where when exactly? what device? I've not seen anything like that.

Appleton in the 1990s is my favorite barn of all time, just ahead of Lynah, Gutterson Field House, Matthews Arena and the old Boston Garden. I don't know if Creeping Meatballism has destroyed it yet. I'm sure they are trying as fast as they can.

While Harvard vs. Yale were playing in a packed stadium in New Haven, this game may have drawn 1,000 fans at best. Schoellkopf Field has become a dump. Why would an 18-year old recruit want to play at Cornell, when they can play for Harvard or Yale? The offensive line can't block and the defense gave up one big play after another. I will never understand why Cornell can't hire a good football coach. In addition, despite the very small crowd at the game, the concession line was ridiculous and can someone at least clean the stadium bathrooms? All I wanted was a 50/50 coffee and hot chocolate, to keep warm and concessions ran out of hot chocolate. Pathetic, but no one cares at Cornell.No comment on Schoellkopf conditions but why even bring that up in the middle of complaining about the coach? Not really sure what you expected, in Swanstrom's first two seasons he has matched Archer's best seasons (3-4 in Ivy League), doing so mostly with Archer's recruits and this year without the star quarterback responsible for most of the past few seasons' success (however little of it there was). It's way too early to call Swanstrom "not exactly an upgrade" or "[not a] good football coach." I mean, the fact you're talking about how bad the stadium conditions are and how hard it is to recruit at Cornell undermine everything else you say about the coach being bad. Seems evident to me that Swanstrom has Cornell trending upward, and if he doesn't win it's going to be due to Cornell's structural disadvantages rather than Swanstrom being a bad coach. If you want real functioning toilets at Schoellkopf then I suggest endowing a bathroom rather than complaining about random stuff on an internet forum.

I heard someone who went to find out report they were told "it's senior night and they should be there by 7:30."
Historically, the pep band is made up almost entirely of students who are also in the marching band, and for the marching band their senior night is a pretty big deal. Pep band is an easy gig by comparison. Four years of being outdoors in the late fall ithaca weather for games and rehearsals both isn't easy.
Cut them some slack.
Quote from: dbilmes on November 22, 2025, 01:23:59 PMCornell lost a five-set heartbreaker to Yale in the semifinals Friday night,dropping the deciding set, 15-12.
Even so, it was a good season, and Cornell has made back-to-back trips to Ivy Tournament. The coach, Trudy Vande Berg, who has been here for 10 years, was awarded earlier this week with a multi-year contract extension.
Reading between the lines, it sounds like Nikki Morgan ordered her to shake up the program last year, so she replaced the entire coaching staff, and the recruiting and game performance has since been better.
