised. We lost to Brown, IIRC, and dropped the rest of them.
In 1995, I was doing my "Seniors on the Field" turn after Cornell finally beat Columbia when they announced the Princeton-Yale score. There was much rejoicing, but little did we know how good that night would be. That was a super weekend, as jtw said.
I hope Greg doesn't mind my doing this, but I remember seeing some football content on tbrw a few years ago:

It's all coming back. I have a hotelie friend that was working for Intercontinental and they were moving him around the globe to different hotels for about a month at a time. That fall he was in New York and living in their hotel on 48th St. His oversized room became Party Central. I recall room service brunch and watching the Brown game.

Yes, I hear that was quite a banquet at KDR. ::uptosomething::

I don't recall what year it was, but the four-game losing streak began the week after Hofher--petulant over the attention equally-undefeated Penn was getting--voted us #1 in the poll.

As you see, I maintain it meticuluously... ;-)
