No biographical info included, which is sort of weak.

There's probably not much to say given the quality of players we've been getting of late

Media poll has Cornell last again.  Cornell release proudly states the Red outperformed expectations last year (when finished tied for last & went 1-6 in Ivies).   Stop the insanity!

Please put an end to this Archer tenure.  Here's hoping the new AD will finally act on this.

According Noel's retirement plan, he will serve as AD through the end of the 2021-22 academic year and into 2022-23 until a successor is named. A national search was to begin late this summer — that would be now.

I assume that we'll have a new coach for 2023, but it will take years to right the ship.  We haven't had a winning season since 2005.  Some of our entering freshman hadn't yet been born.  President Pollack went to Dartmouth, so she should know that academics and a decent football team are not mutually exclusive.

where they seem to care about football.

2021 Ivy League Football Standings

Dartmouth..   6-1 -- (Overall 9-1)   
Princeton....   6-1 -- (Overall 9-1)   
Harvard......   5-2 -- (Overall 8-2)
Columbia....   4-3 -- (Overall 7-3)
Yale...........   4-3 -- (Overall 5-5)
Penn..........   1-6 -- (Overall 3-7)
Brown........   1-6 -- (Overall 2-8)
Cornell.......   1-6 -- (Overall 2-8)


The Cornell athletic media considers last year's record of tying for last "an improvement", versus occupying last place all by themselves, even though Cornell was picked last in the 2021 media pre-season poll. :-D

Could take it a step further and say we tied for 6th!

That's exactly how they were worded it.  Cornell's past record doesn't give the Cornell SID much to work with.

247 Sports ranks 2022 Ivy football teams by recruiting as 1 Princeton, 2 Harvard, 3 Yale, 4 Penn as of 6/13/22 and puts an N/A for rankings of Columbia, Brown, Cornell and Dartmouth.

Colgate was one of the two teams that Cornell beat last season and they're opening at Stanford!  Their team must be vastly improved or their AD and coaches are masochists.  Cornell played Stanford in 1991 and lost 56-6.  I'm not optimistic about beating the Red Raiders this year.

IIRC Stanford had another OOC opponent cancel (I want to say UVA) and had to scramble to fill that spot.  Certainly not the most thrilling opponent to open Stanford's season.

Best thing the football team has done in years....

The reality is President Martha Pollack hates athletics at Cornell.   She is currently running many of our sports teams off campus to East Hill Plaza.   I am cutting back on all giving to Cornell until that lady is in the unemployment line.   I am guessing Cornell football this season will be lucky to win one or two games at the most.   Once beautiful Schoellkopf Field is now the ugliest stadium in the Ivy League.   I hate to admit, but why would any recruit want to play for this football program?

Tell us about any conversations you have had with Pollack that have caused you to draw this conclusion.

The Cornell University Master Plan that envisions the Game Farm Road athletic complex is dated 2015.  Martha Pollack assumed office in April 2017.  The Reis Tennis Center on Pine Tree Road was built in 1993.  The train left the station a long time ago.
