The Ivies will be highly competitive with each other this year if recruiting classes are any measure.ctbagataway wrote: ↑Tue Oct 17, 2023 10:51 pm I had been hearing rumors that they were mixing up the IL schedule this year, and Cornell’s schedule proves that.

Interesting. The league's game order has been the same since about 2007 I think.

Re: Cornell 2024
My guess is that the change in the Ivy schedule has nothing to do with weather.
Rather...the ADs made the decision for multiple reasons, none of which are really "showstoppers" in my mind.
The changes for Cornell are Princeton (last game to first) and Dartmouth. Harvard moves back two weeks.
In the case of Princeton, perhaps alumni...or coaches, did not want this critical rivalry to be the last game of the regular season every year.

Re: Cornell 2024
Cornell plays at Penn on Saturday March 30th then plays Syracuse 3 days later at home. I wonder if Syracuse has a game the same weekend as Cornell at Penn. I haven't seen a complete Syracuse schedule yet.
Re: Cornell 2024
Monster Trucks are coming to the JMA Wireless Dome on April 6th (Sat).
Re: Cornell 2024
Syracuse historically has played Cornell with a week or so of rest before the game. I hope that changes....laxfan1313 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2023 7:53 am Cornell plays at Penn on Saturday March 30th then plays Syracuse 3 days later at home.

Re: Cornell 2024
It seems to me that this is a very early release of the schedule. Am I mistaken?
Re: Cornell 2024
One more thing. I guess we are about to join the "good losses" camp for NCAA bid criteria.

Re: Cornell 2024
Denver in February has something that Ithaca rarely has: sunshine! Even if it snows, the snow melts in 15 minutes and the sun and low humidity keep you comfortable. The team does have to prepare for playing at altitude, however, but Coach Howley can help with that.faircornell wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2023 12:53 amSo... the solution is Denver in February...

Re: Cornell 2024
Looking forward to that Friday scrimmage versus the Terps.

Re: Cornell 2024
Better late than never - at least compared to other Ivies and elite lax competition.
Except --- this "ain't" no bubble. Rather, with 120 yards of playing field length + seating, it definitely looks like the real deal.
A long way from practicing in the polo barns. Or early early mornings in sub-freezing weather at the Kopf.
I'm sure underclassmen on the current roster feel it can't happen soon enough.
