As weak as the defense has been the last few years, Cornell loses their defensive captain yet again to an injury. This time it's career ending.

Former coach Kent Austin is having a bad year.  First he relieved himself as coach of the Hamilton Tiger Cats because of their 0-8 record to concentrate on the administration of the team. Now he's getting sued by Cornell for money he owes for leaving Cornell prior to the end of his contract,

Seems rather straightforward.  Based on the stated facts CU will be able to get summary judgment if Austin doesn't pay before then.

Was Austin behind the attempted hiring of Art Briles?

June Jones the new HC who really wanted him, but they would surely have needed Austin's approval as well as the owner.

Delaware coming up Saturday.  Better hope they don't get too many injuries from The Blue Hens strong defense.  I'm guess Delaware 38 Cornell 10 for a final score.

Did Delaware move up to FBS?  I remember when they were a D-2 powerhouse way back.

No, but they did very well playing up against the #16 ranked FBS Virginia Tech, holding them to 303 yards of total offense and only 81 yards rushing. It was a nice pay day for Delaware by playing VT.

"Hens TV" makes ILDN look like IMAX.  Commercials come thru very clear but game broadcast truly sucks.  On the bright side, the constant buffering has made the video almost simultaneous with WHCU audio.  For now.

17-0 Delaware in the 2nd on their way to an easy win as I thought.

Make that 24-0 Delaware, blow-out in progress.

4-0 turnovers, including fumble on 1st play of the game. Defense actually been decent but has too many short fields

CAS

Red down 27-0 at half.  5 turnovers.  Soon to be 9-32 with David Archer as head coach

It's important to have goals.
