Teeing It Up At Harvard Stadium

As the song says, "Dartmouth's in town again," the town being Cambridge, or Allston or more properly on this stadium side of the Charles River, Boston. Whatever you call it, when the Big Green is playing at Harvard it's always a party. If you'd like to join in, there's this from the local alums:
The Dartmouth Club of Greater Boston invites all alumni and parents to the Dartmouth-Harvard Tailgate starting at 10 AM on Webster Field outside of the closed end of Harvard Stadium. Alumni and guests are encouraged to bring their own food and drink to this gathering. Look for the Dartmouth banner and join us for the pre-game festivities.
Harvard Radio's WHRB blog has an advance on the Dartmouth-Harvard clash here.

The New Hampshire Football Report offers a capsule preview of the game here.

Jake Novak at Roar Lions Roar goes with Harvard, writing:
The Big Green's win over Columbia last week should serve as a big boost... but not this week. Harvard could be caught napping a little bit, but that's not likely.
Dartmouth-Harvard is the SIRIUS game of the week and it can be heard on channel 130.

A player from a current Dartmouth opponent and a future opponent are in the news. ESPN.com has a nice piece on Holy Cross quarterback Dominic Randolph, who has gone from high school backup to NFL prospect.

The Indianapolis Star has a story on the Butler football team, which will try to improve to 8-0 today. The Star points out that despite being undefeated, Butler is 231st in the Sagarin Ratings with virtually no chance at making the NCAA playoffs. Dartmouth (17 slots ahead of the Bulldogs in the Sagarin Ratings despite a 1-5 record) is slated to play host to Butler in 2012 and to visit the Indianapolis team in 2013.

Find Dartmouth's future schedules here. (In case you are wondering, both of those seasons begin with games against Butler in Week One and Holy Cross the next Saturday before kicking off Ivy play against Penn.)

Extra Point
That certain Hanover High sophomore is dressing up as a famous football coach for Halloween. Rolled up khakis, white socks, black shoes and this.
