Predictions Unkind

Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens offers a tutorial Thursday to his quarterbacks, receivers and a running back.


The Sports Network has its weekend preview up. Prediction: New Hampshire 49, Dartmouth 21. ...

The Harvard Crimson predicts a similar score (44-14) with this unkind cut: "The Big Green surprised a lot of people by opening up a 28-0 lead on Colgate last week, and then surprised very few by giving it all back and going on to lose the game, 31-28, in overtime."

The College Sporting News has a short capsule but no prediction. ... The Daily Pennsylvanian look around the Ivies focuses on Yale-Cornell and has just one sentence on Dartmouth-UNH.

There's a capsule preview in the Concord Monitor that includes this comment from UNH coach Sean McDonnell: "Dartmouth is a better football team than they've been in a long time."

Dartmouth might want to consider breaking in those new white pants tomorrow at UNH. Less chance that paint will show up on them if it's still tacky. Huh? From the Union Leader: "The facilities types finished up painting the yard markers on the FieldTurf a little after noon."

Harvard and Brown are playing tomorrow night in the first-ever game under the lights at Harvard Stadium. It sounds as if the campus is buzzing. There will even be a pep rally according to the Harvard Crimson.

First it was a knee, now a hamstring is keeping Casey Cramer off the field with the Tennessee Titans according to this story. As a special teams guy, Cramer is always just barely hanging on to his job, so the nagging injuries are not good.
...

A close read of the Boston Globe Independent School League previews provides the name of a high school linebacker/tight end who could be headed this way. From the Thayer Academy preview: "The group has attracted considerable attention from colleges with Shulman (Dartmouth) and Evans (UNH) already receiving offers." That would be Alex Shulman, listed at 6-2, 205.
