Re: Dartmouth at Cornell Varsity Football, November 16, 2024 - 19 days ago

Was relieved Wang got up from the second quarter hit that resulted in an ejection on the targeting call (I heard it, but did not see it). Not much else to be relieved by here, but would agree that the final score did not account for the closeness of the game throughout. Cornell's D held earnestly through the first half, despite the lopsidedness of the ToP battle, but was clearly worn down towardsby tycho - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2024 - 2 months ago
Trotsky Am I crazy. I thought Homecoming was always (or usually) the first home game after a road game after a home game. It's been the home opener for the past several years, even in years in which the season opener was at home (VMI in 2021, Bucknell in 2015). Last it was not was the Brown game in 2017 (which, interestingly, was the third of three straight home games).by tycho - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2024 - 2 months ago
A signature win for Swanstrom. Reminds me of the 2016 homecoming win against Yale--the turnovers, the flashy plays, Yale's lousy secondary. That team went on to defeat (ranked, in the Coaches Poll) Colgate on the road the week following. That's a cautionary tale, I suppose, and it's a shame Wang won't be on the East Hill to build around over these next few years after this one, but the future ofby tycho - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2024 - 2 months ago
arugula Columbia all over Lafayette. shocking And won, 31-20. Very impressive showing for them and their young QB. Big Red need to fix the penalties on offense. Playing behind the sticks the entire second half. Not to mention the woes on defense. A lot of work to be done, but it will take time. Brown (and perhaps Columbia) maybe turning the corner.by tycho - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2024 - 2 months ago
Ken711 arugula Kind of astonishing that he called out Archer and staff. Not sure what that says about Swanstrom and if he’s going to openly attack his students. Not a good look. Sounds like he’s lowering expectations to cover his ass. When Al Bagnoli went to Columbia he did not do that. He let the record of the prior group speak for itself. Classy.

Re: Cornell football 2024 - 2 months ago
Colgate's quarterback, Michael Brescia, is a dual-threat (not unlike Jameson Wang). Watched a couple of impressive pocket bail-outs followed by equally impressive speed from Brescia last evening against Akron. Watch for this next week if Cornell's secondary looks anything near as abysmal as last year's. The interview with Swanstrom was interesting.

Chris '03 Not worth a new thread but former Cornellian Jalyx Hunt was drafted in the third round tonight. He finished his career with two years at... Houston Christian. As was C Hunter Nourzad, in the fifth round. Transferred to Penn State as a graduate for his last two years of eligiblity.by tycho - Other Sports

Wow. Really should've set a reminder and a block of time for this one. A 30-5 run is remarkable. I'm going to have to go back and watch in full. Will next have a chance to avenge men's hockey in Hanover Friday night.by tycho - Other Sports
Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 11 months ago
RMU 44.4% on 3-pointers, and rebounds abounded. Seemed like it was higher than that, and I think it was for a while. Remarkable that the Big Red found themselves down by only five at the half, the way the momentum felt in the first half. RMU was absolutely abysmal from the line, and it cost them badly. A small, but vocal, Cornell contingent I'm pleased to report.by tycho - Other Sports
Re: New Cornell football coach search - 12 months ago
dbilmes That didn't take long! They must have had in mind for a while. Have to move quickly, so as to minimize disruption to recruiting. But Swanstrom's a natural fit. I expect the interest was mutual right off the bat. Edit: Football Scoop reports that Yale co-DC Jay Anderson was a finalist as well.by tycho - Other Sports
Re: Dan Swanstrom new Cornell head football coach - 12 months ago
A familiar name, and a great hire in my lay opinion. Ken711 called it. Looking forward to seeing how Mr. Swanstrom and the program follow through. rss77 Was told that Cornell is going to be pouring in more resources into football but have no idea what that entails. I am hopeful that this is more than greasing up the donor works in tandem with bringing in a new coach. But no doubt there willby tycho - Other Sports

Trotsky I'd like to think he was offered a position with the university. He couldn't cut it as the HC but as someone said above he bleeds Carnellian and white, and that's worth something to me. +2.

Re: Cornell football 2023 - 1 year ago
What a good story it would have been had Archer been the one to restore the Cornell football program to something resembling respectibility. But it was not to be, and practicality must take the place of sentimentality (to the extent any such thing exists as far as Archer is concerned). And practicality tells us that it's time for Cornell and for Archer to move on. I wish him well, but he is a faiby tycho - Other Sports

Re: Cornell football 2023 - 1 year ago
tycho arugula Dartmouth is a great story. Certainly is. Good for them. Thrilling finish to the Ivy League football season, a finish with which the Big Red of course had nothing to do. Though, as I type that, Cornell's thrilling early road upset against Y mattered in the end... maybe that'll be the PR headline tomorrow... Big Red leads League from behind, helps determine split title.by tycho - Other Sports

arugula CAS Yards in 1st half - Columbia 298, Cornell 75. Is Cornell playing the Georgia Bulldogs? H-Y or Y-H in my house is a great game. If Y holds on, the League title splits three ways. Dartmouth up huge on Brown late, 38-13.by tycho - Other Sports

Re: Cornell football coach - 1 year ago
Archer generally doesn't stir the pot, and I think that's why he sticks around. He's the poster child of the administration's disinterest in football. Seems to me the bigwigs over Nicki Moore are perfectly content to keep him on.by tycho - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2023 - 1 year ago
Local Motion Penn dominated Cornell with their running game. I think their freshman RB had something like 260 rushing? I am not sure if I read that yet. That is correct. Of course, 164 of those yards came on a combined two scoring plays, of 68 and 96 yards, respectively.by tycho - Other Sports

Ken711 tycho I’d have to go back and look, but it seems like very nearly all of the TDs against Cornell over the past couple of weeks have been >50 yarders. Hard to watch. This goes way back to Archer's decision to hire Jared Bakus as his DC. Bakus was the Princeton DC before Cornell hired him, and Princeton was planning to fire him after Princeton went 1-9, 1-9 and 5-5 in his 3 seasons theby tycho - Other Sports
