Another Gift Idea

The folks from Asgard Press who put out this calendar sent along an email yesterday with an OK to reproduce these pictures. I've had a chance to see one of these calendars first-hand and when they say the prints are suitable for framing, it's true. If it's a little late to track one down, you could always print out a picture and wrap it nicely with a note that it's on the way ;-). Check the calendars out here. (You are supposed to get a 10 percent discount by accessing the calendar page with this link.)

And if you happen to have someone who bleeds something other than green, they also have calendars from Cornell and Yale in the Ivies as well as Penn State, Notre Dame and Tennessee to name a few that Green Alert readers have particular interest in. I know of a couple of Green Alert readers who have gotten this calendar already and have good things to say about it...

As expected, Rhode Island chose URI alum and Rutgers assistant Darren Rizzi over former Dartmouth assistant Rob Talley as its new football coach. There's a story in the Providence Journal. ...

A quarterback from Roswell, Ga., named Dustin Taliaferro is on Dartmouth's radar according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. He completed 59-percent of his passes (115 of 194) for 1,941 yards and 19 touchdowns with five interceptions this year and seemed to be headed to Southern Mississippi until a coaching change. Penn, Columbia and William & Mary are among others courting him.
