Catching Up

Just back from Penn State. Left at 7:30 this morning and got back to Etna at 4:35. That's pretty good time, but a long, hard drive in an '84 VW bus. ...

Several quick posts. First, congratulations to the Dartmouth baseball team for clinching the Red Rolfe Division title with a win over Harvard in the opener of Sunday's twinbill. The Big Green will host the Ivy League championship series this weekend.

Harvard held it's Crimson and White scrimmage Saturday night with Cheng Ho exploding for 113 yards and two touchdowns in one half of action. Elusive quarterback Collier Winters completed 21 of 40 pass for 201 yards and ran for another 32 yards on seven carries. Find the Harvard football website recap here.

The New Haven Register's Portal 31 blog has a recap of Yale's spring day with three bullet points:

1. Yale's defense is stifling and aggressive
2. Yale can not run the ball
3. Gio Christodoulou is a threat to break it every time he fields a punt or kickoff.

In case you were wondering, there were 76,500 at Penn State's Blue-White Game yesterday. We'd like to correct that to 76,503. ;-)

The quote of the day was from Jay Paterno regarding efforts to make sure starting quarterback Darryl Clark – the only real experienced QB on the roster – did not get hurt. Said Paterno on his Twitter site:

Clark will play in a red jersey-if we could borrow the Vatican's Popemobile he'd play in that.

Check in tomorrow for a full recap on Dartmouth's first scrimmage of the spring.
