Cornell vs Penn football 11/8/25

Touchdown!!!

A block extra point is a live ball. Why were people standing around wondering what to do?

Kid who blocked it for Penn was my son's volleyball teammate in high school. Nice kid. And huge. Added sixty pounds at Penn.

Very cool! I hope he is unhappy tonight though.

So I guess you are not class of '60?  Or you are and you have a vast amount of money.

I'm neither class of '60 nor sitting on vast amounts of money.

Very impressed by how we ran an aggressive offense.  200th Ivy win!

It was an AND not an OR.

First 4-game win streak for Cornell football since Boris Yeltsin ran Russia.

Who wins in that scenario?  The team that won least recently?  That's gotta be us.

Alas, I think the losses to H and Y doom us since we will lose all H2H tiebreakers that matter. Don't know for sure if there is possibly some 4-team tiebreaker where 2-2 has some staying power but I doubt it.

I don't think there's a path. Just a miracle shared Ivy Title.

If H loses to Penn and Yale and
Yale loses to Princeton
And Penn beats Princeton
And Cornell wins out.
There are four 5-2s
Harvard would be 1-2 against the group of four
Penn would be 1-2
Cornell would be 1-2
Yale would be 3-0

If Yale loses both to fall to 4-3, it means Harvard is no worse than 6-1. There's no scenario where a tie of any kind with Yale works to Cornell's advantage and the only way to not tie Yale is to be a full game behind Yale or Harvard.

It's all exceedingly unlikely anyway but it's nice to be in a title race on paper in mid-November.

Cornell's first 4 wins in a row streak since 1999....26 years ago.

Wow, that's so long ago that *I* was at Cornell back then.
