Cornell beating Bucknell in football

[Jim Hyla]

Strange game.  Time of possession:  40 minutes for Bucknell, 20 minutes for Cornell.  Key stat was 6 turnovers for Bucknell, 0 for Cornell.  Yale crunched Colgate today.  Next week's a reality check.

At least the video should be nice.

I didn't watch the game but I just looked at the box score and it seems similar to past problems.  Cornell had 17 total net rushing yards while giving up 230.  Nine penalties for 70 yards.

I suppose we could follow the game on livestats...oh, wait, that doesn't work, either.

Wouldn't it have made sense to test this whole business with a lesser Cornell sport before today?

Is there a lesser Cornell sport than football?

(OK, it's an unnecessary cheap shot after a big win, but still, someone had to say it.)

Can't agree with the above statement, with an attendance of over 15,000 reported at Homecoming.  Hopefully Dave Archer's youthful enthusiasm will translate into more wins.

I said something similarly snarky last year and was (immediately and justifiably) reminded that football still outdraws hockey in alumni gifts by a huge amount.

Anyway, I am sure we all agree they should do a better job supporting the streaming product, regardless of the sport.  The fact that many other schools with fewer resources, a lower national profile, and less investment in their technical programs destroy us in the quality of their streaming services is a brutal embarrassment.

Based on what I could tell from the video, there were a lot closer to 1,500 who stayed past halftime. The Homecoming attendance number is always huge, but the number of people in that crowd actually interested in the game is much smaller. If Cornell can average 7,000 or so a game, I'd consider that pretty good.

As a Jets fan, I can state with some authority that there are some loyalties that are simply unexplainable from any rational standpoint.

I do wonder how many of the homecoming attendees are there for the football, versus those there because it's homecoming, and "Homecoming!" and booze and reliving old memories on the hill and whatnot, without all the bother of Reunion. I suspect a lot of half-hearted hockey fans do the same thing for the Harvard game.

From the webcast (the part I could see anyway) it looked like an impressively large crowd to start the game, so I'm not surprised by the 15,000 announced crowd.

This.

But then, what the hell else is there to do in Troy?

Yeah. I hear Pierre and Murphy hated the place.
