Very nice piece today by 1968 BC alum Bob Ryan in the Boston Globe on Dryden and Princeton basketball great Bill Bradley.  Refers to the 2009 symposium at Cornell that Jeremy Schaap hosted with the two of them.  Behind a paywall, unfortunately, but I was able to read it in print.

Dartmouth consistently converts on third and fourth downs.  Cornell does not.  Difference in the game.

Where are McAuliffe and Carothers?

Wasted two plays and 30 seconds before finally throwing downfield to Kurtz.

3-1 Princeton with 35 minutes to go

Quote from: pjd8 on November 11, 2025, 10:24:12 PMA game with 13 Ferguson points and 10 Murray points is a different league entirely.

Oh, but to have Death on our team again. Hockey players have the best names.

Pronounced "Deeth."  Went on to stay locally as, what Arthur, a dentist?  Doctor?

Later added an 'e' at the end of his name to encourage correct pronunciation.

Truly stupid play-calling and time-out calling inside the 10.

A 3rd down stop would be nice.

Quote from: Trotsky on November 07, 2025, 08:09:30 PMGood game so far.  I love how we are pushing it up out of our D zone so quickly.  That's been a real wet blanket for years.

Wider ice at Bright helps the breakout.

Red started down 3-12, came back to tie at 55 but late 3-pointer gave Kent State 58-55 lead at the half.

Quote from: Al DeFlorio on October 25, 2025, 03:06:26 PMWe must have a QB who can hit an open receiver.

The season was sort of lost the moment their best offensive weapon Sam Musungu was declared out for the season with an offseason knee injury. I'd like to see the freshman QB get some reps.  Must as well build towards next season.

Right.  Took five weeks to find two backs who can run the ball.  Now give them one QB who can pass it.

Big plus to have a QB who can lead a receiver.  3rd and long is no big deal.  All but impossible for Cornell at 3rd and 7.

We must have a QB who can hit an open receiver.

Postings on FanLax fall scrimmages thread say MD scrimmage was 6-6 at half and 11-9 MD after three.  Perfetto, then Nurry at attack with Goldstein and Firth.  Waldman, Robinson and Luzzi 1st middies.  Nikolic apparently out.

Quote from: scoop85 on October 25, 2025, 02:19:10 PMI'm astounded at how often football coaches can't see what's in front of them.

a) Fog of war.
b) Duffy Daugherty, Michigan State coach circa the Marinaro era (paraphrasing): "Monday morning, anyone can tell me the right play to run. On Saturday afternoon, coaches have 25 seconds." He also had a bunch of Yoga Berra-isms led by, "My only feeling about superstition is that it's unlucky to be behind at the end of the game."

Swanstrom had a Brown time-out to think about it.  And think about whether his QB can feather a pass over a defender to his receiver.
