Cornell football 2018

[margolism]

We just won our sprint football game against Franklin Pierce (due to forfeit) - what's the deal with that?

He's been dead since 1869.  That can't have helped.

+1 Twice in one topic Trotsky made me almost spew coffee out the nose.

Sprint football not even getting the courtesy of its own topic. One of the six alumni winning the Frank H T Rhodes Award for Distinguished Alumni Service last week was Jay Carter '71. A lot of words for a small plaque, so they inscribe it Cornell Big Macher instead.

Here's your answer. Franklin Pierce DGAF

Cornell blows out formerly 3-0 Sacred Heart 43-24. Wow.

Cornell blows out formerly 3-0 Sacred Heart 43-24. Wow.

And it was 43-10 before garbage time

I watched the game on ESPN+ and it seemed that there were many commercial breaks. According to box scores, the SHU game ran for 3:10 and last week's Yale game ran 3:15.  In contrast, the first two games on IDN last year, Colgate and Bucknell, ran for 2:41 and 2:36, respectively.  Presumably, the many and lengthy commercials accounted for the extra 34 minutes per game.  I hope that this trend doesn't continue into hockey season as annoying commercial timeouts affect the flow of the game and provide a break for less well conditioned teams, not to mention that fans will get home later.

3:15 is a Major League Baseball 7-inning game.

I think once you go to ESPN games then there is a set number of commercial timeouts even if its not on reg Tv stations. This makes all the games fit into the tv blocks

This would suck for us old timers and hockey purists of any age.  The only silver lining is that it would give the coaching staff more experience in dealing with the finesse needed in line matching, etc. when dealing with a game with more timeouts.  It could make the staff more ready for playoff hockey.

This is sort of my view. The flow of a TV game can seem much different than that of a non-tv game. NCAA games are all TV games. May as well adapt to that flow even if it means longer games in December too.

ESPN+ currently has the Cornell-Harvard football video crosswired to the Cornell-Harvard women's soccer game.

Nice high resolution image, though.

[Trotsky]

They sorted themselves out just it time for a 47-yard Harvard TD run.  0-7.

[Trotsky]

0-7 through 1 quarter.  Other than the one broken play not a bad effort.  Harvard looks better but Catanese has been moving the ball a little.

[Trotsky]

Blocked punt returned 28 yards by Bedard; 7-7.
