Non-subscribers: If you enjoy visiting the Blog (and the site meter suggests a lot of you do) please consider tossing something into the GREEN ALERT TIP JAR. I put a lot of time and effort into digging up material for this site, which has had postings every single day since the beginning of last August, Christmas and Thanksgiving included. Move over Cal Ripken! ... Anyway, I'd kind of hoped that non-subscribers who appreciated being able to access the Blog (and get full coverage of spring football) for free might drop a few shekels into the jar, but alas the only noise it has made in several months was when I convinced my mother to toss a fiver into it to see if it was working. (The good news is she let me keep it!) If you are so inclined, click on the link above and help keep us in dogfood. (You can even do it anonymously if you'd like.)There's a wonderful Mother's Day anecdote featuring Casey Cramer on the Carolina Panthers' site. (There's also a photo of the former Dartmouth tight end there.) Don't miss this one.
Wandering through Alumni Gym this week I heard some interesting news out of the Dartmouth women's basketball program. Among the teams heading to Hanover next winter for the annual holiday tournament will be perennial national powerhouse Duke. Don't be surprised if Dartmouth and Duke play in the opening round of the tournament. While it will make it awfully hard for the Big Green to advance to the championship game of its own event, a chance to play the Dookies might be (will be) too hard to pass up. ... A couple of other women's basketball tidbits: Coach Chris Wielgus' Big Green has been invited for the first time to the preseason NIT. Also, the season-opener will be at Vanderbilt. It sounds as if the two-time defending Ivy League champions are going to have quite the non-conference schedule next winter.
