It's no great surprise because the annual football game against New Hampshire has been regularly televised in recent years, but WMUR TV, Channel 9 in Manchester, N.H., has requested permission to broadcast the Sept. 23 contest between the Big Green and the Wildcats (No. 1 or No. 2 in the nation depending on which preseason poll you favor). Likely start time will be noon.
When I saw Brian Mann at the Dartmouth Football Golf Classic Saturday he told me his second movie, The Invincible, would be coming out in August and that he would be spending the next month or so on yet another flick, tentatively called The Gameplan, with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Today's Boston Herald reports that project is on hold after The Rock ruptured his Achilles tendon during football "practice." The Herald, in true Herald style, refers to BMann, the former Dartmouth QB who was tutoring The Rock in the fine points of quarterback play, as, "Canton homey Brian Mann." Mann is from Canton, Mass.. Mann was Adam Sandler's stand-in for the remake of The Longest Yard.
There are rumblings down in Tampa Bay that Jay Fiedler could be headed back to Florida as the backup for Chris Simms. It could be the new Dartmouth-Bucs connection (see yesterday's Green Alert) has kicked into gear but I, for one, am doubtful Jay's headed that way. Tampa Bay coach John Gruden was the QB coach for the Eagles when Jay made his first NFL roster, so you never know.
Finally, this bit of news. After tomorrow, the Green Alert Blog will be going on hiatus until July 22. This is the summer of the Great Wood Family Cross Country Trip and we leave (Little League playoffs permitting) at the crack of dawn Saturday. The highlight (lowlight?) of the trip will be a hike down to, and overnight in, the bottom of Grand Canyon. We'll also be hitting Yellowstone. I'll share a little more about the trip tomorrow.
