Cornell at Duluth (10.28 and 10.29)

[BearLover]

Yale, Brown, Princeton, Harvard, and Dartmouth all
played an Ivy opponent to open the season. Only Cornell played a non-Ivy game.

True, but Cornell got the bonding experience of a long road trip, which none of the other Ivy teams did.

just comparing some sports

football starts in aug and plays sept - dec playing 12-15 games  so 6-7 months

hockey starts in oct and plays thru march for the most part. playing 30+ for 6 months

Basketball starts in Oct and plays Nov thru March playing 30+ games for 6 months
 
baseball plays in the fall a few games but ramps up for real feb and plays feb thru june and plays 50-60 games for 5 months beyond the end of mosy school years.

What  about crew, track, swimming, tennis etc?

Maybe propensity for thread drift could be used to evaluate alternatives.

Cornell's 1st 2 games vs. MD's 7th and 8th.  I know, UND situation was same last year.  Still, 6 more games means mid-season form for them, just out of the gate for us.

Cornell had played 13 games before UND.

Guess I was righter than I thought but for the wrong reason.
