Cornell football 2023

If I'd have known we'd win, I would have started a separate thread.

Let's not have a Homecoming letdown.

Friday (8:30 fireworks), sunny, high 68 (but 48 low). Saturday, sunny, high 72 (2 pm gametime). The only unknowns for Saturday are final score and final number of alcohol transports.

Any ideas how else we can give this one away?

look they're much better than us so there was no way we were winning but it still is embarrassing how collectively bad the team looks

12 play, 70-yard drive to start the third quarter ends in a QB sneak TD.  10-14 and somehow we aren't dead yet.

I am trying to convince our Class Reunion to use the tagline #NotDeadYet. Traction is building mostly on account of it started at zero and couldn't go down.

"Dancing in the Moonlight" chosen by the reunion folks was brilliant.  Still not going but hats off to the committee.

"Dancing in the Moonlight" was played at our freshman concert by Boffalongo, which disbanded and members went on to King Harvest (the version you heard) and Orleans. So, yeah, it's pretty apt, the official reunion slogan. I have a classmate friend who had big time heart surgery a decade ago, he's fine now, and the rehab groups made T-shirts, Not Dead Yet.

... and Orleans...

including the future congressman?

You can read the Boffalongo to King Harvest to Orleans progression and then they'll be a quiz.  I'd pass with flying colors for about 5 minutes and then half an hour later flunk with abandon.

Orleans is to be commended for this:

I didn't bother even thinking about a win after seeing us at Lehigh.  So allI can say is "Holy Shit!"

[rss77]

Running game was so much crisper than it was against Lehigh.  Good effort considering they were going against Yale's left tackle Kiran Amegadjie, who is considered the top NFL prospect in the Ivies. To be honest was expecting Yale to win by 2 touchdowns.  Also am impressed with the pass defense this season.  Per the late Yale touchdown on the 4th and 20-that was a perfect pass against pretty decent Cornell coverage. As long as Wang stays healthy don't count out the Red.  Only concerns are the injuries to Kiser and Stebbins.  Looking forward to Homecoming!!

i think one thing that improved the running game in the second half is less RPO and more straight runs or passes. i don't think the option is smooth at all and the indecision means that there's a beat of delay on every handoff that feels like an eternity. when the play call was fixed the offense executed.

meanwhile dartmouth rolled lehigh

... and confusing even if you're lighting up. There is John Hall of Orleans, the Mid-Hudson Congressmen / Orleans guy. Elected to Congress in a Republican district 2006, 2008, unelected 2010. Then there is Daryl Hall and John Oates, which is confusing and would be more so if it were John Hall and Daryl Oates.

And....Orleans played at Daryl's house back in April.

There was a succession of 8-10 plays in the second half where Amegadjie was mentioned on every play.  He was amazing.

I noticed that on both AD Moore's newsletter and the IL website, ESPN+ is mentioned. Yet last night I searched for the Cornell/Yale football game in the on-demand section of ESPN+ in the ESPN app, but had no luck. Can anyone advise about this?
