Cornell head coach Steve Donahue is in his ninth season at Cornell (109-129, .458) ... Donahue became the fourth Robert E. Gallagher '44 Coach of Men's Basketball at Cornell on Sept. 6, 2000.
ITHACA, N.Y. — After a dominant 80-58 victory over Brown last night, Cornell will look to bounce back against the only other conference team with at least two league victories when Yale visits Newman Arena at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 31. The Big Red (13-6, 3-0 Ivy) will face a Yale (7-10, 2-1 Ivy) team desperate to keep pace at the top of the standings after losing to Columbia last night.
Cornell was dominant over the final 35 minutes last evening, methodically picking the Bears apart with 54 percent shooting offensively, while limiting the Bears to 42 percent from the floor and dominating the backboards, 43-25. Louis Dale had a game-high 23 points in just 22 minutes to lead three double figure scorers. Senior Adam Gore also made his return after missing the first 18 games with a torn ACL. He scored three points in 10 minutes of action.
The victory increased its win streak to eight games overall, including a perfect 6-0 in 2009. Cornell has also won 16 consecutive home games and 18 straight Ancient Eight contests.
ABOUT YALE: The Bulldogs dropped their first Ivy League contest of the season last night in a 53-42 loss at Columbia after sweeping travel partner Brown. Yale enters tonight's contest with a 7-10 overall record (2-1 Ivy) after having its five-game win streak snapped. Alex Zampier (13.7 ppg.) and Ross Morin (13.5 ppg., 6.1 rpg.) are both averaging double figures, while Travis Pinick (9.7 ppg., 6.3 rpg.) falls just short. Yale has struggled shooting the ball from beyond the arc (28 percent), but has outrebounded opponents throughout the season. Ninth-year head coach James Jones is the longest tenured head coach in the Ivy League and has posted a 110-131 mark. His team returns one starter and nine letter winners from last season's 13-14 squad that finished fourth in the Ancient Eight at 7-7.
WELCOME HOME: Senior Adam Gore made his triumphant return to college basketball in last night's 90-58 victory over Brown. Just four and a half months after suffering his second torn ACL in two years, Gore played 10 productive minutes, scoring three points, grabbing two rounds and dishing off an assist.
THIRTY IS NICE: Cornell's 32-point win over Brown last night is the biggest margin of victory in its series with the Bears since the 1964-65 Big Red earned a 96-61 contest in Barton Hall.
MORE THIRTY: The Big Red has now won two of its last three Ivy league home contests by more than 30 points, including drilling Harvard 86-53 on March 1, 2008 to wrap up its first Ivy League title in 20 years. Prior to those games, Cornell had not won a league game by 30 points since defeating Columbia 77-47 on Jan. 22, 2005 in Newman Arena. That was the first time the Big Red had collected a league win of 30+ points since the 1985-86 campaign.
• Since entering halftime of the Ivy League opener against Columbia trailing by five, the Big Red has outscored its opponents in all five halves with four coming by double figures.
• Cornell has shot at least 49 percent in each of its three games.
• The Big Red has outrebounded all three opponents by an average of 8.0 rebounds per game.
• Louis Dale is shooting a remarkable 72 percent from the floor (18-of-25), 67 percent from 3-point range (6-of-9) and has hit all 14 free throws. He is averaging 18.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists in just 23.7 minutes per game.
• Four players are averaging double figures in scoring with a fifth at 9.3 ppg.
WITTMAN'S TREY BIEN: Junior Ryan Wittman hit three 3-pointers in last night's win over Brown, giving him 230 for his career. That pushes him into the top 10 in Ivy League history, surpassing Yale's Ed Petersen (229). Next up for Wittman is fellow Cornellian Brandt Schuckman '96, who hit 231. Also within reach is eighth-place Damon Huffman of Brown (232) and Princeton's Sean Jackson in seventh (235). The Big Red's school record is 237 by Cody Toppert '05, who ranks sixth in Ivy history.
CLIMBING ON UP: Junior Ryan Wittman moved into ninth place on the school's career scoring list with his 13-point effort last night against Brown. With 1,225 points, he surpassed Louis Jordan '59. If he can reach double figures for the 20th straight game to open the year, he will move into eight place ahead of Cody Toppert '05, who had 1,232 points in his four seasons. Also immediately ahead of him are Chuck Rolles '56 in seventh with 1,253 points and Shawn Maharaj '92 with 1,257 points in sixth place.
ROBO COMING ON: Freshman Chris Wroblewski has picked up his shooting since returning from Christmas break, and while playing an outstanding floor game all season, has become a major offensive threat. Wroblewski has connected on 56 percent from the floor (19-of-34) overall and 55 percent from beyond the 3-point arc (12-of-22) in his last eight games as the Big Red have gone unbeaten. His 7.3 points per game over that span also punctuates a nearly 2:1 assist-turnover ratio (22 assists, 12 turnovers), while his 22.5 minutes per game over that span ranks fifth on the team.
MOVING ON UP: Head coach Steve Donahue won his 57th Ivy League contest in last night's triumph over Brown, moving into 17th place on the all-time Ivy League coaching wins list. He ranks second among Cornell coaches with only Sam MacNeil's 77 wins from 1959-68 ranking ahead.
EVEN STEVEN: With a victory tonight against Yale, head coach Steve Donahue will even his career Ivy League record at 58-58. It would be the first time in his career that he has a .500 Ivy League record overall since taking over the program in 2000-01.
STREAKING: During Cornell's eight-game win streak, the Big Red has outscored foes by 22.0 points per game (81.1-59.1) and have connected on 53 percent of its shots overall. Maybe more impressive, however, has been the defense. The Big Red is limiting teams to 36 percent shooting from the floor overall and a paltry 29 percent from beyond the arc. Cornell has also outrebounded opponents bu more than seven boards per game (38.5-31.1).
TALL IVY: Over the last two seasons, Cornell's 26-5 record in the best among Ivy League teams in conference action. Penn, who claimed the 2006-07 title, is second at 22-7, followed by Yale (19-12) and Brown (17-14). Other Ivy teams include Columbia (15-16), Harvard (9-22), Dartmouth (8-23) and Princeton (6-23).
KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES: Cornell head coach Steve Donahue has a 16-12 record all-time against the Jones Brothers. The Big Red mentor is 10-2 against Joe Jones' Columbia teams and is 6-10 against Yale with James Jones on the sidelines.
NEXT UP: Cornell will hit the road for its first true Ivy League road weekend when it visits Princeton (Friday, Feb. 6 at 7 p.m.) and Penn (Saturday, Feb. 7 at 7 p.m.). The Big Red will attempt to sweep the weekend against the Tigers and Quakers for the second straight year, becoming just the fifth squad to defeat both teams on the road since round-robin play began in 1957-58.

Sports Network Preview of Yale at Cornell
DATE & TIME: Saturday, January 31st, 7:00 p.m. (et).
FACTS & STATS: Site: Newman Arena (4,473) -- Ithaca, New York. Television: None. Home Record: Yale 4-1, Cornell 8-0. Away Record: Yale 3-9, Cornell 2-5. Neutral Record: Yale 0-0, Cornell 3-1. Conference Record: Yale 2-1, Cornell 3-0. Series Record: Cornell leads, 104-100.
GAME NOTES: Ivy League foes will collide in Ithaca tonight, as the Cornell Big Red play host to the Yale Bulldogs. Yale led Columbia by nine points at intermission last night and appeared to be in position to move to 3-0 in Ivy play. Unfortunately, the Bulldogs only scored 15 points over the final 20 minutes en route to a 53-42 defeat. They are now 7-10 overall and carry a 3-9 record in true road games into tonight's clash. As for Cornell, it crushed Brown by a 90-58 final last night to remain unbeaten in league action. The Big Red extended their school-record home winning streak to 16 games, and they have won 18 in a row over Ivy League opponents. Cornell has won its last eight outings overall and figures to enter tonight's tilt with a wealth of confidence. The Big Red own a 104-100 edge in the all-time series with Yale, which includes an 85-65 triumph over the Bulldogs in the most recent meeting last season.
Heading into last night's clash with Columbia, Yale's Alex Zampier (14.3 ppg) and Ross Morin (14.1 ppg) owned very similar scoring averages. Clearly, those two players were counted on heavily to be productive against the Lions, and the fact that both finished with only four points was both surprising and disappointing. Garrett Fiddler led the way in the setback with a mere eight points, and the Bulldogs connected on a lowly 35.3 percent of their field goal attempts, including 1-of-12 from three-point range. They turned the ball over 20 times and posted a total of only four assists. All of the negatives overshadowed a strong defensive effort as Columbia shot just 38.6 percent from the field.
Ryan Wittman is considered the go-to guy at the offensive end for Cornell, and he carried an average of 19.6 ppg into last night's battle with Brown. Louis Dale (14.4 ppg) and Jeff Foote (12.2 ppg) both carried strong scoring averages into Friday's game as well, and the trio certainly got the job done against the Bears. Dale stole the show with a 9-of-11 effort from the floor, as he finished with 23 points in only 22 minutes of action. Wittman tallied 13 points, while Dale ripped down nine rebounds. The Big Red earned a 43-25 rebounding advantage, including 13-5 on the offensive boards, and they connected on 53.7 percent of their field goal attempts, including 11-of-22 from three-point range.
Considering that Yale lost to Columbia on the road by double figures last night, there is no reason to believe that the Bulldogs will be able to upset Cornell.

Storming the Floor's Ivy League Report
The Favorite
Cornell set up an ambitious non-conference schedule for themselves this year in hopes of improving their NCAA tournament seeding and potentially avoiding an embarrassment like last year when they couldn't hit a shot, got blown out by Stanford, and had their cheerleaders mocked by Bill Simmons.
Anyway, things didn't go as planned when star guards Adam Gore and Louis Dale both went down with injuries before the season started. With freshman Chris Wroblewski running the point in their absence, the Big Red blew double-digit halftime leads against Minnesota and Syracuse, in addition to losing winnable games against St. John's and Siena. However, those games weren't as bad as the biggest humiliation: losing by 15 at Indiana. That game alone cost Cornell any chance at anything better than a 14 seed.
Reigning Ivy League PoY Dale is now back and has put the Big Red on a 7-game win streak, including a home-and-home sweep of Columbia the last two weekends. However, when the team's highlight of the season so far is initiating Jimmy Patsos' descent into madness, things haven't been going as planned. Which is why until last week I had been thinking more and more that the Ivy League title would instead go to…
The Challenger
Harvard had by the best preseason of any Ivy League team. That's due in part to most of the Ancient Eight having just awful preseasons, but mostly it's thanks to the Crimson's big win over then-ranked Boston College. Sure, beating BC hasn't been that hard lately (though don't tell Maryland that), but at the time the Eagles were coming of a huge upset of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and went into the basketball Beanpot riding high. But instead of a follow-up victory, Harvard held Tyrese Rice to 4-10 shooting and Jeremy Lin scored 41 points to lead the Crimson. (Actually, he only scored 27, but with grade inflation, it comes out to 41.)
This was the biggest win for any Ivy League team this year and as such, I was seriously thinking that Harvard was the new favorite to win the Ivy League over Cornell. After all, Cornell's closest call during their perfect Ivy run last year came at Harvard when they needed Alex Tyler to score 6 points in the final 25 seconds to win by 1. The Crimson only lost because they committed two five-second violations in that last half-minute. I guess they forgot that the rules of basketball don't account for Harvard Time.
However, the Crimson just suffered a major blow to their Ivy League title hopes when they lost in overtime to 3-13 Dartmouth at home. The Green's Alex Barnett—the best player in the Ivy League—scored 30 and Lin fouled out in the OT period as Dartmouth earned a split in the travel partner series. The Green are not a good team, so this loss may cost Harvard their shot at the NCAA Tournament. For now, Cornell is still the team to beat.
Penn's preseason did not go so well. The Quakers were expected to be the number one contender to Cornell this season, but they failed to show any of that potential as they lost to everyone else in the Big Five plus Drexel. Penn is uncharacteristically in the bottom half of the league for field goal and 3-point field goal percentage. Sure, none of their losses are especially bad—except maybe the loss at home to Navy—but none of their wins are any good either (one was against New Jersey Tech). Still, things can change in Ivy League play, as they often do for Penn. We'll know when Tyler Bernardini and Co. take on Harvard this weekend.
The Andy Katz Special
Andy Katz made Yale his pick to win the Ivy League based on how close the Bulldogs played Stanford at the beginning of the season, losing only by 8. Katz seemed to forget the fact that the Cardinal team Yale lost to wasn't the same Cardinal team from last year as they had lost their coach and a combined 30 ppg, 14 rpg, 14 feet of height, and 1.2 GPA in the Lopez brothers, but no matter. The Bulldogs, with Andy Katz endorsement, then proceeded to lose 6 of their next 8 games, including one against Bryant a.k.a. the team that lost to New Jersey Tech. The one non-conference bright spot was a win over MIT, which may or may not have involved the use of Flubber.
This past weekend, however, Yale won a tight game at Brown thanks to Ross Morin's double-double. The win gave the Elis a sweep of their travel partner and put them tied atop the early Ivy standings with Cornell. Despite the surprising result, they're still a longshot to finish anywhere higher than fourth in the league and shooting a conference low 28.9% from 3 doesn't help. In order to catch up to the league's top teams, Yale would need to learn more about skill, success, and overcoming adversity. How could they learn about that, while acquiring karate-chopping skills at the same time? Hmm…
Games To Watch
This part is easy. The four top teams I just mentioned are all part of different travel partner groups. So every weekend, two of them will play a game at one of the other two. This weekend, it's Penn at Harvard on Friday and Yale at Cornell on Saturday. Brown at Cornell should be good as well. I predict two things in that last game. First, Brown's Chris Skrelja will continue to annoy the hell out of me with his right-hand only free throws. Second, Cornell's Jeff Foote will miss a dunk despite being 7 feet tall and needing just to stand on tippie-toes to reach the basket. And third, Cornell's student fans will continue to prove their complete lack of passion for sports not on ice by booing the Big Red, even if they win, should they fail to score the 80 points necessary to give everyone in attendance free chicken wings. You're not helping the Andy Bernard comparisons when you do that, guys!
Cornell RPI Watch
Ithaca Journal Recap of Brown, Preview of Yale
By Brian Delaney
The Ithaca Journal
January 30-31, 2009
ITHACA — With reigning player of the year Louis Dale at his table-setting best, Cornell feasted on Brown while delivering its sternest message yet to its Ivy League brethren — dethroning the champs might be even tougher than expected.
Dale was brilliant on both ends of the floor, finishing with a game-high 23 points while shutting down Brown point guard Adrian Williams, and the Big Red romped to a 90-58 victory in front of 3,213 jubiliant fans at Newman Arena.
It was a good night all-around for Cornell (13-6, 3-0), which welcomed back senior guard and co-captain Adam Gore in his first game since an ACL injury suffered in September. The hosts received positive contributions from every player that stepped on the floor and improved its Ivy winning streak to 18 games.
It was Cornell's sixth straight win by double figures, and its 16th straight on a home floor that is quickly becoming a nightmare road trip for opponents.
"That's our motto right now," Dale said. "Play hard, no mercy."
Cornell took control midway through the first half with a 14-0 run, highlighted by seven straight points from Dale on a floater, a smooth pull-up jumper and a long 3. The 5-foot-11 junior guard, who missed the team's first eight games with a hamstring injury, was 9-for-11 from the floor, 2-for-3 from beyond the arc and 3-for-3 from the free throw line. When he drained a fadeaway jumper deep in the corner in front of the Brown bench with Williams in his face, pushing Cornell's lead to 14, the Bears' talented sophomore could only shake his head in exasperation.
"In practice all week, I've just been feeling like every I shot I take is going in," Dale said. "I guess it kind of carried over."
Said Cornell coach Steve Donahue: "He played with great pace. When he's attacking, it's so difficult to guard us."
Dale and his teammates defended pretty well, too.
Cornell turned 18 Brown turnovers into 26 points, held Bears leading scorer Matt Mullery to just one point after halftime and limited 13.3-points per game guard Williams to one meaningless second-half jumper.
Fifteen Cornell players reached the scoring column, spurred by 53.7 percent shooting and 11 of 22 marksmanship from beyond the arc.
Gore's return supplied the perfect emotional boost.
Although limited to 10 minutes, the senior guard's presence was loudly acknowledged each time he stepped on the floor. His first two shots, both 3-pointers, were only inches from finding their mark. But his third attempt was true, evoking a loud ovation from the crowd.
"It felt good," said a relieved Gore, a second-team all-Ivy selection as a junior. "It took the nerves away."
Donahue said the team had exactly 45 minutes to enjoy the win. Then it was off to the film room to look at tonight's opponent, Yale (7-10, 2-1 Ivy). The Bulldogs lost to Columbia in New York on Friday, 53-42.
"In this league, there's no luxury of enjoying Friday night victories," he said.
Notes: In other Ivy men's action on Friday, Princeton won at Dartmouth, 59-54; Penn won at Harvard, 66-60 and Columbia beat Yale at home, 53-42; Wittman (13 points) moved into the Ivy League top 10 for career 3-pointers. With three triples, he moved ahead of Yale's Ed Petersen (229, 1988-92) with 230. Princeton's Brian Earl (281, 1995-99) ranks No. 1. ... Cornell outrebounded Brown, 43-25, led by Jeff Foote's game-high nine boards.
See Also: Live Cornell-Brown updates
Here's a few AP roundups on tonight's other Ivy games for your reading pleasure. Obviously, Penn gets an important first win at Harvard, while Yale's five-game win streak ends in stumbling fashion in New York.
As for Cornell's men, Brown just simply didn't have the horses. As well as Cornell played tonight, Brown just doesn't have any weapons that scare you. Peter Sullivan and Matt Mullery were good in spurts, but Adrian Williams was just completely overmatched by Louis Dale tonight. It's not the first time Dale has done that to an opponent, and it won't be the last.
It just shows how much Damon Huffman and Mark McAndrew meant to that team last year. Those two could get shots whenever they wanted. Brown doesn't appear to have that anymore.
Other random thoughts:
- Adam Wire was great off Cornell's bench. It seemed every time he did something, it was positive. He started that backbreaking 14-0 run in the first half with a steal and fastbreak layup, and just generally played quality defense. Cornell also got very positive minutes out of Brian Kreefer and Chris Wroblewski.
- I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Wroblewski is in the best possible position a freshman can be in. There's no pressure on him to be the first, second or even third option, and he knows that even if he misses a shot or two, or commits a turnover, he or his teammates can always pick themselves up somewhere else. His confidence is just through the roof right now. He finished with 11 tonight on 4 of 6 shooting, 3 of 4 from deep. And they were all wide, wide, wide open looks.
- Adam Gore's return was a very special moment to watch for the players, coaches and medical staff. I did think we saw Cornell's basketball crowd show its infancy as a fan base when he entered the game early in the first half. While the students seemed to recognize the moment, I'd say about half the townies' side had no clue that his substitution carried more meaning than usual.
That's it for now, I think. Enjoy your night, enjoy your wings, and check back in tomorrow for Cornell-Yale.

Last time out: Yale played at Columbia on Friday night. Before that, the Bulldogs swept their season series from travel partner Brown by scores of 70-62 and 57-55.
Last year vs. Cornell: L, 66-45; L, 85-65.
Probable starters: Chris Andrews (5-9, 155, Sr., G), Alex Zampier (6-3, 185, Jr., G), Garrett Fiddler (6-7, 235, Soph., F), Travis Pinick (6-7, 210, Sr., F), Ross Morin (6-7, 225, Sr., F).
Statistically: Zampier (14.3 ppg) and Morin (14.1 ppg) lead the Bulldogs in scoring. ... Yale has won five straight games, including the pair against Brown. ... Jones has multiple options at his disposal off his bench — Porter Braswell (6-0, 185, Soph., G, 20.9 mpg); Jordan Gibson (6-5, 195 Jr., F, 15.1 mpg) and Michael Sands (6-7, 230, Soph., F, 13.4 mpg) and big men Paul Nelson (6-10, 230, Jr., C) and Greg Mangano (6-10, 240, Fr., F). ... Pinick leads the team in assists (3.4). ... Yale shoots a league-worst .289 from the three-point arc. ... Morin and Pinick struggle from the free throw line at .523 (23-for-44) and .466 (27-for-58), respectively. ... Nine of Yale's first 11 games were on the road. ... Yale was picked to finish third in this year's Ivy League media preseason poll, behind Cornell and Penn.
Outlook: Cornell's perfect 14-0 record through the league last year aside, there was no more surprising turn of events than Yale's unexpected downfall (including two blowout losses to Cornell).
The Bulldogs were loaded with talent, including 2006-07 first-team all-Ivy guard Eric Flato, but underperformed, lost seven of 10 league games at one point and finished a disappointing 7-7.
"In terms of Eric, he was a special player," Jones said. "He didn't have a great season for him last year — he had a tremendous junior year, and if we were able to build upon his success as a junior, we certainly could have changed our fate in terms of how we finished last year. I certainly think that was part of our demise."
Led by senior leaders Morin and Pinick, this Yale team appears poised to rattle a few Ivy trees. The Bulldogs have beaten Oregon State and played Alabama tough, and if they can play consistently well, they'll be a threat to Cornell atop the standings. They're also no strangers to playing on the road.
Yale is arguably best equipped physically to defend a player of Jeff Foote's caliber. Cornell's 7-foot center is third on the team in scoring (12.2 ppg) and first in the league in rebounding (6.9 rpg) and blocked shots (2.4).
"They got a big front line, an athletic front line, and good solid guards," Cornell coach Steve Donahue said. "They got a kid like Zampier, who is really playing well and scoring the ball. I think they're a very good team right now. They're playing their best basketball."
Cornell Athletics Recap of Win Against Brown
Box Score
ITHACA, N.Y. – Louis Dale scored 23 points in just 22 minutes to lead Cornell to a 90-58 victory over Brown on Friday evening at Newman Arena. The Big Red (13-7, 3-0 Ivy) extended its Ivy league win streak to 18 games and its winning streak at Newman Arena to a school record 16 games. Brown fell to 6-11 (0-3 Ivy) with the loss.
Dale, the reigning Ivy League Player of the Year, hit on 9-of-11 shots overall and added five assists and four rebounds. Joining him in double figures was Ryan Wittman with 13 points and Chris Wroblewski with 11. The Big Red shot 54 percent from the floor, including 57 percent in the second half.
Peter Sullivan had 15 points and four rebounds to lead the Bears, who shot 42 percent overall. Matt Mullery added 14 points and six rebounds.
Cornell dominated the backboards (43-25) and nailed 11-of-22 shots from 3-point range in picking up the victory. In all, 15 different players scored, including senior Adam Gore, who played his first game after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament just four and a half months ago. The two-time All-Ivy League pick had three points, two rebounds and an assist in 10 minutes.
The Big Red got a solid all-around effort from Jeff Foote (eight points, nine rebounds) and Alex Tyler (six points, five rebounds) down low, while Geoff Reeves and Adam Wire spearheaded the defense on Chris Skrelja, Brown's point-forward. Wire had four points, three rebounds and three steals in 11 disruptive minutes. Brian Kreefer was also exceptional in a reserve role with four points, five rebounds and two assists in 12 minutes.
Brown got off to a good start, keeping the Big Red within arms reach for the first 10 minutes and gaining a five-point lead early (14-9) a little more than five minutes in as part of a 12-2 run. Scott Friske led the way with six points and an assist, but would only score two points the rest of the way. The Big Red regained the lead for goof at 15-14 on a jumper by Dale, who took over in his matchup with Adrian Williams in a battle between two of the top scoring guards in the Ancient Eight. On the following possession, Dale hit a step-back 3-pointer and it was all but over. When it was all over, Cornell had gone on a 14-0 to turn a five-point deficit into a nine-point lead in the span of five minutes.
A layup by Matt Mullery over Foote cut the Cornell lead to 23-16, but this time Dale found Wittman for a trey to push the lead to 10 and the Bears wouldn't see a lead of less than 10 the rest of the way. A dunk by Adam Wire on Dale's fourth assist of the half made it 34-20 with 2:28 left and the lead grew to 18 on consecutive baskets by Dale, Foote and Jason Battle. Only a late Brown 3-pointer by Mullery would close the gap to 40-25 at the break.
Mullery's 13 points on 6-of-8 shooting was the lone bright spot heading into the locker room for the Bears, who were outrebounded 23-10 and made just 1-of-7 from 3-point range. Dale's stat line at the half was an impressive 13 points, five assists and four rebounds in 15 minutes of action. He was joined by eight points from Wittman as eight different players hit the scoreboard.
The second half quickly got away from the Bears, as the Big Red hit the visitors with a wave of players. A 10-4 run boosted the lead over 20, and it methodically built to as much as 37 points. The highlight of the second half came when Gore buried a 3-pointer from just right of the top of the key with 7:22 remaining, earning a second standing ovation. He also received one when he checked into the contest 3:31 into the game as the first Big Red player off the bench. Late buckets by Conor Mullen and Aaron Osgood also got the crowd on its feet, as did a perfectly executed alley-oop pass from Mullen to a flying Andre Wilkins to cap the scoring with under a minute left.
Cornell returns to action tomorrow against Yale at 7 p.m. at Newman Arena. The Bulldogs dropped a 53-42 decision at Columbia on Friday night after starting the Ivy League season 2-0.
Brown Athletics Recap of Cornell's 90-58 Victory
Jan. 30, 2009
Ithaca, New York - Cornell looked like a team ready to defend its Ivy League title, getting a game high 23 points from Ivy League Player of the Year Louis Dale to lead the Big Red to a 90-58 win over Brown Friday night. The win lifts the Cornell to 13-6 overall and 3-0 in Ivy play, while Brown falls to 6-11, 0-3 in the Ivy League.
The Big Red took over the game with a strong inside-outside presence, out-rebounding the Bears by a 43-25 margin, while shooting 50 percent from behind the three-point arc (11-22). Dale's 23 points came on a mix of drives to the hoop and outside shooting. He hit 9 of 11 field goals, including 3 of 4 treys.
Brown was led by sophomore forward Peter Sullivan, who connected on 6 of 12 field goals in scoring 15 points.
Brown had the better of play in the first five minutes, building a 14-9 lead over the Big Red following a lay-up by junior center Matt Mullery. But Cornell answered with a 14-0 spurt to take the lead for good and pull ahead by a 23-14 margin on a lay-up by Jeff Foote with 9:11 left in the half.
Cornell went on to lead by as many as 18 points in the first half, 40-22, after a Jason Battle lay-up. A Mullery trey for the Bears cut Cornell's halftime advantage to 40-25.
Mullery's 13 first half points kept the Bears in the game, while Dale netted 13 first half points for the Big Red.
Cornell opened the second half with a 17-6 spurt to take control of the game, 57-31, on a lay-up by Brian Kreefer with 13:24 left in the game.
Mullery, the Ivy league leader in field goal percentage, finished the game with 14 points, hitting six of nine field goals, while pulling down a team leading six rebounds. Senior Scott Friske chipped in with eight points for the Bears.
In addition to Dale's 23 points, Ryan Wittman scored 13 points, while Chris Wroblewski added 11 points for the Big Red.

Game Preview Center
If all goes according to plan and without technical difficulties-- the Slope TV broadcast of tonight's Cornell vs. Brown game should appear below at 7 p.m.
Cornell Basketball in the News: More on Gore Return
Goodman of FoxSports writes:
Just 4 ½ months after surgery for a torn ACL, Cornell's Adam Gore could return this weekend for home games against Brown and Yale.
``I'll be in uniform," the senior guard told the Ithaca Journal. ``If I'm on the court, that will be up to coach."
Gore averaged 10.2 points last season and is considered one of the top long-range shooters in the Ivy League. His return will certainly bolster Cornell's chances to win its second straight Ivy League crown
Cornell (12-6, 2-0 in Ivy League) is expected to get senior guard Adam Gore back from a knee injury for Friday night's game against Brown. Gore's shooting will help the Ivy leaders, especially with a showdown coming against co-leader Yale (7-9, 2-0) Saturday night at home.
Auto Bid Watch from Storming the Floor
Ivy League: Cornell and Yale (2-0). The Big Red have quite a weekend planned, as they host Brown tonight, and Yale on Saturday. When do they have time to study?
Weekend Preview from the Ivy League Office
PRINCETON, N.J. — After months of non-conference play, and the initial travel partner matchups to kick off the League slate, Ivy League basketball is set to embark on the journey that makes it the most unique regular season in all of college basketball. The grueling back-to-back, Friday-Saturday night schedule is an Ivy tradition, dating back to the early 1950s.
Yale and Brown hit the road for the Columbia-Cornell New York State trip, while Princeton and Penn open their 2009 Ivy campaigns at Dartmouth and Harvard.
Princeton-Harvard on Saturday night will be the featured SIRIUS Ivy League Basketball Game of the Week on SIRIUS 113.
Tonight's action includes Yale (7-9, 2-0 Ivy) at Columbia (5-11, 0-2) -- the 11th all-time meeting between the Brothers Jones'. Yale head coach James holds a 6-4 advantage over younger brother Joe of Columbia, as the Elis gun for their first 3-0 Ivy start since 1999-2000, James Jones' first year in New Haven.
Columbia, who looks to bounce back from consecutive losses to defending League champs Cornell, is still adjusting to life with junior point guard Patrick Foley and sophomore forward Asenso Ampim. The two recently returned to the lineup after missing much of the first half of the season with injuries.
In Ithaca, Ivy title-holders Cornell (12-6, 2-0) enters the weekend versus Brown and Yale riding a 17-game Ivy League win streak, 15-game home win streak and seven-game overall win streak. The Big Red swept both season series' a year ago en route to a perfect 16-0 League campaign. They are led by All-Ivy trio Ryan Wittman, Jeff Foote, and reigning Player of the Year Louis Dale.
Brown (6-10, 0-2) and first-year head coach Jesse Agel dropped their first two Ivy contests to Yale by a total of 10 points, and are in search of only their second road win of the season (1-8). The Bears hope to win at Newman Arena for the first time since 2005-06.
Penn (4-10, 0-0) and Princeton (5-8, 0-0) open their Ivy slates in New England, where they visit Harvard (9-7, 1-1) and Dartmouth (3-13, 1-1).
Penn-Dartmouth on Saturday night will be televised on Comcast Network, formerly CN8.
The Quakers look to rebound from a rocky non-conference schedule that saw them go winless in the Philadelphia Big 5 for the second straight year, while a Tiger win tonight at Dartmouth would give them its first five-game win streak since 2004.
The Crimson and Big Green split their season series, with each winning on the road. For Dartmouth, last week's win in Cambridge snapped an eight-game season losing streak and marked their first win at Lavietes Pavillion in a decade. All-Ivy swingman Alex Barnett, who leads the Big Green in virtually every statistical category, scored a game-high 30 points in 30 minutes on his way to his second Player of the Week honor of the season.
Harvard is led by Ivy Player of the Year candidate Jeremy Lin, who currently averages 18.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and a League-leading 5.0 assists.
All game times this weekend are scheduled for 7 pm tip-offs.

Sports Network Picks Cornell Over Brown
DATE & TIME: Friday, January 30th, 7:00 p.m. (et).
FACTS & STATS: Site: Newman Arena (4,473) -- Ithaca, New York. Television: None. Home Record: Brown 5-2, Cornell 7-0. Away Record: Brown 1-8, Cornell 2-5. Neutral Record: Brown 0-0, Cornell 3-1. Conference Record: Brown 0-2, Cornell 2-0. Series Record: Cornell leads, 65-46.
GAME NOTES: The Cornell Big Red puts a hefty 17-game Ivy League win streak on the line tonight as the squad suits up against the Brown Bears at Newman Arena in Ithaca, New York. Not only has Cornell beaten Ivy League foes on a regular basis, but the team is also sporting a school-record 15-game home win streak as well thanks to an 83-71 victory over Columbia last weekend. Overall, the team is showing a seven-game win streak and has not fallen since taking a 71-67 bow at Saint Joseph's back on December 22nd in Philadelphia. On the other side of the coin, the Bears have won just one of their last nine road tests, one of those being a 57-55 setback to Yale a week ago. The defeat was the second straight and the fourth in five games for Brown, a team that has won back-to-back games just once this season. Cornell has won the last four meetings in the series, giving the Big Red a 65-46 edge since the relationship began during the 1949-50 campaign. The last win for the Bears was a 69-64 decision in Ithaca in 2006.
Matt Mullery tallied a game-high 22 points and produced team-bests of nine rebounds and six blocks for the Bears last week at Yale, but his efforts were not enough to keep the team out of the loss column yet again. Also scoring in double figures for the program was Adrian Williams who dropped in 16 points. Scott Friske accounted for six points, six rebounds and seven of the team's 11 assists. Mullery, the leading scorer in each of the last three games for Brown, is credited with 16.3 ppg this season on a sizzling 61.4 percent shooting from the floor. Mullery is also a tough player on the inside with his 5.6 rpg and 30 rejections. Peter Sullivan and Williams check in with 13.8 and 13.3 ppg, respectively, and they have combined to convert 78 three-point baskets, which means the rest of the roster has made a collective 35 threes over the course of 16 games.
Cornell converted 59.3 percent from the floor in the first half last week versus the Lions at home, but then fell to just 36.4 percent in the second half. However, the Big Red made a splash at the free-throw line after the break with 20-of-21 and finished up the game 30-of-36, thanks to four starters who combined to make 24 of those conversions. Alex Tyler posted 19 points as every starter hit for double figures, followed by Louis Dale and Geoff Reeves with 14 apiece, Jeff Foote contributed 13 points and nine boards and Ryan Wittman tallied 10 points. Playing close to 35 minutes per game, Wittman is one of the top scorers in the Ivy League with his 19.6 ppg, hitting on 82.2 percent at the charity stripe. Dale (14.4 ppg), Foote (12.2 ppg) and Reeves (10.6 ppg) provide ample support in the scoring department, with Foote doing a little bit of everything with his 6.9 rpg, 45 assists and 44 blocked shots in 18 starts. Perhaps most impressive about this team is that it is shooting a collective 41.0 percent from three-point range, which is almost comparable to the 41.8 percent by opponents from the field overall.
All of the trends favor Cornell in this meeting, so it only makes sense to go with the Big Red and its balanced scoring attack.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Cornell 78, Brown 66

O'Reilly called Media Matters "100 percent dishonest"
On the October 21 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, The Radio Factor, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly berated a caller for asking why O'Reilly has not invited Media Matters for America to appear on his show, identifying the caller as a "weasel," a "dishonest person," and "one of these little Kool-Aid-drinking, left-wing idiots." "You want me to legitimize a website that is 100 percent dishonest," O'Reilly said.
Referring to an October 15 Dallas Morning News column [1] (registration required) by Macarena Hernandez that cited an exchange between O'Reilly and a caller as an example of the kind of rhetoric that she said blames immigrants as "the birth of all America's ills," O'Reilly baselessly asserted that Media Matters "takes things out of context, feeds them to fanatical people like Macarena Hernandez, which is where she got her garbage." In fact, Media Matters documented [2] the comments cited by Hernandez. On the April 15 edition of The Radio Factor, a caller asserted that illegal immigrants are a "biological weapon," adding that "that illegal immigration is -- equals and surpasses the impact of 9-11." O'Reilly agreed, opining, "you might be right," and that "you could probably make an absolutely airtight case that more than 3,000 Americans have been either killed or injured, based upon the 11 million illegals who are here."
O'Reilly's comment is the latest in his series [3] of attacks [4] on Media Matters. Numerous [5] requests [6] by Media Matters to appear [7] on his show have, without exception, been denied [8] or ignored.
From the October 21 broadcast of Westwood One's The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:
CALLER: But the point that I want to make today is, you've been talking a lot about far-left smearing websites. I actually went to one of those websites a couple of days ago. They have your audio, they have your video. And I'm kind of surprised that you're still challenging them on their material. So why don't you invite them, like Media Matters, to your show and debate the issues?
O'REILLY: OK. Number one, [caller], you're a dishonest person. Because you're not a big fan of mine. You're not anything, OK? What you are is one of these little Kool-Aid-drinking, left-wing idiots who calls up and under the guise of "Hey, you know, Bill, I like you, I listen to The Factor" -- yeah, yeah, yeah. You're a liar. You want me to legitimize a website that is 100 percent dishonest, that takes things out of context, that feeds them to fanatical people like Macarena Hernandez, which is where she got her garbage. You want me to put them on and legitimize them. All right? Give them notoriety and all of that. See, look, I know your game. You're a weasel, and you're in with other weasels. You're exactly where you should be. Those people will never, ever -- I don't deal with dishonest people. Don't call here again.

The Royal Canadian Mint's 1-ounce Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin has received numerous security and aesthetic enhancements since its original release in 1988. Along with having the highest purity ever produced in a government mint's 1-ounce silver bullion coin at 99.99% pure, the Silver Maple Leaf has the highest face value of any comparable silver bullion coin on the market at 5 Canadian dollars. Its iconic heritage following the success of the original Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin has made it one of the world's most popular silver bullion coins. It is legal tender backed by the Canadian Government, who also guarantees the purity, weight, and content of the coin.
The RCM has equipped every 2016 Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin with three advanced security features: radial lines, a micro-engraved maple leaf, and Bullion DNA Anti-Counterfeiting Technology. Light radial lines emanate in the background of both the reverse and the obverse of the coin. The line width and pitch of the precise pattern are exactly the same on every coin because of meticulous machining processes and micron measurements. Thus, the addition of this background results in a substantial reduction in the feasibility of counterfeit reproduction. To further protect the authenticity of the Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin, a small maple leaf mark is micro-engraved with laser technology onto the coin's reverse. The number "16," only visible under magnification, is located in the center of the textured maple leaf to indicate the coin's year of issue. Bullion DNA Anti-Counterfeiting Technology – DNA meaning digital non-destructive activation – is a revolutionary registration system that utilizes security marks and algorithm encryption. Using the proprietary Bullion DNA Reader and software, a Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin's authenticity can be verified instantly.
The obverse of the 2016 Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin features the most recent effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. In the right-facing portrait, designed by Canadian artist Susanna Blunt in 2003, Her Majesty is portrayed without her crown, a choice that was also made by her father, George VI, in his 1937 effigy. Engraved around her image is the face value of the coin, the year of its minting, and Her Majesty's name, "Elizabeth II."
The maple leaf has been displayed as a symbol of Canada since the eighteenth century, but it gained recognition as the official emblem of Canada in 1965 with its placement on the nation's flag. In unison with the Gold and Platinum Maple Leaf bullion coins, the reverse of the 2016 Canadian Silver Maple Leaf features the RCM's original 1988 maple leaf engraving. The maple leaf illustration is profoundly depicted with sharp borders, crisp veins, and deep shadowing. "Canada" reads boldly across the top, following the curvature of the coin in the same style as the English and French listing of the coin's purity at the bottom: "Fine Silver 1 Oz Argent Pur." The numeral arrangement "9999" appears on both the left and the right of the maple leaf to further signify the rate of the silver's purity. The design of the reverse has remained practically unaltered since its original release.
The 1-ounce Canadian Silver Maple Leaf is 38 mm in diameter and 3.29 mm thick.

Disney (DIS) has filed three patents for drones that would be used in the company's theme parks.
Disney's three drone patent application were filed on August 21. The patents describe using drones in the theme parks for aerial display systems, floating projection screens and marionettes held and animated by drones, reports Reuters.
According to the patent applications, the Disney drones would be synced up to each others' movements to avoid in-air collisions. The drones would also be monitored from the ground. These drones could replace previous floating puppets that were held and animated by hot air balloons, Reuters notes.
"Other displays may use aircraft such as blimps dragging banners or even large display screens," one of the patents reads, according to Business Insider. "While useful in some settings, these aircraft-based displays typically have been limited in size and use only a small number of aircraft and display devices."

Environmental Graphics and Icon Development
Since 1865, WPI has endeavored to educate men and women in science and engineering and encourage them to apply their knowledge in ways that would benefit society. To highlight this mission, we were commissioned to design a series of graphics depicting 12 areas in which WPI alumni have made positive contributions throughout the world. These icons would be put on permanent display in the school's new Campus Center.
Given the number of graphics and how they would be exhibited (on a wall), we focused on creating a series in which each individual icon would complement the others. A simple presentation successfully accommodated the wall display.

Anterior Cervical Discectomy
What to Expect After an Anterior Cervical Discectomy
After the patient comes round from the general anaesthetic they may be given a soft cervical collar to wear to support the neck muscles for a couple of days whilst they begin to heal. Longer term use of a collar is inadvisable as it can lead to muscle atrophy and weakness with further problems for the neck. After a few hours rest the patient is usually able to walk a little way and gradually increase the duration of the activity, resting whenever discomfort occurs. It is important to try to get moving as soon as possible to avoid the risk of thrombophlebitis. The patient usually remains in the hospital for monitoring and may be given IV fluids. This is because patients may find it initially a little difficult to swallow and may choose to consume liquid foods for a few days until any swelling goes down.
Side Affects of Surgery
Some patients find that they experience a little hoarseness in the throat from an anterior cervical discectomy as the tissues in the larynx may be slightly inflamed due to their proximity to the cervical spine and the area operated on. This should be temporary, but on rare occasions may persist.
The patient will be given instructions by their surgeon or physician in order to promote a prompt and healthy recovery. The surgical dressing is likely to stay in place for a number of days, or longer as appropriate, and the patient will be able to shower the day after their surgery whilst keeping the dressing in place to protect the incision.
Monitoring the Patient
Making sure that the medical team is notified of any changes in the patient's condition is very important to ensure that any pathological changes are quickly recognized and dealt with optimally. Sudden onset of acute neck pain also in the arms, shoulders, or hands requires immediate medical attention, as does any development of fever, swelling of the neck, or any leaking of fluid from the surgical incision.
Patients usually stay in the hospital for a few days after surgery, depending on their rate of recovery and the care available for them at home. To aid their recovery gentle walking is advised, and then climbing of stairs as they feel able. Taking things slowly and stopping any activity that causes pain is the best way to allow the body to heal after an anterior cervical discectomy..

Dear Wendy: "I Had A Threesome And Got Knocked Up"
I'm 25 years old and just found out that I'm pregnant … after having a threesome with an old fling and his roommate one drunken night. People don't know about this secret sexual life I lead, and it's truly going to rock the world of my conservative family. I'm against abortion and at a loss for how to handle this. How the hell am I supposed to tell my mother why I don't know who the father is? Do I tell the guys? Could I keep this baby and have to explain that I need a paternity test to figure it all out? I know I got myself into this mess and I fully take responsibility. I'm just in need of some guidance on how to tackle it. I want what's best for the baby. — Three's a Crowd
First things first: get a check-up, STD tests, and have your pregnancy confirmed by a doctor if you haven't already. Regardless of all the emotional and relationship complications here, your health — and the health of your unborn baby — is top priority. I happen to be pro-choice and, fortunately, a pregnant woman has more choices than abortion or keeping her baby. If you truly want to do what's best for the baby, I hope you'll explore all options before settling on one. Speaking to someone at a family planning clinic, like Planned Parenthood, can help you review your options and choose the one that's best for you. A trained professional can also talk to you about DNA testing — both pre- and post-natal — including the benefits or possible risks to you and the baby you're carrying. Even if you decide to give the baby up for adoption, you may want/need to conduct a paternity test in case the baby or its adoptive parents want to know who the biological father is, as well as his lineage and family health background.
That brings us to telling the two guys you had a threesome with. As I reminded "Pregnant and Terrified" last week, whose booty call got her pregnant, you aren't the only person responsible for this pregnancy. Not only should you not deal with the consequences alone, but if you're going to bring a baby into the world, the biological father deserves to know about it. If you decide to keep the baby, you may want to ask for financial help in raising it. There may even be potential for a father-child relationship you'd be depriving them both of if you keep the information to yourself.
Finally, know that your situation, while unique, isn't exactly rare. In a relatively sexually liberated society like ours, plenty of babies are conceived outside monogamous relationships. All you have to do is watch one episode of "Maury" to know this sort of thing — not knowing who your baby's father is — happens all the time. Your conservative family doesn't have to know the details — they don't need to know about the threesome. They really don't even need to know anything about the father. Depending on how you decide to proceed, you can tell them that you got pregnant by someone you aren't in a serious relationship with and don't plan on marrying or co-parenting with him so his identity isn't important and you want to keep it private. You're a grown woman and their approval, while nice to have, isn't necessary for, like, your survival or emotional well-being. If you can't turn to your family, turn to your close friends for moral support. It's times like these you learn who's there for you. Good luck.

NEWCASTLE'S chief executive, Matt Gidley, yesterday assured the ARLC that Nathan Tinkler was committed to the club - but officials believe there are enough safeguards in place to ensure the survival of the Knights even if he changes his mind.
Gidley contacted the ARLC after Tinker's Hunter Sports Group, which owns the Knights, announced the Newcastle Jets were withdrawing from the A-League due to a falling out with Football Federation Australia.
While Gidley told NRL officials they had no reason to be concerned, the Knights deal with Tinkler guarantees $10 million per year funding until 2021 and provides members the first right to buy the club if he wants out.
''The Knights have contacted us today to assure us this move has nothing to do with the Knights and Nathan Tinkler's full commitment to the Knights,'' the ARLC's chief executive, David Gallop, said. ''The Knights' arrangement with the Tinkler group contains some important safety nets so that the old Knights entity can step back in with guaranteed funding should a problem ever arise.
''But the fact is the Knights are performing very well under the private ownership model and we are not concerned.''
Knights chairman Paul Harragon gave similar assurances in a statement to the club's members. ''I wish to remind members and supporters that the Newcastle Knights also have a $20 million bank guarantee in place with the Hunter Sports Group that assures the Newcastle Knights' future.
''The Newcastle Knights will continue to operate as normal and the management and team are fully focused on preparing for this weekend's match.''

I'm wanting to update the local version of PHP on my Mac.. i've been doing some digging and got a little confused.
If i run php -i from the terminal it says:
$ php -i
PHP Version => 5.3.15
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc
Loaded Configuration File => (none)
I was sure i had 5.4 installed so ran phpinfo();
PHP Version 5.4.5
Loaded config file: /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini
A problem i'm having is i can't seem to make any php.ini file work, i'm getting lots of
Notice: Undefined index:
errors, so error reporting is too high, but no matter how many php.ini files i find and edit it's not taking effect..
I have no idea which version of PHP is being used or why there is two.
Is it possible to disable or remove one of them so i know exactly whats going on, and then i can update it to a newer version?
okay, you have two versions installed (this is true for linux too).
First you need to establish where php5 is located and where it's configuration files are at (try running whereis php5) -- mine is located at /etc/php5.Next you need to edit the php.ini that is inside the configuration folder (there may be an apache2, cli, and conf.d folder inside the php5 configuration folder).
Open the appropriate php.ini and find the following:
error_reporting =
Personally, I like my dev machine reporting too much, as that will only help you write better code. However, if that is not what you want, change it to E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
hmm thats strange i managed to find it in /usr/local/php/lib/php.ini - modified and it worked, strange thing is i modified it yesterday and it didn't work?
is it easy enough to upgrade this 5.4 installation to 5.5?
It doesn't surprise me that the location of your ini file was different, mine was based on Linux setups, so I was sure yours would still be different, just didn't know how much different (another thing to keep in mind is if you want Apache to see the difference you have to restart apache).
As for 5.5, that is still very much in beta and likely doesn't have binaries for all operating systems yet, so unless you are comfortable with building from source or you desperately need a feature from 5.5, I'd recommend using 5.4 for now.

MONTREAL (Apr. 15)
Canada's new immigration regulations were lauded here by the national executive committee of the Canadian Jewish Congress. In a resolution adopted, the leaders of the CJC expressed the hope that the new regulations will be carried out in a way which would give effect to their "spirit and intent."
Mrs. Ellen L. Fairclough, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, issued a statement declaring: "The most important effect of the new immigration regulations is to make it possible for any qualified person, from any part of the world, to be considered for admission to Canada, without regard to his race, color, national origin or the country from which he comes. The main qualifications are education, training and skill.
"If a person has these qualifications, and has sufficient means to maintain himself until he finds employment in Canada or, alternatively, if he is coming to approved employment or to set up a business, to establish himself in agriculture or to practice a profession, he is admissible, if in good health and character," the statement said.

Gerard Butler Defeats Jimmy Kimmel in "Twofie" Faceoff

The "PS I Love You" hunk was in great spirits as he challenged Kimmel to a "Twofie Shootout" and Jimmy was definitely up for some friendly competition.
First off, Kimmel managed to take 13 twofies with the random folks milling around outside his studio, though there were others that didn't quite make the cut.
However, Gerard proved to be the superior twofie talent, as he snapped 15 qualifying shots before the 30-second timer went off.

There comes a time in every season when they seem to snap out of their slumber and say, "Enough is enough, let's get this show on the road".
They trundle along week after week in a win-some, lose-some frame of mind, displaying all the idiosyncrasies of that well-worn Aussie saying, "She'll be right, mate!"
Well, I can tell you everything was all right yesterday and by the 50-minute mark the bookmakers were already reframing their NRL premiership betting markets.
They played the last 20 minutes or so with a Harlem Globetrotters mentality but by this time they were confronted with a Newcastle defence that had lost its spirit and physical presence.
They began the game in a totally different frame of mind.
Aware that the Knights usually play their best and fastest football in the first 25 minutes, Bulldogs coach Steve Folkes decided to start the game with his old warrior Steve Reardon and kept his game breaker, big Willie Mason, on the bench.
They wanted to dominate the Knights physically and make sure they got through the opening stanza with their line intact.
Not only did they succeed in keeping the Knights tryless, but they were able to post a couple of converted tries themselves.
Every player in the Bulldogs' team was running with purpose and no one accepted a tackle.
There was no science to their play. They beat men with strength and power. If they didn't beat them, they would bounce off them and pass the ball to a teammate.
Centre Ben Harris and winger Matt Utai typified this aggressive approach. Both these men are built close to the ground, with legs like tree trunks, seemingly driven by V8 engines. They ooze power. They intimidate their opposition. Defenders are caught in two minds as to whether they even want to attempt head-on tackles on these players or get out of their way. Their hesitation is obvious and is usually punished.
With the Bulldogs in total control at 12-2, Mason was injected into the fray and his impact was immediate. When he stretched out and slammed the ball down beside the posts to make it 18-2, he was rushed by fellow players in a show of unity that warmed the hearts of the Bulldogs' fans in the grandstands.
Their team was back in business. There was intent in everything they did. The Bulldog bite was back and the fans were loving it.
If you could bet in running, then the body language of the Knights' players would've had you hurrying to back the Dogs at any price.
But the most significant statement made by the Bulldogs yesterday came early in the second half when they were forced to defend six sets of six in a row on their own line, including four line drop outs.
Now remember the Knights are no slouches when it comes to manufacturing a try and in this little period they threw everything in their repertoire at the Bulldogs' defence.
The Dogs, however, refused to buckle, and even though the Knights had the ball, you would swear at times that it was the Bulldogs doing the attacking. They weren't just hanging on. They were getting off their line and belting the Knights.
After defending for what seemed like an age they finally got the ball and within six tackles they scored a try of their own at the other end of the field.
By now the crowd was in a frenzy and the Knights were a mentally beaten team.
There is no more intimidating place to be than out on the field playing first-grade football when you are beaten and there is still 30 minutes left to play.
The Newcastle players became isolated. The only company each player had was the little voice in his head wishing to hell this torture would end. Their only chance to save an embarrassing scoreline was if the Dogs got bored or took it easy on them.
The Bulldogs took no pity. There had been enough fumbling around from them already this season. It was that time of year again. Time to get serious. Time to make their charge.
Here come the Dogs.

He says, "This sign was all over Kigali, outside small groceries, gas stations, and any other local equivalent of the convenience store, and it always made me smile. Somehow I couldn't help but imagine they had these big tubs of the stuff sitting around on shelves. You come in, maybe carrying a cardboard box or a plastic bag, and they pour you a bunch, with lots of little sparks dripping down the sides, and you go on your way."
