Maybe just hire a coaching staff.  Winless Ivy season being stared in the face.

No please this is too rotten.

Whoever picked the over made out okay with 94 total points scored. For a Cornell fan searching 'cornell brown football' they were saved the misery of the 49-45 home loss and learning the possibility continues for Cornell going oh-and-seven in the Ivies ... because ... Google takes you to the page for Cornell Brown, football assistant coach at Tarleton State (part of the Texas A&M system).

Man, did we have a good and lucky fourth quarter offense and a confused unlucky defense. 36 total points scored in the fourth.

Has to be a pony in there somewhere.

Next up, at home versus Princeton, now 6-0 with an 18-16 win over Harvard. Friday, 7pm.

Correct 9 straight losing seasons under Archer is ENOUGH!!!!  Bring in a new staff with a background in winning.  Look how Columbia has rebounded from the perennial loser to competing for the Ivy championship.

i just want my beloved alma mater to win at something.... if not in academics, at least in some sports... why do they insist on torturing their alums....

And there's no reason why winning at football isn't possible with the right staff and support from the administration.

You think so? i always wonder if Cornell finds it difficult to attract top talents because of location and less prestige among other things...

It's not attracting the top talent as much as developing the players they do recruit, and then putting them in a system that utilizes their talent to the best. It's game planning and coaching that eliminates needless penalties that often kill drives.

Good point. Something's gotta give. I'm in too much pain...

A lot of teams would kill to have our hockey and lacrosse programs. We got jobbed out of more hardware by COVID, but it's been a great stretch by almost any standard. Plus there's wrestling

Cornell is now 14-38 in Ivy play in the Archer era, with undefeated Princeton up next.  Won't be easy for the Red

Maybe Princeton players will shiver and drop catchable passes? Forecast for the 7pm Friday kickoff is 49 degrees and rain.

The Sun sees a pony in there somewhere:
Quote from: Cornell Daily SunThe pieces are all in place for Cornell to garner its second win of the season, but the Red still needs to capitalize on all opportunities to do so. If the new players can make a larger impact on offense and the defense can continue to make big plays without giving up points, the latter half of the season looks promising for the team.

So many great sports quotes, aphorisms and all-round dumb-seemingly-sane remarks. One of my favorites is, "You cant't coach height." Too bad Yogi Berra came along after Twitter.
