Cornell football 2015...

[Trotsky]

...picked to finish last in the Ivies, in a just released media poll.  Columbia, which has lost its last 21 games but has a new head coach, is picked ahead of us.

I like how they put it on the Athletics webpage:  "picked to finish eighth."  Spin doctors at work.  ::wank::

Well, they are top ten.

And #2 in all of New York.

Wait... what about "New York's College Team?" ::nut::

[rss77]

Hey they're in good company.  They're picked last in ACC ::bang::

Ivy predictions in the Boston Globe this morning:  Harvard, Dartmouth, and Yale at the top...Columbia, Penn, and guess-who at the bottom--in that order.

Where's Princeton?  Cornell is a better running team this season, unfortunately outside of maybe Columbia, all the other Ivy teams are still stronger.

By process of elimination, they're either fourth or fifth, along with Brown.  I don't remember the order.  Does it matter?

And I'm pissed some guy named DeFloria caught the miracle touchdown pass for Bucknell.

Defensive backs played way too soft all afternoon.  There were a couple of good passes deflected when they managed to arrive on time, but in general the DBs were 7-10 yards off the wideouts.  On that catch, Al, they actually tackled him INTO the endzone.  Shoulda been stopped at the one yard line.  2 stupid penalties kept drives going, an off sides on a punt and a defensive hold. Sonnenborn looked pretty good at QB though.

[CAS]

Columbia's starting QB, a transfer from the University of Florida, completed 21 of 25 passes against a good Fordham team.  I still don't understand why Cornell, a school with many transfers, never seems to have an impact transfer on the football team.

ILDN lists today's Ivy opener at Yale beginning @ 12:30.  The highlights from last week came across well.

[Trotsky]

Gorgeous first drive, 6 minutes and 9 plays culminating in a 7 yard pass Somborn to Gallo.  6-0, 9:21 to go in the 1Q.

[Trotsky]

TD on the second long Cornell drive as well, but the kick fails again.  12-0 early in the 2Q.

[scoop85]

12-7. Good performance so far, but they have to fix the kicking game fast

[Trotsky]

Really enjoying the way Hagy keeps the play alive for the extra 2 or 3 yards on pretty much every carry.

[Trotsky]

Wow, pretty pass to Shaw.  3 TDs on 3 drives and a 19-7 lead.
