The excitement is building. Cornell has a youthful veteran coach not much older than Sean McVay. I've marked my calendar for Homecoming.

Thx for posting schedule. Might be more excitement if our coach didn’t have a 15-45 record.

Marist backs onto a half mile or so of Hudson Riverfront, but unlike Stevens in Hoboken, no dorms with a river view, I believe. Yes, a rising rep, but on the campus tours 6-8 years back, the walker-talkers spend a lot of time talking about how seriously Marist treats alcohol infractions. Also it didn't sound like a school where you asked if the infirmary gives out condoms at the front desk. On the plus side, when the women's basketball team made the NCAAs (see how different Marist is), and it was on TV, Marist needed students on TV, so they chartered a plane for the day to, say, St. Louis. Twenty bucks got you the flight out and back, a ticket, and a Marist T-shirt. That got our son excited, but not as much as the concern over alcohol storm troopers.

Interesting. The Rivals page lists schools he's shown interest in -- a very impressive list -- and says he has "Medium" interest in all of them. But Cornell's not even on the list! (Although Dartmouth is.)

The page says he had 9 offers. Since he's listed as being interested in 14 schools, 7 of which I consider "high majors," this is quite impressive. Still, he's listed as only 2 stars (out of 5) -- probably because of his size: 5'9", 185.

One of the recruiting sites had him as a 3 star, but I agree his size likely lowered his stock a bit from the ratings folks. Nonetheless he's the first player I can recall turning down a Michigan offer to come to Cornell.

Maybe they wanted him to switch to DB or saw himself as roster filler there.

Great article. Thanks!

It sort of makes up for the Arizona Daily Star article on Stone Gettings, which seems to diss Cornell every chance it can, and for TD Ierlan choosing that shithole school in New Haven over Cornell.

Or is it "that school in the shithole called New Haven?"

Jarad Jarman, Journal Gazette & Times-Courier
The Panthers were picked eighth in the OVC’s official preseason poll, as voted by head coaches and sports information directors. The league’s media poll, released last week, predicted the same finish.
Q: Why transfer when you could have stayed at Cornell and play for a team also (probably) picked to finish 8th?
A: The Ohio Valley Conference has nine teams.

To make it look feel even worse, look at these stats from the CFA letter to it's members:

Football Record Since 1999: 2 winning seasons | Overall winning percentage 35.6% | Ivy League winning percentage 34.2% | Last 10 seasons overall winning percentage 28% | Last 10 seasons Ivy League winning percentage 25.7% – RESULTS MATTER!"

Honestly, I can't see how this Cornell AD and administration can keep Archer as HC beyond this, his 7th year, unless he can lead this team to at least a .500 record (hopes of seriously challenging for an Ivy Championship are pure fantasy and have been for years). I suspect in reality, the 2019 team is headed for another losing record.

EIU lists him as a graduate transfer. Assuming that's true, he couldn't have played for the Big Red this season unless he decided to postpone graduation. That's an Ivy League issue and not a Cornell FB issue (which is good because the FB program has enough issues).

Of course, the EIU website also says Walker played four years with the Bears, so who knows about its accuracy?

What a surprise, Cornell is picked to finish in the bottom half of the Ivy League yet again. Lucky for Cornell Brown is picked last... ;-)

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell was picked to finish seventh in the 2019 Ivy League Football Preseason Media Poll it was announced today. The Big Red will kick off the new campaign with its sights set on having a much bigger impact on the league standings when it visits Marist on Saturday, Sept. 21 at 12 p.m.

Yale was picked to win the league for the second straight year, with defending champion Princeton sitting third and receiving four first-place votes, second only to the Bulldogs' nine. Dartmouth, chosen second overall, received two first-place votes and Harvard and Columbia claimed one each. Two media members from each of the eight schools and one national media member comprised the poll.

"2019 Ivy League Football Preseason Poll (First-Place Votes)

1. Yale (9) 119
2. Dartmouth (2) 111
3. Princeton (4) 107
4. Harvard (1) 93
5. Penn 67
6. Columbia (1) 61
7. Cornell 29
8. Brown 24"

Cornell went 5-5 & 4-6 (9-11 overall ) in the two years prior to the Archer era. 15-45 since. Btw Brown let go of a coach after he had 3 losing seasons, despite going 115-94 overall & winning 3 Ivy titles.

Probably not. But maybe we can make him the lifetime QB coach, or give him lifetime parking, in return for him donating a tax write-off indoor practice facility. Of course, we'd name it (Good) Luck Hall.

  1. We have a veteran coach familiar with the Cornell system.
  2. The prediction for Cornell this year has the Big Red all the way up to seventh.
  3. Nobody has been paid under the table to play at Cornell.

I don't understand why this is still a problem. The issues are NCAA rules, and that CU must follow them. If anyone has had any contact with "big time college sports", they will realize all the hoops that schools have to go through to be sure they stay in compliance.

It just is what it is. You can't have an independent group helping to support a sports team. The school is responsible for everything, even someone who acts on their own. If that group does something "illegal", the school suffers, not the group.

If the school knowingly receives help from someone who doesn't follow the rules, down can come the hammer.

Institutional control is mandatory, like it or not.

I believe CFA’s issue is with the inadequate level of support the university provides for the football program. This is less about institutional control of a booster group & more about providing the necessary funding, facilities, & staff required for a competitive Ivy program. As the CFA states in their letter, after two decades of abysmal results, “Results matter”. The CFA is much closer to the situation than I am. And they vote no confidence in the stewardship of our football program

As the CFA states in their letter, after two decades of abysmal results, “Results matter”. The CFA is much closer to the situation than I am. And they vote no confidence in the stewardship of our football program

From Andy's 7/31 letter:

"Among the most important concepts in the NCAA is that of institutional control. Simply put, this concept requires that institutions implement processes and procedures to minimize the incidence and frequency of rules violations. Institutional control applies to the institution and to any external persons or groups considered “Representatives of the University’s Athletics Interests.” Institutions are responsible not only for their own activities, but also for the activities (and potential rules violations) of their external support groups, even where those groups are organized as legally independent organizations – the NCAA imputes the conduct of such organizations to the institutional member.

The CFA and its members are defined as Representatives of Cornell’s Athletics Interests, and therefore must be subject to Cornell’s monitoring and oversight to ensure demonstrable institutional control. The current leadership of this organization has refused necessary and compliant monitoring and oversight, and as a result, Cornell University has no choice but to disassociate from the current leadership of the CFA and decline support from this group.

The entire issue at hand is the CFA leadership’s refusal to comply with required but reasonable NCAA mandates regarding institutional control."

I have no idea, but I've thought that they were unhappy with the way the program is going.

The problem is that they cannot help the program from the outside. They have to be monitored by the university.

If indeed they are not allowing CU monitoring, then it's the old nose/face routine.

I've not seen the CFA talk about this, but to me silence, at least from what I know, is itself an answer.

If they were willing to be monitored, why wouldn't they publicize it?

I've not read all of CFA's writings. So I'd be happy to defer to someone who has better knowledge.

The CFA has indicated that they negotiated with the university but were unable to reach an agreement. It’s apparent they have zero confidence that the football program will receive the institutional support needed to be competitive. Perhaps this action by football's greatest supporters will prompt the Cornell administration & board to examine the program & do what’s necessary to enable us to compete.

Which is fine, but my understanding is there needs to be institutional control to make sure the Cornell boosters don't do something (by omission or commission) that f-cks the university. They have to submit to monitoring. The acceptable path of protest is not to boost without monitoring, it is to withhold boosting.

As a barely concealed tax-free financial scam, Cornell University always chooses to maximize the bottom line. They maintain the appearance of academic primacy because that supports the elite brand which allows them to demand exorbitant fees for their service of credentialing the next generation of Upper Class Twits of the Year. They have athletic programs in the first place because the emotional attachment of pathetic glory days Olds enables them to grab millions in extra donations. And let's not even start on real estate.

The only way to get Cornell to do something is to either dangle or withhold cash. Everything else is a means to that end for them.

You are exactly right. As an aside, last year when there was voices expressing frustration with the direction of the football program, and calling for the firing to David Archer, the AD asked the CFA to publicly join him in support of the head coach after yet another losing season, including that embarrassing record setting 66-0 loss to Princeton, the CFA wouldn't provide that public support.

An intervention is exactly what happened with Columbia's football program using a football consultant outside their athletic administration after years and years of fielding a losing teams.

Brown has a new coach which explains that forecasted finish, but a brighter future I would say from a coaching standpoint.

Homecoming opponent Georgetown leading their game at halftime 53-0.

...against Catholic U, a weak D3 team. Nothing to see here.
Hope so. Final 69-0, with Catholic rushing 23 times for -8 yards.
Georgetown also walloped next week's Cornell opponent, Marist, 44-3.

Cornell should easily beat Marist.

“[We’re] really [reinventing] the way we’re doing things: We’re running a different scheme on offense, we’re on a different defense. The theme is going to be like a hybrid warfare approach, right? So conventional methods mixed with unconventional methods … attacking thought processes and beliefs, while you’re also attacking the weaknesses where [opponents] line up.”

“I felt like my approach was ‘Hey, I’m going to recruit the best players, I’m gonna develop them, I’m gonna run really sound schemes, and we’re gonna beat people. And looking back on it, I don’t think I gave us a good enough of a chance, schematically. And so trying to really open up the bag of tricks, if you will, and be really creative with what we’re doing.”

“I don’t think I had enough schematic answers for us late in the season. Right, we finished in 2017, 0-3, 2018 finished 0-4. I think once we put too much stuff on film, I didn’t give our team enough of a chance. I didn’t have a good curveball … off my fastball.”

Sounds like BS, and that he doesn't have a quarterback who can run a normal offense.

Reads like gibberish to me but I'm not sure I can delineate the difference between BS and double talk. Not sure Archer can either.

Haven't there been very successful coaches who (a) recruit great players, (b) train them very well, and (c) execute plays the other teams can't stop even though they know what's coming?

So now Archer successfully recruited the best players. He developed them to their full potential. He had them run really sound schemes. But the only reason they lost was because the other teams weren't surprised?

I thought unpredictable surprise is the essence of some "sound" schemes, like play action.

Neither can Andy, apparently.

In other words, teams could easily game plan for Cornell after watching a few games on film, and Cornell never had the coaching capability to install new schemes to match later season opponents. The Cornell Sun article to me reads as Archer trying anything new this season to save his job.

Bitch, bitch, bitch. Always so negative. flipd Always pointing out the glass is half empty.

Look at the bright side. We haven't lost a game either. Two weeks into the college football season, and we're still undefeated. bananacheerdrunk

Would you be optimistic about the coming wrestling season if you had a head coach entering his 7th season with a 15-45 record (& no improvement in record from year 1 to year 6)?
