A 6-foot, 200-pound running back from New Jersey is reported as being recruited by Dartmouth and Princeton in this story in his local paper.

A West Coast letter writer to the Mercury News thinks people blaming all of Stanford's current woes on its previous coach is both piling on and incorrect.

Looking at the scores from yesterday it's more than a bit humbling. I knew picking road teams was a gamble and that's about all I was correct on. I got just two games right and I didn't even put the second one in writing. I had Colgate walloping Fordham, 35-7. And I had Dartmouth as my lead-pipe cinch over Columbia. No, I didn't post it because I don't pick Big Green games. But I've got witnesses. Honest ;-).

Six games into the season and no Dartmouth player has been named offensive, defensive or special teams or rookie player of the week. Quarterback Mike Fritz should have a shot at offensive. And while Ian Wilson's tackle total won't win him the defensive award, anyone who saw Columbia's final drive of the first half knows what an impact he had on the Big Green's first win.

And if you are wondering ... down to New York City for a game, two stories and a drive back into the wee hours makes for a l-o-n-g day. I'll be grabbing a nap this afternoon and then have a follow story on the Green Alert site tonight.
