Cornell Football -- The Future Starts Now

[CAS]

Don't know why, with an excellent coach and competitive financial aid, we can't win in football.  We're been very successful in lacrosse, wrestling, hockey, and now basketball.  Sure it will take a few recruiting classes, but think Big Red football under Coach Austin will be back. And it will be fun to watch.

It sounds as though Austin is getting his message across.  

I didn't want to go to a program already at the top. I wanted to be a part of a program building something with a sense of direction.

Over in Cambridge, the hockey coach gave the Crimson a sense of direction, and in only a few short years.

We like THAT direction.

Does it count as "back" when we've been so rarely "been"?  

There certainly seems to be more energy surrounding football now than in the past.

Of course.

Anyone know when spring practice begins and the date of the spring game?

Not going to be one this year. So many players have quit (17 at last count)since the end of last season not enough bodies.

Someone was saying on the football board that there wont be one, too many players have quit, did they get cut or quit?

If players quitting means they are putting together a team that wants to work hard to win, then go for it. SU lost a lot of players when their new coach came. The talk was that the former coach was so easy the players got lazy, those that didn't want to work, left. Seems to be working out here.

Thanks for the info on the spring game.  I expect a lot of the incoming freshman in the latest recruiting class will have an opportunity for more playing time.

At the end of last season Austin said something along the lines of, "now we're going to find out who wants to be a football player," indicating an off-season commitment, particularly in the weight room....I guess we're finding out....

Rumors of the Spring Game's demise are premature apparently.

The Annual Spring Football Game is scheduled for Saturday, April 30 at 3 p.m. at Schoellkopf Field.

With the Cornell website mentioning the return of 42 lettermen, and over 75 players on the spring roster I see no signs of players quitting the program
