47-23

Wow. That's more than a win - it's a WIN.

I can't remember a win this big at a Homecoming Day since the Maxie Baugh and Ed Marinaro years.  Nice for Coach Swanstrom to get his first game before the returning alumni at the game.

8:15 PM EDT and still no recap on the Athletics web site.  Jane McNally had a story up on the Sun web site three hours ago.  Yay for her!

How did you find out?

A signature win for Swanstrom. Reminds me of the 2016 homecoming win against Yale--the turnovers, the flashy plays, Yale's lousy secondary. That team went on to defeat (ranked, in the Coaches Poll) Colgate on the road the week following.  That's a cautionary tale, I suppose, and it's a shame Wang won't be on the East Hill to build around over these next few years after this one, but the future of the program looks brighter than it did in 2016 all the same.

Also, yesterday's was the first homecoming win since 2017 (Brown). Perhaps more satisfyingly, the second straight upset against preseason favorite Yale. The wins they're not supposed to get on paper are the fun ones. I suppose that's most of them. GBR.

Wow what a difference a week makes as Cornell football knocks off Yale 47-23.   Great crowd too with lots of students attending with over 12K.   Even with the rain hundreds of students were still packed underneath the overhang at Schoellkopf.  Another tough game next Saturday vs. Albany.   Go Big Red!

There have been other slow posts from Cornell athletics PR. That shouldn't be. It may be that Cornell does not have enough people to handle about 15 sports in the fall and there is fall/winter overlap come October. Writing sports is not rocket science and Cornell could turn to students who are paid or, ah, AI could do it, too. At least one other Ivy school pays a veteran sportswriter (read: old or laid off or both, or young and looking to build a resume) to write features and possibly game stories.

This seems so minor compared to the possibility townspeople in power might try to have the indoor part of Meinig Fieldhouse be grass. I think that's past.

I have to assume the Sports Information department is understaffed. It's a shame that there's often such a lag in the game reports. And in only a handful of the game reports (such as men's soccer) do we ever get coach's quotes about the game.

I think one could address concerns directly to the SID, Jeremy Hartigan, at jh295@cornell.edu.  Also I have found other staff members such Laura Sgrecci, Deputy AD, to be pretty responsive too.
