    Congrats on the year so far.

    Maybe by next week, they can crack the AP Top 25 (currently #27 in the AP Poll).
    I collect Vintage Cards, Commemorative Sets, and way too many vintage and modern player collections in Baseball (180 players), Football (175 players), and Basketball (87 players). Also have a Dallas Cowboy team collection.

    First non Penn or Princeton team since 1970 to make the top 25. It will be fun this year but their coach has already been rumored for some other jobs. I can't see him lasting more than 1 more season with a team that has 0 scholarship athletes. Thats right, in the Ivy's you don't get a scholarship for sports only based on need and academics.

    When you said this I was imagining some young up and comer first year coach. When I looked him up I found out this is his 10th year at Cornell as head coach, and only his 3rd winning record (coming in these last 3 years). I wonder what took him so long to establish himself? Normally you see guys make drastic turnarounds in their 2nd or 3rd season, not their 5th as he did (when they started gaining consistency in conference play).

    Whatever he's doing though is obviously working.

    and this thread probably guarantees they lose their next game....seems to always happen that way.

    He had a hard time recruiting as you can imagine at a school like Cornell your talent pool is limited. He also installed a new type of offense and defense and that also took some time to get the right players. They are like a little mini Butler for comparison.

    I played Polo at Cornell and we have won like 15 championships but nobody really cared that much image.
