Sounds like Yale's coach was impressed by Brian Ostrowsky.

[Tim, note that the "dreaded prevent defense" even got a mention.**]]

Wow, that second story was cold...

Yale ran up a big score on Georgetown last week, didn't seem to remember that we're not Georgetown.

Indeed. The kind of writing you see reserved for an NFL flop team. Not that a hometown paper has to be boosterish, but seldom do you see them that criticial. I believe two stories were datelined from Ithaca, and maybe they were annoyed at spending so much travel money (newspapers are cheap when it comes to T&E) on a losing team.

FWIW, owing to depressed media property prices, there was an estimate that you could buy the entire New Haven Register operation for something under $1 million in term of its market cap. A mediocre newspaper could return 20%. Not any more.

Memo to Cornell Daily Sun writers: pay attention to duplicate numbers.

81 is Horatio Blackman.
26 is Andy Wade.

If you're talking about not getting IDs right, it's Cornell's fault, too, for not having numbers on the sleeves, shoulder pads, or helmets. I shot some photos from the stands and couldn't ID players in about a third of the photos because the front or back was obscured.
