The final cut is coming for NFL teams and former Dartmouth tight end Casey Cramer is hanging in there as a backup fullback and special teams demon for the Carolina Panthers. Click here for a terrific feature about Cramer that includes this: "There's a chance ... he'll finally get to leave his car in one place after cut day, since he's developed a bit of a following among the team's coaches and front office."
Former Dartmouth assistant Kevin Kelly is set for his first game as head coach at Georgetown. As this story says, he's no stranger to helping turn a program around.
Matt Dougherty, the former Dartmouth sports information intern who is the I-AA expert for The Sports Network, looks back at the past eight months or so and ahead to the opening weekend in this column.
From a story in the Utica newspaper: "Football seems bigger at Colgate this fall. Bigger expectations after being picked to win the Patriot League. Bigger Andy Kerr Stadium with the addition of a 46-foot scoreboard."
Word is Princeton and Yale are scrimmaging tomorrow in New Jersey. Cornell has scrimmaged Ithaca. Penn and Widener. Columbia and Harvard. Dartmouth is clearly in the minority in not holding an outside scrimmage.
If you waste time at the office reading this Blog, you aren't really wasting time. ;-). If you want to do that, track the popularity of your name (or your wife or kids' names) over the years by clicking here. Hmm. Bruce was the No. 32 name for boys in the 1950's. It dropped to No. 503 in popularity in 2005.
And finally this: This morning was doubly-difficult for our 7th-grade son today. Not only was he headed off for the first day of school, but his sister doesn't have to start until Monday due to construction on Hanover High School delaying the opening there. Good sister that she is, she came down to the end of the driveway to way goodbye as he headed off to school.
Check back tonight for a full practice story.
