Men's Lightweight Rowing?

Not sure if it's correct but

QuoteEdmund Ezra Day was the last president to live in the A.D. White House on central campus. For his successor, Deane Malott, the university rented, renovated, and eventually purchased 205 Oak Hill Road. He was given this house for life as a retirement gift, and the university purchased the 511 Cayuga Heights Road property in 1963 for James Perkins—one theory being that this property was farther away from campus and therefore more difficult for students to stage protests at.

Dale Corson chose not to move in after Perkins' resignation, so Cornell sold it. They purchased 603 Cayuga Heights Road for Frank Rhodes, which too became a retirement gift. With a "special" alumni gift, the university then re-purchased Robin Hill for Hunter Rawlings in 1995, after which Lehman, Skorton, and Pollock also took residence.

Yale keeping things interesting.

Quote from: arugulaThis is impressive.   Is Yale bad?  I'm guessing no.

They were the preseason favorite. No. 2 Harvard lost to Brown today.

Quote from: billhowardIt may be a measure of confidence in the new regime of coach and athletic director that Cornell's 7th place pick is not a tie for 7th, but 7th outright.

I'm still amazed that during the Archer era Cornell never finished dead last, untied, in 8th place.

Princeton beat top seed Columbia 16-6 in the losers' bracket. We need to take one of two from the winner of today's Penn-Princeton game.

Anyone know how home/away works in this tournament? Up until now I assume the higher seed was the home team. Tomorrow Cornell could be higher or lower. Seems like Cornell should be the home team by being the only undefeated thus far.

Typically Cornell would be home as the winners of the winners bracket.

That's what I assumed until I just looked at last years tournament. Penn was the 1 seed and won their first two games. They were the away team against #3 Princeton in the next game and won. Maybe they do that so if there is a second game the higher seed is the home team in that one rather than both (or being the away team in the second game). That makes sense to me right now but I'm also jet lagged so who knows.

Quote from: nyc94That said, hard to believe they couldn't fix a dirt mound overnight.

i don't think the problem was fixing the dirt. it sounds like something got under the turf and made the surface uneven/dangerous for the pitcher. the players probably pointed out out.

The few things I read online said the mound was turf. I was just speculating because Al said it looked like dirt in other pictures online. I don't think Columbia has updated the stadium page on their website in years.

It does look like dirt. And Columbia's page for the stadium says it is. "The surface is a hybrid fiber, rubber and sand infill blend designed to have a more consistent feel. It covers both the infield and outfield, with the only dirt covering the mound and home plate."

That said, hard to believe they couldn't fix a dirt mound overnight.

On the other hand, Cornell's press release also says turf:
"Due to an issue with the turf pitching mound at Columbia University's Robertson Field at Satow Stadium..."

Coach Boretti's baseball camp website says turf:
"A locker room upgrade was completed in the spring of 2019 and turf mounds were installed on the field and bullpens during an upgrade later that summer."

Quote from: TrotskyDid they get atrocious weather or was this an Alameda Coliseum "septic tanks back up onto field" thing?

Apparently the mound is artificial turf and that's where the problem is. I didn't know that was a thing.

"Columbia head coach Brett Boretti was down on his hands and knees pushing pellets around, trying to smooth the surface beneath the top layer of field turf on the Satow Stadium pitcher's mound."

Quote from: dag14Game start pushed back to 3:25 EDT

Ivy League site says postponed until tomorrow "due to a field maintenance issue on the mound."

Brown 44 Princeton 31 at the half.

Brown 90 Princeton 81 Final

Quote from: upprdeckPrin 2-0 vs brown takes the Ivy even if they lose

They would get the #1 seed but the Ivy title is still shared, right?

Quote from: CU2007What is the tiebreaker if we beat Yale at home and finish with the same record?
