Ship(ley) Shape

Colorado's Steamboat Pilot & Today as a story about three former Steamboat Springs players continuing their careers at the D-I level. One is Dartmouth lineman Lane Shipley, a sophomore who missed all of his freshman season after suffering a knee injury at the end of a Colorado high school all-star game. Although you haven't heard his name much, if he's all the way back the 6-2, 265 Shipley could be a very pleasant surprise on the Big Green D-line.

Shipley's high school teammates, by the way, are a fullback at Kansas State and a kicker at Colorado State.

Want a professionally shot picture from last year's Dartmouth football season? Visit the Dartmouth photo store where Mark Washburn's photographs are available. There are are 274 shots up on the site and they can be printed up to 20x30 inches. There are shots from a wide variety of other Big Green sports as well.

Kudos to old friend Mike Mahoney – the Penn SID – and his office for a new and better design for the Quakers' website. On that site you'll find an interesting short video entitle, This is Penn Athletics. It's worth a look and you can find it here.

Andrew Hatch, who started his college career at Harvard, is one of two leading candidates to be the next starting quarterback at LSU as a 22-year-old sophomore. Find a story here.

A reminder that you can follow Ivy League athletes in Beijing at the website, Ivies In China.

Now we're off to the Big Apple to take in a final game at Yankee Stadium before it closes. It's going to be a long day, driving down and back. ... But it's going to be even longer for our 4-year-old golden retriever, Cooper.
