Getting Noticed On Line

Recruiting has changed dramatically in this age of personal computers and the internet and online questionnaires are another example. That certain Hanover High sophomore distance runner slash field hockey slash softball player and I have been scoping those things out recently and that sent me scurrying back to the Dartmouth football page.

Allen Lessels of the Manchester Union Leader reports the Wildcats, who knocked off Rutgers, Northwestern and Marshall in the Ricky Santos era, have scheduled games at Pittsburgh in 2010 and at Boston College in 2014. The Pitt game, by the way, has a $300,000 paycheck. UNH plays at Army next fall.

That's right, Tommy Amaker's Crimson is 1-7 in the Ivy and 6-18 overall. Harvard is 2-14 since stunning Michigan.
