Penn Redux

Dartmouth threw a pretty good scare at Penn Saturday, but you wouldn't be able to tell from the headline in the Daily Pennsylvanian: "It's easy beating Green." (Some plays on words are too hard to give up. ;-). From the story:
If patience is a virtue and good things come to those who wait, then Dartmouth football coach Buddy Teevens must be in line for sainthood for his Job-like suffering.
The Daily Dartmouth has a game story and a brief mention of football in its weekly "power rankings," of Big Green sports.

Missed this earlier, but the Attleboro Sun Chronicle in Massachusetts had a story about Dartmouth tailback Nick Schwieger after he cracked the 100-yard mark against New Hampshire in Game Two.

The latest Sagarin Ratings are in and here's how they peg Dartmouth and opponents current and future (number in parentheses is last week's rating):

110. New Hampshire (118)
137. Harvard (151)
138. Holy Cross (166)
142. Colgate (155)
167. Penn (164)
169. Cornell (176)
170. Brown (178)
174. Columbia (201)
188. Yale (167)
204. Dartmouth (209)
208 Butler (234)
209. Princeton (179)
235. Georgetown (232)
237. Sacred Heart (241)

Using Sagarin's ratings, Yale would be just under a one-touchdown favorite in this week's game at Yale Bowl.
