Big Bad Love

There are many different reasons to see a particular film. Maybe it’s an actor you really admire. Or it’s been highly acclaimed. Or you’ve heard a part of it is especially interesting. In this case I’d point to the violent mood swings and alcoholic fits of rage the main character Barlow suffers through.

F. Hockey Sweeps Weekend Games

By wpengine September 30, 2002

The field hockey team improved to 2-0 in conference play and 5-2 overall this weekend, as it ended a month-long homestand with wins over Yale and Rhode Island. Cornell proved once again that persistence pays off. Despite failed penalty corners, the team was able to recover possession and maintain a strong offensive front. Such efforts resulted in two goals this weekend. The first was from junior back Kimmy Gardner as Cornell defeated the Yale Bulldogs, 2-1. Yale goalkeeper, Krissy Nesburg, was able to stop Cornell’s penalty corner in the 15th minute. What she failed to stop was the rebound. Junior attack Lindsay Grace regained control of the ball and fed it to Gardner. Fighting heavy traffic, she rifled a shot to put the Red on the board. Junior attack Carissa Mirasol would later find Grace for a second Cornell goal. Yale scored its lone goal two minutes later. The Bulldogs created a lot of pressure and drew junior goalkeeper Kaitlin Tierney away from the net. Yale then took advantage of the opening and scored. The Bulldogs would have to be satisfied with one goal as Cornell’s defense shut down all other offensive efforts. As a whole, the Red backfield limited Yale to just two penalty corners. Tierney also came up strong with five saves on the day. Cornell’s winning ways continued as it rolled over the Rhode Island Rams by a final score of 3-1, yesterday afternoon. Cornell’s offensive doggedness continued as it opened up the game with an early penalty corner. Though the team was not able to score on the initial shot, senior attack Sarah Rosenbaum recovered the ball and took a shot which sailed up and over the shoulder of the Rams keeper. A perfectly executed penalty corner afterwards gave Rosenbaum her second goal of the game, and left both Mirasol and senior captain Sarah Nordstrom with assists. “The opportunities were just there,” said Rosenbaum of her two-goal performance. Head coach Michelle Tambroni did not reflect Rosenbaum’s modesty. “She’s great,” said Tambroni. “Rosie is our most consistent player from game to game.” The senior scoring parade continued in the second half. Midfielder Annie O’Rourke connected with a pass from Grace to score at 36:27. Cornell continued to dominate the game until later in the half when Rhode Island slowly worked its way downfield and earned a goal off of a penalty corner. The Rams earned more corners in the final minutes but were unable to convert them into goals. Head coach Michelle Tambroni was extremely satisfied with her team’s efforts from the weekend. “I’m very proud that they’re finally playing our game,” said Tambroni, who with a month’s worth of experience looks to focus on the finer points of competition. “We need to play a full 70 minutes,” said Tambroni. “There are mental errors that we need to clean up. We shouldn’t be allowing penalty corners in the final minutes of play.” Cornell will be on the road this week, playing Colgate and Columbia. The Red returns to Schoellkopf field on Tuesday, Oct. 8 against Syracuse.Archived article by Matt Janiga
Sprint Football Romps Princeton Tigers, 22-10

By wpengine September 30, 2002

The sprint football team hosted Princeton on Friday night through heavy downpour brought on by what appeared to be the storm of the century. The Red’s new and improved offense, fueled by a Spurrier-like decision to alternate play between two quarterbacks, helped the Red topple the Tigers of Princeton, 22-12. After last week’s disappointing start — a loss to Pennsylvania — Cornell used its home-opener to prove it still has what it takes to get the job done in fashion. Legendary head coach Terry Cullen made the decision to start from scratch and draw up a new offensive plan against the Tigers. In the previous game against Pennsylvania, starting quarterback Charlie Tam, who stands in the shadow of the offensive line at 5-5, struggled to spot receivers downfield and get passes over the linemen. This week, Cullen ran his offense from a shotgun formation, allowing Tam enough room to see downfield and even run the option when nobody was open. Run was what Tam did best, with 61 yards on 15 attempts. Also in the rotation, freshman quarterback Alec Macauley helped spark the Red’s offense with over 60 yards passing in the second quarter alone, including a 19-yard touchdown strike to junior wide receiver Mike Ormsby. Cornell place kicker Chris Garnic helped add some points for the Red with three field goals (24, 31, 38) and an extra point. Freshman running back Dan Tomaszewski also put points on the board with a two yard touchdown run early in the game. The Red’s defense was led once again by the standout performance of senior linebacker Eric Eisenhart, who collected 17 tackles and a blocked extra point attempt. Princeton quarterback Dennis Bakki managed to throw for over 180 yards of offense and was constantly plagued by the efficiency of the Red secondary. The Sprint team hosts the midshipmen of Navy on Oct. 11 at Schoellkopf Field.Archived article by Adam Zwecker
