That crowd looks more like graduation to me.  It's hard to picture the crescent filled for a football game.
Looks like about 23,000 to me:

Ugarte, I assume you mean Archer.  Austin went 9-11 in the 2 years preceding Archer being named head coach. Our record is 5-25 under Archer.

Aye, I did.

Cornell couldn't afford Lazor when the search for Austin's successor was ongoing.  When the time comes for another head coach search (my guess after next season if we don't start winning games) then I would look at Penn State QB coach Ricky Rahne if we are looking for another former Big Red player.  But at that point, why not try and bring in an experienced head coach, even at a lower Div 2 or 3 level.

After being an NFL OC, he hasn't gotten any cheaper.

This is one great example of a circular thread.

I'd agree if it were a ton of messages, such that it would have been reasonable for someone new to the conversation not to have read all the way from the beginning of the thread. In this case, the earlier message posting this information was a whole *five posts back* and 3 hours earlier.

It doesn't matter if Lazor is available, or even if he was "affordable", which I agree he's not, it's highly doubtful we are making a change now.  Next year around this time......stay tuned.

Buddy, why would Ken have mentioned Lazor if someone else hadn't already mentioned that Lazor had been fired?

Finally some talk of an indoor practice facility and re-building the West stands at Schoellkopf.

Watching him didn't really instill much confidence in our football program.

He reminds me of Chris Farley from Tommy Boy.

At some point, you have to see results on the field (i.e., WINS).  Just my opinion, but I can't see how you can keep Archer if he doesn't win at least 4-5 games next season.
