Loss to Yale that with how bad the Ivy is pretty much puts us out of contention for an at large bid. Gotta get going in league play and win the tournament now.

I was one of the few Cornell fans at the game in person. We possessed the ball most of the first half, but came up empty on the scoreboard. Yale put more pressure on in the second half, leading to a sustained period of possessing the ball in our end, eventually leading to a hand ball on one of our defenders in the goal area, and the resulting penalty kick which was the game's only goal. Cornell played with desperation the last 15 minutes and had some dangerous chances but couldn't convert. Our star forward Harris had a few shots he blasted, but missed the net with, that I'm sure he'd like back.
The good news is that Yale had advertised free Pepe's pizza for Yale students. When I got to the game, they were letting anyone who wanted some take a small personal pizza for free. Not as good as Modern, but you can't beat the price!

I beg to differ.  Better than Modern.  Maybe the fact that it had travelled.

I've lived in CT for over 40 years, and you will never convince me that any apizza is better than Modern.

I agree.  I've been eating New Haven abeets since 1950.

Fun 5-2 win over bing. They scared me being down 2-1 late but scored 4 before the buzzer so the final score actually reflected how the game felt.

For me, sally's but to each his own. Modern is too thick. I like thin thinner thinnest.

Key to this discussion is the phrase:  "to each his own."

Cornell bounces back from losing Ivy opener to Yale by beating Dartmouth 3-0, with Harris recording a hat trick in the first half. That's eight goals for Cornell now in its last two games.

Another Ivy W, 1-0 over Princeton on the road. All our trouble has been on the road so even a close win is a relief.

Next Sunday's (20th) home game with Ivy leader Penn on espnu at noon.

We're 11th in RPI, With 25 at-large selections, if we finish reasonably well we should be in solid position for an at-large bid if we don't win the ILT.

Its still really tough with a weak Ivy League but I'm starting to become hopeful, just keep going one game at a time.

Ivy's overall RPI is 9th out of 22 conferences, so perhaps "weak" is an overstatement.
