I'm begging you to stop thinking that there's juice to be squeezed here

Quote from: BearLover on October 13, 2026, 02:12:35 PMCornell banned frat parties for the remainder of the year. Could this help hockey attendance?

spectacularly on brand but an excellent question all the same

Quote from: The Rancor on October 12, 2026, 01:39:31 PMSo they were taking summer intensives for the past few years to prepare to graduate early as a result of going pro?

I believe it is common practice for athletes to take classes over the summer. I think Stanley and Castagna finished up their degrees this past summer after going pro. Castagna was quoted saying he planned to return for his senior year before he was traded to the Flames.

agreed this is likely - take classes over the summer (at home, if they'll transfer) so you don't need to carry 15 a semester while shouldering the team commitment and you still graduate in four years.

Quote from: rss77 on October 11, 2026, 05:43:39 PMFrom my vantage point at the game I want state the obvious-that Cornell was outclassed athletically. Harvard has the talent to compete in the lower reaches of Group of 6 FBS schools IMO. Cornell's top receivers Musungu and Kurtz were rarely open for example. Overall I like the coaching and the overall improvement of the team but like yesterday sometimes you face a team that is just better. 

THANK YOU

#18 Harvard beat #22 Colgate last week; that same Colgate team beat us very badly. We scored 29 points against the Crimson; they hadn't given up more than 17 in its first three games. I won't say that our defense played well - they were overmatched - but they had their moments early in the game. We are not a team that should be expected to hang wiith a ranked FCS opponent.

We were expected to lose to Harvard very badly, and we did. Why this would cause any rending of garments is a mystery to me. We were also expected to get blown out by Yale and did not. Obviously, Yale was hampered by the Reno injury but even with a backup QB they'd have been a huge favorite. We didn't just win; we won comfortably (before hammering Georgetown.) The pre-Swanstrom program was terrible. it is no longer terrible. It is not *good* yet but it is definitely looking better than at any time since under Knowles.

Up next is 6-0 #5 Lehigh. They are very likely to beat the brakes off of us. I strongly suggest not "learning" anything from that. The story of this team will be told against the rest of our league schedule. If we go 5-2, it will be our first time doing that well in-conference since 2000. Keep your expectations suitably low.

I'll have to watch the highlights but Cornell went down 2-0 to Penn in the first half before outscoring the Quakers 5-1 in the second half.

Quote from: chimpfood on October 07, 2026, 01:43:00 PMWe've been without our two best players, Kolbl and Miller, for a while now, creating a big time gap in the midfield which is supposed to be our strong point. We need to keep treading water without them and get them back for the playoffs.

schaban has been nails

yeah but he would be playing if both of them were healthy, just on the wing. I'm surprised we haven't seen Omar Bolanos yet. He plays a 6 for the Guatemala u19 team and got solid minutes for Houston dynamo 2, but hasn't seen the field even with the injuries.

i didn't mean to suggest that schaban was filling in, i meant that he's been keeping us afloat while waiting for his teammates to return. i don't know anything about bolanos (or if he's nursing an injury).

oh lol

Cornell tied UMass 1-1 at home in a game stopped after ~74 minutes due to lightning. The game report on the CU site is pretty clear that Cornell controlled the game, with UMass's early goal coming against the run of play and their goalie standing on his head to keep the score level after we tied it up.

Penn comes to town on Saturday. Big game for Ivy seeding and shoring up the postseason resume.

Soccer RPI volatility is wild. We're back up at 15. Penn is at 28, Princeton 23. Dartmouth stunned Princeton at home and sits in the 50s despite a 3-4-2 record due to the 11th toughest SOS.

Harvard beat Colgate yesterday on a hail mary with a lateral. incredible play.

Quote from: dbilmes on October 03, 2026, 07:35:01 PMCornell scored two second-half goals to rally for a 2-1 win at Brown. I wasn't watching the game, but Brown's goal came early in the first half on a penalty kick after the Cornell goalie was issued a yellow card. I may go back to watch the replay of the game just to see what happened. ...

I went to the replay. Excellent through ball to give the Brown player a free run into the box. Goalie came out to cut him off, dove at the ball but got his foot instead and tripped him. Legit yellow and PK.

Cornell's first goal arguably had a player offside who interfered with Brown goalie. He was obviously offside but after review they must have ruled that he didn't affect play. Second goal was a nice sideline run to near the goal line from Momanyi, who then made a nice pass back upfield to the center of the box and Schaban hit a perfect volley.

Quote from: JasonN95 on October 03, 2026, 04:22:16 PMUgarte, thanks for the running game diary; I wasn't able to watch or follow the score so this was a recap.

thanks. it's a compulsion and a curse.

Not much action for Page as he hands off twice before Cornell switches to victory formation to run out the clock.

35-14 Final.

G'town's best player was RB Clay Ash, who headed to DC after a couple of years as a walk-on at West Virginia.
