Cornell Football 2019

Quote from: CASIs it time yet for another 6-year extension?

Honestly, I can't see how this Cornell AD and administration can keep Archer as HC beyond this, his 7th year, unless he can lead this team to at least a .500 record (hopes of seriously challenging for an Ivy Championship are pure fantasy and have been for years). I suspect in reality, the 2019 team is headed for another losing record.

EIU lists him as a graduate transfer. Assuming that's true, he couldn't have played for the Big Red this season unless he decided to postpone graduation. That's an Ivy League issue and not a Cornell FB issue (which is good because the FB program has enough issues).

Of course, the EIU website also says Walker played four years with the Bears, so who knows about its accuracy?

What a surprise, Cornell is picked to finish in the bottom half of the Ivy League yet again. Lucky for Cornell Brown is picked last... ;-)

Quote from: ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell was picked to finish seventh in the 2019 Ivy League Football Preseason Media Poll it was announced today. The Big Red will kick off the new campaign with its sights set on having a much bigger impact on the league standings when it visits Marist on Saturday, Sept. 21 at 12 p.m.

Yale was picked to win the league for the second straight year, with defending champion Princeton sitting third and receiving four first-place votes, second only to the Bulldogs' nine. Dartmouth, chosen second overall, received two first-place votes and Harvard and Columbia claimed one each. Two media members from each of the eight schools and one national media member comprised the poll.

"2019 Ivy League Football Preseason Poll (First-Place Votes)

1. Yale (9) 119
2. Dartmouth (2) 111
3. Princeton (4) 107
4. Harvard (1) 93
5. Penn 67
6. Columbia (1) 61
7. Cornell 29
8. Brown 24"

Is that the team motto for this season.... "Hey, we're not last!"

Brown has a new head coach & a QB transfer from Boston College. Cornell has Dave Archer (15-45) returning for his 7th year as head coach.

QB should have come to Cornell as part of the Steve Donahue deal and player to be named later.

Cornell went 5-5 & 4-6 (9-11 overall ) in the two years prior to the Archer era. 15-45 since. Btw Brown let go of a coach after he had 3 losing seasons, despite going 115-94 overall & winning 3 Ivy titles.

Practice has started for the Big Red, and they still haven't hired a QB coach...TBA. ::wtf::
