Options to listen or watch Cornell vs. Albany football game?

Cornell does not make it easy to follow our sports with no more WHCU broadcasts and limited streaming coverage this weekend. The only thing I could find on the Albany website is the CAA streaming service, but since I am already paying for ESPN + I don't want to order another service. Let me know if any of you posters have any suggestions? Go Big Red!

apparently it's on Flo, which is a subscription service that i pay for but that's part of the wrestling fanaticism.

Most of flo services are crazy expensive for one-off games

True. Cancellation while paying for one day only was impossible the last time I tried.

Every year I buy season football tickets and donate to the program. Then I sign up for ESPN +. It just drives me nuts I can't even stream or listen to the game on Saturday night. Meanwhile Homecoming is just over two weeks away and I have not received any e-mails or snail mail from the athletic department. Like I said, Cornell does not make it easy to be a Big Red fan.

Cornell’s game notes with the two-deep were posted yesterday.

Not sure you caught it on the two deep, but Cornell's starting DL is especially small this year in weight. Hopefully they are very active and can swarm to the ball on run defense. Whether they can apply enough pressure to the QB on passing plays is another question mark.

Wonder if the weights have been updated - Swanstrom has talked about the big gains the team made in size & strength during the offseason.

At least the SID and AD listen now. This is much better than prior regimes which regarded their relationship with the fans with a piquant mixture of smug superiority and hapless technical ineptitude.

Contact them. Cite a specific issue and why it is a problem for fans. I believe the present regime is actually trying, and judging from the evolution of the SID's products they have far more functioning synapses than their antecedents.

Perhaps a good topic for the zoom town hall today?

does the albany https://zoey1039.com/listen-live/ work for live games?

From watching Dr Moore's town hall today she talked of the cost cuts that the Athletic Dept had to make. Just a guess here but that may be the reason they dumped Grady Whittenburg and cutting ties with WHCU per Cornell ice hockey.

When did Homecoming stop being the first game of the second homestand of the season? Not for Cornell football, necessarily. For the Weltanschauung.

Radio works: [zoey1039.com]

Solid opening defensive stand. Two stops for short gains and a sack. Albany boomed the punt to the 15, though, so long field ahead. Longer after a false start.

Option working with QB runs and the Red are near midfield.

Stopped at midfield, Cornell bluffs going for it on 4th but then Page quick kicks... to the 9! Hell of a punt by a QB to flip the field.

I can't listen to these announcers. I'll check here for updates.

Second Albany drive is punishing. Lot of chunk completions, a necessary DPI on a deep ball and some strong running. Red zone.

Defense stiffens and forces a FG. Good from 32. Albany 3-0, nearing the end of Q1.

I have no issue with the Flo TV guys, if they're different from the radio.

Down 6-0 at the half but we are out of our depth imo. I don't see it getting better in the second half.

Down 6-0 @ ht. Offense really misses Wang. Defense playing fine.

Second half for the Cornell O starts the same as the first. Drive to almost midfield, quick kick punt by the QB on 4th down ... to the 5!

Terrible drop for Woodring on 3d and 12. At least they crossed midfield. Cornell punt went into the end zone, but Albany somehow committed a penalty on a punt with no return, so Albany starts on the 10.

Excellent defensive stand, shanked Albany punt (with a generous roll); Cornell takes over at the Albany 41.

Completions of 13, 12 and 6 and Cornell is knocking on the door...

QB draw to the 7, 1st and Goal... defense holds but the FG is good. Cornell cuts it to 6-3.

Should mention that Cornell is playing Lang and Bass-Sulpezio at QB on alternating drives. Bass-Sulpezio was under center for the scoring drive.

Wasted opportunity to score a TD settling for a FG is not going to get it done in this game.

Devin Page.

Ugh. Cornell had Albany with 3d and 10 at midfield, coverage was perfect, QB took off and broke someone's ankles in the open field to get the first.

But Cornell stands tall; Albany goes for it on 4th and 4 and it's incomplete. Cornell ball at around the 25.

Bass-Sulpezio gets another drive as the hot hand but misses an open Kurtz on third and short and Cornell punts it back. Albany ball at around the 30.

Execution on offense is lacking tonight

I'm not a fan of alternating QBs. No continuity.

At least they weren't shut-out on their first game. I don't see much chance against a strong Yale team next week.

That's the ballgame.

OOOOF. Albany RB Uga gets hit in the backfield but bounces off into an open field and scores from 43. 13-3 Great Danes. 6:09 to go.

Missing their best offensive weapon in WR Sam Musungu is a huge blow to the Cornell offense.

Great drive from Page, finishing with a 6-yard TD from Kurtz. Kurtz had a three catches on the drive including a one hand sideline grab for 24. 13-10 Albany with 3:38 to play. If we get the ball back, I assume Swanstrom will go hot hand again.

But yes, the lack of Musungu really hurts. Kurtz is the real deal as a 6'5 TE though.

Kurtz is terrific, and in Musunga's absence our best offensive player

3d and 4, Cornell brings the house and forces a three and out. Cornell has 2:39 and one time out left. Fair catch at the 30.

Let's go Red.

Great scramble by Page to the 50 for the first down. 1:54 left. (Clock stopped for the 2 minute warning.)

Ugh. Page doesn't get enough air under the ball and an underneath defender reaches up and picks the ball off. He had a receiver open on a sideline route but the ball never made it there. Wrap it up.

Better showing than last year, certainly, at least on the defensive side of the ball.

Never mind this post.

Thank you very much for these updates, ugarte!

How am I, a current Cornell student who gets emails from the athletics department, unaware of this???

Also, team sucks? Skimmed the updates - kudos ugarte.

Have always respected Jared Backus's coaching acumen per defense. He always get the best of talent available. Thought pass coverage was as good as I've seen in a while.

I was at the game and concur that the pass coverage was quite tight overall, although an Albany receive did drop a perfectly thrown bomb that looked like a sure TD in the 4th quarter. CB Michael O’Keefe, who had an INT, was especially good.

Offensively we really missed Wang’s dynamic ability. Page could run a bit, but his passing was meh, while Bass-Sulpizio clearly is the better passer but not much of a runner. Put them together and we’d have another guy like Wang. At running back it seems clear to me that Tucker is the more effective guy, but the coaches seem to like Pope; he’s just so small and can’t break a tackle. The pass blocking was pretty good, as I don’t recall our QB’s getting sacked once. Not much from the WR’s without Musunga, but Kurtz is a terrific tight end and will likely be the go-to guy this season.

The team played hard, but too often shot themselves in the foot with penalties and other mistakes. Not sure how many wins we’ll see, but I liked the fight they showed.

Yale has a much better offense than Albany and Cornell will be hard pressed to keep the game within reach. Cornell's offense has to score more than a couple TDs if they want any chance. I hope we see some of the freshman RBs get some playing time this season. With Pope's size he is more of a gadget 3rd down back, but not the type of RB that can run between the tackles and keep Cornell's defense off the field.

Right. I am hoping to see a 6'2", 210 pound tackle-busting, pile-moving freshman running back unveiled one of these weeks, along with a 6'4" 205 pound freshman quarterback with a slingshot arm. Else we're in for a long season.

First game and kind of what I expected against Albany. While our defense played very well, it was pretty much a lackluster offensive effort, with the exception of the TD catch by Kurtz near the end of the game.

While I like Swanstrom, he pretty much ignores the running game and that was the reason why Albany won and we didn't. The Albany running back rushed for 126 yards. In comparison, Cornell's running backs combined for a total of 47 yards on the ground. The other yards came from QB scrambles. Year after year it's "Rinse and Repeat", whether it's Swanstrom, Archer, Austin, etc. Cornell will never be competitive in the Ivy League without a strong running game. Ithaca is not Florida where you can spread out your receivers and pass for 300 yards every game. When I was at the Columbia game last November their running back rushed for 166 yards and our running backs ran for a "combined" 75 yards. Even though Wang scrambled for 100 yards, we still lost the game. It ain't rocket science but modern coaches want to pretend they are Clemson or LSU. Go Big Red!

Clemson likes to pretend they're Clemson this year.

Same feeling here. I'm hoping we see some of the young RBs they brought as the season progresses to start and develop a more balanced offense,

Starting QB’s are like starting goalies. If you have two, you usually don’t actually have one.
