Familiar Name Is Coach of the Year

There are ill feelings between some at Dartmouth and Holy Cross in the aftermath of this year's postgame fracas, but there's no denying that former Big Green assistant Tom Gilmore did a terrific job last fall with the Crusaders. Click here to read an extensive profile of the former Big Green assistant who was named Patriot League coach of the year. The story includes a nugget that caught me by surprise; "Spike's" brother played at Ohio State and in the NFL.

Wide receiver Ryan Fuselier gets a nice mention in this story in the San Diego area North County Times after winning a number of impressive awards this fall and leading the Ivy League in catches.

It's a short blog today because the kids and I are heading up to the big city of Burlington, Vt., to catch the Dartmouth men's basketball team tonight. We'll do some Christmas shopping on the wonderful downtown mall, try to catch a matinee of Charlotte's Web at a stadium-seating theater (there aren't any of those around here and the kids are psyched), and if there's time ride the Lake Champlain ferry to New York (unless it's closed for the winter, which I think it is, but with this weather who knows?). Then we'll get something to eat at famed Al's French Frys, and take in the game. Catch you later.
