Jenny Profiled In Daily Dartmouth

The Daily Dartmouth has a story about the football program centered around junior Alex Jenny, who will come to camp in 29 days as the No. 1 quarterback. Jenny, listed at 5-11, 182, tells the school paper:

Obviously I’m not the biggest quarterback in the world. I’d say my biggest strength is just knowing the offense and knowing what’s going on with the defense. I’m not a physically dominant player in any way, so I just try to have a good grasp on what we’re doing.

Jenny may not be the prototypical 6-4, 225 quarterback, but don't underestimate his physical skills. He puts a lot of zip on the ball. And in spring drills he surprised many an onlooker with his running ability.

Former Dartmouth tight end Casey Cramer has become a special teams force with the Tennessee Titans. There's a story about him on the Titans Radio site, and audio with him here. Casey, by the way, would be a terrific color commentator when his playing days are over. The web posting included this:

''You can make a good living playing special teams,'' Titans fullback/special teamer Casey Cramer said. ''For young guys, you can find your way onto the field quickly if you make an impact on special teams.''

Colgate tailback Jordan Scott has been named to The Sporting News preseason FCS All-America Team. The Colgate web site has a brief mention.

New Hampshire football is playing Army this year, Pittsburgh of the Big East in two years and Boston College in 2014. Athletic Director Marty Scarano revealed those games in a state-of-the-program meeting according to a story in the Laconia Citizen. UNH, you may remember, defeated Rutgers, Northwestern and Marshall during Ricky Santos' time at quarterback. Scarano told the assembly:

"I don't want to say (Army's) a game we can win, but obviously we can compete. It's a great event for the University."

Green Alert Take: Good for UNH. The shame is that Dartmouth and the other Ivy League teams no longer have that kind of opportunity.

And finally ... that certain Hanover High junior to be is at the bottom of Grand Canyon today as part of her "West Coast Counselor In Training" program. ... The freshman to be at Hanover is at his camp and mom and day are wrapping up two weeks of empty nesting with a question: Where have all the good movies gone? We've seen four in the past two weeks and still haven't seen one we'd recommend.

And finally part II ... This is coming to you from the parking lot of the Hanover town library. That's right ... no Internet again this morning. Argh!
