Big Red Ranking

If you go on Facebook, every Cornellian there will be wooping it up with a #25 in their status.

This is in reference to Cornell cracking the college basketball rankings for the first time in program history. Only ranked #25 in the coaches' poll, yes, BUT CORNELL IS RANKED, SO GIVE ME A HAPPY DANCE!


Thank you, Stimpy.

I am, of course, thrilled. This is a huge moment for the otherwise hockey-and-lacrosse-heavy Cornell sports program, and while we're not quite here yet, it's a nice feeling nonetheless. I would only ask that non-Cornellians use restraint when making Andy Bernard jokes. Remember, we're in a recession.

As ESPN's Eamonn Brennan says:
This is good news for a variety of reasons. The first? It's always good to see the Ivy League in the national picture. The second? Kids at Ivy League schools have it pretty rough, sports-wise and this is something to rally around. Third? More Andy Bernard jokes! There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Damnit, what did I say about Andy Bernard jokes?
