Floren Varsity House and the updated east stands of Memorial Field looked pretty good on a glorious Saturday afternoon when New Hampshire used a field goal with three seconds remaining to break Vermont hearts in the 54th annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl game. New Hampshire extended its lead in the lopsided series to 39-13-2.
A look at the extended of stands (foreground) added this year in front of Leverone Field House.
The walkway behind the east stands was a popular place for fans who enjoyed standing ... or leaning.
The view from the new chairback seats (which were not used). There are two rows of these seats atop the east stands.
Fans escaped the heat under the east grandstand. New pavement and lighting under the stands allows fans east access to the portals and their seating without climbing over other fans.
The home stands helped swell the crowd to more than 7,000.Anthony Gargiulo '06 and the Calgary Stampeders used a 34-yard field goal on the game's final play to pull out a 34-32 win last night against Edmonton. Already battling a sore and swollen knee as well as a shoulder issue, Gargiulo reports he badly rolled an ankle, enough so that he heard a "pop." He'll have tests on it today. He had one tackle before leaving the game for good in the first half according to this story.
Casey Cramer '04, gets this mention in the Terra Haute Tribune-Star: "Cramer can also play fullback and was a key special teams performer for Tennessee a year ago."
A UNH story includes this not-so-welcome (for Dartmouth fans) tidbit: "(Ricky) Santos heads an offense that returns seven starters from a unit that averaged 35.3 points a game, including speedy sophomore running back Chad Kackert." True, David Ball has graduated. But helping to pick up the slack will be speedy playmaker Mike Boyle, a homegrown New Hampshire kid who was MVP of the Shrine game a few years back. Boyle, who missed much of last season with injury, is a wide receiver who also lines up on occasion in the backfield.
