probably still makes more money than hockey.. by far the biggest boosters for the school care about football

Net? It's expensive AF.

15 coaches, plus six listed support staff and over about 120 players, it’s bigger than many academic departments.

If i were rich, i would donate billions on the condition that they discontinue the program

Why? If you donated that much they might even change the name of Schoellfkopf stadium to your name.

Back to football. The defense performed really well against Harvard with Backus's leadership as Defensive Coordinator. Found out Harvard's offensive line has two players doing post grad years at Power 5 schools (One at Penn State and the other at LSU). Unfortunately we have an offense that can't get out of its own way-sigh

Jeff Hopkins '82
Yes, but would they fire Archer?

In the storybook I make up in my head trying to figure out Andy Noel, the reason he hired a 30 year-old guy to be a coach is so he would never have to do a coaching search again. Coaching searches are the worst thing my version of Andy ever wants to do. It distracts from his management of the Wrestling Athletic Department.

Archer's not going anywhere until Andy's gone.

Cornell has a fighting chance against Colgate Friday (7pm). I see Cornell at 246 in RPI (RPI covers all D1 and D1-Lite (FCS) schools) and Colgate is 224. Every other Ivy is in the 100s, from Princeton and Harvard at 129 and 131, down through Dartmouth 158 (@D, 11/13), Yale 165, Columbia 173 (home, 11/20), Penn 188 (@ Penn, Nov. 6) and Brown 191 (home 10/23). The best D1 Lite school is #73 Sam Houston State. (FWIW Villanova football ranks ahead of Duke, and if RPI is destiny, Princeton and Harvard could beat Colorado, Tulane, Delaware and Idaho, not to mention Cal and UMass.)
[realtimerpi.com]

If things do not go well tonight, Cornell is halfway to running the table. The last winless season was 0-6-1 in 1935, the end of Gil Dobie's 16 years at the helm. This after three consecutive 8-0 seasons for Dobie and three national championships starting 100 years ago this year.

For those wishing for regime change, 0-10 is a lot harder to ignore than another 1-9 or 2-8 season. It's just a crusher for the 85-plus players and their families, especially if this is their final year playing for Cornell and they are, as we were, Cornell students who are probably not going pro in sports except maybe owning a team or being the commissioner. Personally, I'd like to see Cornell win one or two, which seems possible, even if it means Cornell keeping with the same coaching staff. OddsChecker says cornell has a 61% chance of winning.

I wouldn't be so sure, if they finish 1-9 or 0-10 I'd say he's let go. They should beat Colgate and Brown and finish 2-8, and so he'll "save" his job for yet another losing season.

Colgate and Brown both have higher ratings that Bucknell, and Bucknell made us look foolish. 0-10 looks like a real possibility. I hope.

Cornell scores first then gives up a 100 yard kickoff return lol 7-7.

Jameson Wang, frosh from California, throws the first TD pass then runs it in from 18 for the second. 14-7 Cornell.

Cornell is using different QBs. Three so far.

Now Soph Luke Duby with a couple of nice passes and a 30+ yard TD run. 21-7. Cornell D playing well also.

Now Kenney has a TD pass. 28-7.

Nope, Colgate is weak. It looks like the first win today so worst case 1-9. But like I said they should beat Brown since it's a home game, and there's the 2-8 record. Best case they beat Columbia and could possibly be 3-7.

Bring on Princeton! Get Syracuse (playing Clemson almost evenly in the third quarter) on the calendar.

Huh. Well I'll be dipped.

Even after tough games like this, I still think we should discontinue the program

If you have four starting quarterbacks, you have zero starting quarterbacks. But hey, a win is a win. Nice for the guys on the team.

Columbia is 4-1 and just beat Penn. Don't count on that win.

Columbia is decent, but Penn is a shell of what they used to be.

Cornell should pick up their 1st Ivy League win of the season in Saturday's game against Brown. Cornell 35 - Brown 24 is my guess.

30 seconds in and we are 25% of the way towards the best possible score in football.

Holding and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in the first three minutes.

Illegal shift and illegal block first play second half. Comedy of errors started by decision to run kickoff out of the end zone and getting all the way out to the 12.

Secondary continues to look at the receiver, not the ball. Then interferes with the receiver

No please this is too rotten.

Whoever picked the over made out okay with 94 total points scored. For a Cornell fan searching 'cornell brown football' they were saved the misery of the 49-45 home loss and learning the possibility continues for Cornell going oh-and-seven in the Ivies ... because ... Google takes you to the page for Cornell Brown, football assistant coach at Tarleton State (part of the Texas A&M system).

Man, did we have a good and lucky fourth quarter offense and a confused unlucky defense. 36 total points scored in the fourth.

Has to be a pony in there somewhere.

Next up, at home versus Princeton, now 6-0 with an 18-16 win over Harvard. Friday, 7pm.

Correct 9 straight losing seasons under Archer is ENOUGH!!!! Bring in a new staff with a background in winning. Look how Columbia has rebounded from the perennial loser to competing for the Ivy championship.

It's not attracting the top talent as much as developing the players they do recruit, and then putting them in a system that utilizes their talent to the best. It's game planning and coaching that eliminates needless penalties that often kill drives.

A lot of teams would kill to have our hockey and lacrosse programs. We got jobbed out of more hardware by COVID, but it’s been a great stretch by almost any standard. Plus there’s wrestling

Cornell is now 14-38 in Ivy play in the Archer era, with undefeated Princeton up next. Won’t be easy for the Red

Maybe Princeton players will shiver and drop catchable passes? Forecast for the 7pm Friday kickoff is 49 degrees and rain.

The Sun sees a pony in there somewhere:

Cornell Daily Sun
The pieces are all in place for Cornell to garner its second win of the season, but the Red still needs to capitalize on all opportunities to do so. If the new players can make a larger impact on offense and the defense can continue to make big plays without giving up points, the latter half of the season looks promising for the team.

If the offense can only score more points than the defense gives up, I think we can have a successful program.

I remember back in the Dan Fouts "Air Coryell" era, one wise commentator observing that the San Diego Chargers' defense was so bad that they only way they could win was by scoring more points than the other team.

Princeton plays different 3 QBs in the 1st quarter, with their freshman QB scoring putting Princeton up 7-0.

I watched the game against brown and Wang seemed like one of the few good players.

As the ESPN announcers pointed out, Princeton leading the Ivy League with the least penalties, the complete opposite of Cornell. That is all on the quality of coaching.

Cornell has had players reach the NFL. It's about the coaching they have, not the sport.

OTOH, one could ask why the Ivy League has football at all, given the push to prevent concussions that they keep telling us about in the ads. But since the tradition of football is what defines the Ivies, it's presumably not going anywhere.

Off to a typical start at Penn: fumble lost; offensive pass interference; defense deciding how to line up while Penn runs a play.

And why not just let Wong run the offense and drive the ball down the field.

Holding nullifies a touchdown. Then another holding on following play. Penn is awful. But Cornell just self-destructs. Wong comes in to save the drive and scores. Let him play.

[And why did anyone think shooting a football at my face is a clever way to end a replay?]

Cornell wins! I’m shocked

Last week, host Dartmouth thumped then-#16 Princeton 31-7, and moved to #22 in the FCS rankings. In comparison, Cornell lost to Princeton 34-16. We play at Dartmouth Saturday, 1:30 pm. Cornell upset nationally 11th-Dartmouth two years ago, 20-17. Question is, can Cornell pull off a miracle in consecutive road trips against a ranked team, or is reversion to the mean more likely?

It would be nice if Cornell can win one of its final two, versus Dartmouth or Cornell, to give coach David Archer a 3-7 record. Win both and it ties Cornell's best record of the past decade (including Kent Austin's final, 4-6, 2021 season. That would be the glass-half-full view.

I’ll take Dartmouth in a rout, but I like the new QB. If we can’t have a successful passing game, might as well try to be more of a running team - and he’s a threat.

That's a dismal win/lost record for a head coach and "best case" is they finish with yet another 3-7 record. Archer needs to be moved "upstairs" to an Administrative position, resign or be fired at the end of the season,

Last week, host Dartmouth thumped then-#16 Princeton 31-7, and moved to #22 in the FCS rankings. In comparison, Cornell lost to Princeton 34-16. We play at Dartmouth Saturday, 1:30 pm. Cornell upset nationally 11th-Dartmouth two years ago, 20-17. Question is, can Cornell pull off a miracle in consecutive road trips against a ranked team, or is reversion to the mean more likely?

It would be nice if Cornell can win one of its final two, versus Dartmouth or Cornell, to give coach David Archer a 3-7 record. Win both and it ties Cornell's best record of the past decade (including Kent Austin's final, 4-6, 2021 season. That would be the glass-half-full view.

“Upstairs to an administrative position” sounds like the academic equivalent of a golden parachute. Why does he deserve this? He may be a great guy, but he’s a bad coach and the results support this. Just fire him. He’ll be fine. What am I missing?

Horrible punting by Cornell gives Dartmouth good field position. 1st punt goes 27 yards, and the 2nd punt 16 yards!!!! High school punting is better than this...

I was being nice, but yes Andy has to fire him unless he resigns which I doubt he would.

And a Swiss cheese defense that can stop neither pass nor run. Add a playbook that would have a high school ashamed.

0 first downs and 6 yards total offense. Dartmouth has more than twice as many points as Cornell has yards gained.

The ubiquitous false start on 4th and one. Complete clown show so far.

Year 9 of the David Archer era looks worse than Year 1. Fire ARCHER!!!!!

Women's hockey on at 3. Grab the remote.

Unnecessary roughness with the play well beyond the infraction. No discipline. No offense. No defense. Awful special teams. Anyone see anything good?

Then men’s soccer at 4

Dartmouth 28 - Cornell 0 at the half. Fire Archer!

On the RPI feed, too, so we get a treat.

And the color man is... Dan Fridgen. I assume the son and not the guy who was head coach of the men's team for 12 years.

No, that's the original Fridge, pickled in Pabst Blue Ribbon.

It actually is the coach. Yikes. That's a long fall.

Speaking of long falls, Cornell loses at Hangover 41-6. Total yards were 493 - 181.

Perhaps a new approach is indicated.
