Cramer A Phin?

If Scout.com is right, Casey Cramer wasn't out of work for very long. The service is reporting the former Dartmouth tight end who was cut by the Tennessee Titans has signed with the Miami Dolphins. From Scout.com:
To make room for FB Casey Cramer, who Miami agreed to a deal with on Monday, FB Boomer Grigsby was waived.
The Palm Beach Post writes:
Scout reports that the Dolphins signed FB Casey Cramer to fill Grigsby’s roster spot. Cramer, a 6-2, 250 pound fullback, has played in 27 games over four seasons with Carolina and Tennessee, mostly as a special teams player.
For a complete recap of Colgate's win over Coastal Carolina Sunday – with a finish that was more controversial, apparently, than it seemed in print – check out the video report here from WPDE TV. (The video is below the story.) It's unclear from the video exactly what happened in Colgate's attempted "spike" to stop the clock. What is clear is that the TD pass on the botched field goal was something of a Hail Mary. ...

Kudos to Colgate coach Dick Biddle for telling it like it is and saying the call at the end that helped his team was incorrect. In the story, Biddle said:
"We get up there and we are going to cock it, well the quarterback should have let time run off the clock; I think three seconds. What happens is he tries to cock it with 20 something seconds left on the clock, which is wrong, and I really think he fumbled the ball. I think the official blew the call. There were a lot of miscues on our part. The stoppage in the game hurt everybody. That really lends itself to hurting the game of football."
The Daily Pennsylvanian has a column about the Ivy League football media poll suggesting that the Ivy League reveal the list of voters. The DP piece begins this way:
Penn Football went 4-6 last year. It graduated a sort-of starting quarterback, its running back, fullback and two best wide receivers, plus three starting linemen. (This is just the offense.)

And yet, somewhere between New Hampshire and New Jersey, someone out there knows how Penn can win the Ivy League. I would love to interview this person, but I will never get the chance.
A little background. Each Ivy League sports information director identifies for the league office two voters who the SID believes will make an informed choice. I was a voter when I worked at the newspaper and have continued in that capacity with Green Alert. And no, it wasn't me who picked Penn to win. I went with Harvard.

The Portal 31 Yale football blog arm of the New Haven Register has information about the Yale two-deep. I asked Buddy Teevens yesterday when the Dartmouth two-deep would be available and he said he's going to continue to keep it close to the vest, given the advantage Colgate has of playing three times before Dartmouth tees it up. Either way, it will be in next week's game notes, but don't look for it before then.

The new FCS polls are out. The Sports Network has Dartmouth opponents positioned this way:
10. UNH
24. Harvard
35. Yale
36. Holy Cross
50. Colgate

The FCS Coaches Poll has them this way:
10. UNH
28. Harvard
35. Holy Cross
47. Yale
