Cornell football 2022

[mikers]

Watched the first half of this Lehigh matchup. Both the "O" and "D" lines are poorly coached and out-schemed, as well as outsized. Cornell needs to get rid of this entire staff and start fresh. These players deserve better. The recruiting is just awful, and it has become self-fulfilling; no one wants to come to Cornell. They have terrible coaching and awful facilities. Embarrasing!

Seems to me the basic problem is you can't have a consistent offense when you have no running game other than a quarterback draw or scramble.

These refs are incompetent. Pass interference calls that aren't even close. I suppose we can't expect nfl quality officiating.

One of the strangest games that I have ever seen.  Cornell's defense could not get off the field until their backs were against the wall with Lehigh punting only once (How many 3rd downs did Cornell give up-I lost count).  Agreed that the officiating was inexcusable during the game with a number of calls going against Cornell (Roughing, pass interference, etc.).  As Bill Parceells used to say: "You're as good as your last win".

bend but don't break!

Could be worse for Cornell halfway through, could be better. 3-2 is not bad compared to Cornell teams of the past decade, since no Cornell team has run the field against non-Ivy foes since 2007. On the league-only side, four teams are now 2-0 and four are 0-2. We have a decent chance to win 2 of 3 against Columbia, Brown and Dartmouth and, ah, an uphill push to defeat 5-0 Penn and Princeton.

We don't like that Penn now ends versus Princeton instead of versus Cornell. But the Nov. 19 finale, Penn at Princeton, could determine the Ivy championship. (Has there ever been a four-way title tie?) Cornell at Columbia will not and it's also annoying to Cornell fans that it's one week away from the even-year MSG game, fortunately not the BU game.

Cornell's 3 non-Ivy wins are over teams with a combined record of 3-16 this year.

Not what one would say are quality out of conference opponents at least this season anyway.

Has there ever been a four-way title tie?

Nope.  3-way ties in:

66 (6-1: Drt, Hvd, Prn)
69 (6-1: Drt, Prn, Yal)
82 (5-2: Drt, Hvd, Pen)
15 (6-1: Drt, Hvd, Pen)

My HS team finds the worst teams in the entire state of Ohio, goes 4-0 non-league, gets demolished in all 5 league games, then proudly claims they went 4-5. Cornell seems to have tried a similar approach this year.

to be fair colgate and lehigh are pretty traditional opponents

Princeton "prevented" a four-way in 1995 by kicking a last-second, 18-yard field goal to tie Dartmouth and "win" the title outright. We had a chance to win outright but had already "coughed up the ball" in Philadelphia.

Should've played for the tie, I guess.

I'm still angry.

IINM there could be a 7-way tie at 7 x 4-3 and 0-7.
