FB: American Rivers Conference

Old Dutch and 89.1 your picks are not up yet don't forget them.

A bit of trivia on the eve of the oldest football rivalry west of the Mississippi:

Coe hasn't started out 0-2 since 1990. After losing to Wartburg 45-21 and Simpson 42-21, the 1990 Kohawks won eight straight for the Midwest Conference championship.

More trivia (this one's good):

A winless Kohawk football team hasn't faced Cornell since 1970. After losing their first six, Coe lost to Cornell 3-2 (what a game!) before rebounding with three big wins to end the 10-year Glenn Drahn coaching era. Wayne "Phiz" Phillips assumed the helm in 1971.

Looks like I will watch my first video webcast tomorrow instead of being in Decorah for the Luther/UD game.  My brother-in-law and his family let us know this afternoon they are visiting tomorrow instead of the 27th when we had a birthday party planned for about 2 months.  So I have been told I will be over to my in-laws instead of having fun and taking our son to his first live football game. 

Oh well, good luck to all the IIAC teams tomorrow and everybody have a safe day out.  Remember to have fun. 

Thats to bad Doolittle, I was looking forward to meeting you and sending your son home with some Norse athletic wear. It's no wonder in-laws get a bad reputation. It looks like a shorts and sandles day tomorrow, I'll be the geek with the cammo baseball cap around the "hot dog stand" around 12:30. After the game, probably go to the Americana to eat and replenish any lost fluids. Hope to meet you oldNorse, LC, Floyd.

In 1966, Coe was 0-4 before getting its first win in a 16-0 beating of Cornell. The Kohawks went on to finish 3-5.

[Charlie Kohawk]

Cornell has yet to beat Coe in the 21st century! The series began in 1891.

[Charlie Kohawk]

The Coe-Cornell game hasn't been the third game of the year since 1953. The Dick Clausen coached Kohawks prevailed 41-14 en route to a 5-2-1 season.

This ends my research.

They like Wart 14-13

Of course...home paper bias...

Was bored and decided to check out Cornell and Coes rosters. Cornell has 15 Iowa guys. Coe has 73 give or take a few...I started skimming it when the count got past 40. Cornell has 63 players total! That number is actually up from two years ago when I believe they had 51...and with injuries and some people quitting I think it was down further than that by the end of the season.

[Ash Park]

Cornell brought in 25 freshmen. In Dillons first year he only brought in 9.

[Ash Park]

The last time Cornell and Coe played this early it was in 1974.

[Ash Park]

Coe holds a 62-51-4 edge against the Rams in the all-time series, which dates back to an 82-0 Cornell victory in 1891.

[Ash Park]

Coe has won 8 in a row against Cornell. That is the longest winning streak in the series for either team.(Going by memory on this one, for some reason I couldn't open up the all-time scores tab on the Cornell website)

[Ash Park]

Ok so this will be my 300th post so I can stop being so post happy now 

Good luck to all of the teams tomorrow except of course Coe! I hope everyone comes out injury free even Coe.

Is this really what you guys do for kicks on a Friday night?  That's a little sad.
