Football picked eighth in media poll

[Jim Hyla]

Two articles about CU in the Post-Standard. The first about Kent Austin starting, and the second about the three new high profile coaches.

That last article has an interesting quote about Tambroni's leaving.

"Jeff surprised me," Noel admitted. "He turned their job down twice. He stated to me clearly that he was going to stay. When the Brown coach (Lars Tiffany) turned them down, they came back to him a third time. He did say no twice."

With hard work and determination we might be able to make it to #124.

Cornell at #114 Bucknell tomorrow.

Other fun facts from the game notes: Cornell is on a 10 game losing streak, tied for the longest in the history of the program.

I work with a Bucknell alumnus who assures me we can't possibly be worse than they.

Hard to believe we are not 124th

Not many sports where we're currently 48 positions lower than Columbia.  

What does Kent Austin need to show he's a miracle worker? Maybe two good recruiting classes that are all his? I don't think the class of 2014 counts as all his. In fact, I'd like to see the Sun ask some of the players, "What made you choose Cornell when it didn't have a coach until late, late, late in the recruiting cycle?"

Hard to believe we are not 124th

How hard is it to believe? We are two games into the season and didn't even lose one of them that badly when we played the team ranked #49. I'm surprised we're ranked so low (already).

Bonni and I will be at the game in Lewisburg today.  Anybody there stop by; I'll be in the soul-destroyer shirt.  ::banana::

True they did play much better against Yale but they lost badly to #99 Wagner who got beat badly by a D2 school

That shirt just makes me SO happy, I've seen it in random pictures and now it's being used as an identifier.

Jumped to #110!  Suck it, Presbyterian, Campbell, and NC A&T!

Two points: First, 99 is not 120; we were beaten by a team that is actually better than us. Second, take a look at who is beneath us - even looking now doesn't mess this up too much - 5 of the bottom 11 schools are in the Pioneer conference. It takes a really awful team to be worse than the worst team in the Pioneer.

Well, Harvard is #33 and we are playing in Alston.  I guess we are probably looking at about a 14 point betting line.
