Homecoming!

No matter where in the world you werelast night, you could have caught the action from the bonfire through the wonders of the Internet. As this picture taken off the web shows, the fire went on as scheduled ;-) despite a light rain that picked up in intensity as the night went on.

Dartmouth is one of four teams putting 1-1 Ivy League records on the line today. Princeton is another of the four and as Craig Haley points out in the Trenton Times, if you have one loss you are playing in an elimination game today. He writes:

The last time the Ivy League was won with more than one loss was 25 years ago, when Dartmouth, Harvard and Penn each went 5-2 in 1982.

In addition to Dartmouth and Princeton, Penn and Brown each have one loss. The standings:

Yale, 2-0, 5-0
Harvard, 2-0, 3-2
Pennsylvania, 1-1, 2-3
Princeton, 1-1, 2-3
Brown, 1-1, 2-3
Dartmouth, 1-1, 1-4
Cornell, 0-2, 3-2
Columbia, 0-2, 1-4

Today's Games:
Yale at Penn, noon
Columbia at Dartmouth, 12:30
Princeton at Harvard, 12:30
Brown at Cornell, 1 p.m.

Dartmouth's pro football players had successful weeks. Although his team lost to the Winnepeg Blue Bombers last night, 27-13, Calgary Stampeders defensive end Anthony Gargiulo had a successful return to the starting lineup. Anthony was second on the Stamps with four tackles and also had his fourth sack of the season.

Down in Tennessee, Titans coach Jeff Fisher was asked about fullback/tight end Casey Cramer playing for the first time this fall after battling knee and hamstring issues. Fisher said:

“We were fortunate to have Casey available when we lost (fullback) Ahmard (Hall). He was efficient. He was productive on special teams. He knew what to do and allowed us to sustain some packages offensively.”

This release notes that former Dartmouth quarterback Jay Fiedler joined Kenny Rice and Kenny "Sky" Walker on the Kenny & Kenny Sports Show Plus -- a one-hour radio show -- in his role as co-owner of the East Kentucky Miners Continental Basketball Association team. If you'd like to listen, check these stations for web streaming. The show will be broadcast both today and tomorrow on these stations.

Off to Memorial Field shortly. The weather is perfect up here on the mountain with blue skies and 56 degrees. It's probably a little foggy down in the valley but it should be a terrific day to watch football.
