Sack Attack Is Back

Another sack for Anthony Gargiulo '06 in the Calgary Stampeders' 33-10 payback win over the Toronto Argonauts last night gives the former Dartmouth standout three sacks in his first three pro games. He's tied for seventh in the CFL in the category despite missing one game. Gargiulo had two tackles, which doesn't seem like a lot until you consider that the Stamps' leader had six, one player had three, and the next had two. ... There's no mention of Derham Cato in the Argonauts' stats, which do not include participation.

Dartmouth sophomore quarterback Alex Jenny gets a brief mention in this story about his successor as the Wayland, Mass., quarterback.

Jay Fiedler might be a basketball owner these days, but he's using football to help win fans. There's a note here about him talking with a high school team and visiting a football camp in Kentucky.

It's been a few years since two-way standout Gordie Lockbaum scored six touchdowns in a Holy Cross win over Dartmouth, but that feat gets a mention in this story about Lockbaum's son, who now plays at Worcester Academy. Lockbaum, a college hall of famer, had a wonderful career at Holy Cross, but there's a standing joke about him being credited with a few tackles against Dartmouth in one particular game where no one ever noticed him lining up on the defensive side of the ball.

Dartmouth alum Tom Souza '76 -- founder of something called USA World Events -- has landed the Cape Cod League all-star baseball game on NESN (the New England Sports Network). This story notes that Souza played a little defensive back at Dartmouth. Souza's team won the Dartmouth football golf classic team title in 2006.

My email suggests A Christmas Story has its share of fans.

Here's one flick I should have included on my list: It's a Wonderful Life.

And finally ... We're dropping the kids off for two weeks of overnight camp this afternoon. They go to Camp Coniston, only about a 40-minute drive from here, but a wonderful (and very reasonable) YMCA camp that has the feel of one of those classic generational camps on a lake in Maine. One year while the kids were gone we went to Quebec City for a long weekend. Great time. This year? Well, this year we're going to clean out the basement and the garage and hold a yard sale. Such fun.
