Cornell football 2022

[CAS]

5-5 (2-5 Ivies) is not the same as 5-5 (4-3).  A good season is having a winning Ivy record (not
beating Patriot  & Southern Conference teams having down years.

Penn now 4-0 after a 58-28 win over Georgetown.  Penn's offense has been vastly improved since former Ithaca College head coach Dan Swanstrom returned to Penn as their offensive coordinator. I still think he would be an ideal candidate to head the Cornell football program post Archer.

[George64]

We all wish Cornell did better the last decade. Jameson Wang did choose to play for Cornell and Archer.

The eLynah 360-Feedback Committee should all decide how good of a season must Cornell have to say, "Let's give the coach another year to see if there's an upward slope?" My should he stay or should he go performance criteria:

Suppose, however, that Cornell goes 2 and 5 in Ivy League play?

Suppose, however, that Cornell goes 2 and 5 in Ivy League play?

Could happen. That means finishing the Ivy schedule 2-3. Beating Princeton will be difficult. Ditto Dartmouth. Columbia and Brown seem most likely to help Cornnell to pick up the wins. Brown's Ivy loss was to Harvard, also 35-28. Penn, Columbia and Brown I believe have played 3 of the 4 first games against non-Ivies. Penn at 4-0 is impressive; the Ivy win was in OT vs. Dartmouth.

Cornell has strong programs in lacrosse, hockey, wrestling, & now soccer.   Basketball has been
7-7 in the Ivies 2 of the last 3 years.  Why do some accept being a doormat in football?  In Archer's decade as head coach, Cornell is 15-43 in the Ivies.  Should anyone be satisfied if Cornell improves a game or two from last year's 2-8 (1-6 Ivies) season?

Is there such a thing as a quality loss?

Yes, it could happen, but at 5 and 5 with yet another losing season in the Ivies, do you think  Archer would stay or go?

You'd have to find someone willing to fire him.

They should hire me! I'd fire Archer in a heartbeat. And then I'd promptly funnel all available funds to the hockey team. Bonus: no more Lynah Stasi.

They could buy me a sweet pad in Cayuga Heights and call me the CEO of Athletics.

if they go 5-5 with a 3-4 ivy season he will get an extension

Watch 99 on the DL.   Not very good there either in spite of his size.

2-2 Cornell's Game 5, against 1-5 Lehigh, 1 pm Oct. 15 at Schoellkopf Field, seems winnable. But how's QB Jameson Wang's health?

Cornell PR on the game:  Football Eyes Perfect Non-Conference Season When Lehigh Visits Schoellkopf Field

Never mind: Soccer is after football. Hmmm. Gwen and I are back on campus for the Red-White and Ottawa exhibition hockey games. But I'm wondering what to do Saturday afternoon:

1:00  Berman Field        Soccer     Penn    8-1-1  2-0-0 Ivy (Cornell 9-2, 2-0)

Be nice if Cornell had an all-areas day pass, see a bit of both. Or: Be nice if Cornell simulcast soccer on the Schoellkopf Jumbotron. Just trying to think outside the box.[/s]

This is the big Cornell Trustee weekend on campus (TCAM, Trustee-Council [i.e. big macher] Annual Meeting. Give them something to cheer, forget it was Princeton (Ben Bernanke) that won a Nobel Prize this week.

Soccer game is at 4:00

So we could move directly to Lynah Rink to get warmer.

Doing our best to give this one to Lehigh.Down 5 at the half.
