Not surprised.

Not last!  First time since 2014.

Around the bowl and down the hole.

Looks like highly-rated QB recruit Harley Kirsch is off the 2018 roster having never taken a varsity snap due to a very serious illness early on.  Shame.

The season opens tomorrow. There hasn't been a football post here since Aug. 21. In comparison, there's been a bunch on lacrosse and even a half-dozen on polo (horse, not water). Good luck, Cornell. I might even go down to Delaware to watch, assuming seats are still available. 3:30 p.m. at Tubby Raymond Field. I don't think an Ivy school would allow such name. Have to be T. Raymond III Field at Delaware Mud Hens / Monsanto Round-Up Stadium. LGR!

I don't believe the hurricane is targeting Delaware (high 70s Saturday, partly cloudy).

Mid Atlantic weather has returned to our Total Shit Status Quo for September (sticky, fetid, gross).  Playing football in this must be the equivalent of having to wear wet socks on a 5-mile hike.

Just survive.  (Your 2018 motto)

Cornell got creamed by Delaware last opener.  It should follow the same script.  Get ready for plenty of mistakes, penalties and turnovers as Cornell plays their 1st game and Delaware their 3rd.

And Delaware just crushed Lafayette, 37-0.  

Not looking forward to much of a game Saturday, but I'll go down there for the hell of it.

Hope this is the end of the Delaware series.

You and me both.  Though I hope they don't replace Delaware with Villanova.  They just smashed Lehigh.

Can we go back to playing the Merchant Marine Academy?  ::whistle::

They should add a team like Lafayette or Holy Cross in future schedules.

I remember going to a Cornell game at Lafayette a while back.  We lost.

I remember when we played Rutgers more or less evenly. But that was when older alums recalled Cornell played Michigan evenly. The oldest lamented how wimpy football had become with the departure of leather helmets.

Maybe we're losing our best athletes to Ultimate.
