Dartmouth's official release for the finale against Princeton can be found here. Turns out it is a milestone game for Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens. From the release:

For Dartmouth head coach Buddy Teevens, this will be his 100th game at the helm of the program in this his second stint as the head coach. He began his tenure with the Big Green in 1987 and coached through the 1991 campaign. Following terms as the head coach at Tulane and Stanford, Teevens returned to his alma mater for the 2005 season and currently has a 35-62-2 record at Dartmouth.

Cole Marcoux, the 6-foot-5 quarterback headed Dartmouth's way, is central to this story in the Riverdale Press. From the story:

The Dartmouth-bound senior ended his illustrious high school career with 260 yards through the air and two passing touchdowns.

There's a summer Q&A with Marcoux here. ... Marcoux's bio on the web site for The Ride can be found here. It reads this way:

6’5” / 234 lbs. New York is known for producing stars on the hard court and this Bronx native has this perception working against him. He chose football over baseball and has a tremendous upside due to his strong frame and stature. An outstanding student with a 3.94 G.P.A., Marcoux’s learning curve is holding him back from becoming a prize recruit. He does, however, have a cannon of an arm and size that you can't teach.

The Washington Post prep page had a story about The Ride here.

From the For What They Are Worth department, if you check the Scout.com and ESPN.com recruiting sites, neither Marcoux nor several other recruits whose families have emailed news of their commitment are listed on the Dartmouth pages for those services.

Penn's game notes for the Ivy League champions or co-champions (depending on the Harvard-Yale outcome) includes these notes that Dartmouth followers may find interesting:

Penn holds the record for most unbeaten Ivy seasons with six. Both Harvard and Dartmouth are second with four apiece—which is the same number that head coach Al Bagnoli has achieved. With a win today, Penn would have more unbeaten seasons in the Al Bagnoli era than any other program has in its history. Penn went 7-0 in Ivy play in 1984, 1986, 1993, 1994, 2002, and 2003.

And this ...

With its 14th Ivy title in program history, Penn is now tied for second with Yale among Ivy schools behind Dartmouth’s 17 championships. No school has won more outright titles than the Quakers as they go for their 11th today (Dartmouth is second with nine).

A regular reader (I think) from the Louisville suburbs sent along a link of interest to Ivy League followers noting that a record previously by Jerry Rice and Brown's Chas Gessner has been broken. The Louisville Courier-Journal reports that a receiver at Hanover College caught 25 passes last week, setting an NCAA all-divisions record. From the story:

Rice set the mark of 24 at Mississippi Valley State in 1983, and Chas Gessner tied the all-divisions mark in 2002 for Brown University.

It's not a sports story but the Daily Dartmouth has an interesting piece about Brandon Del Pozo '96 serving as police captain of the 50th Precinct in The Bronx, N.Y. It's a long, long way from Hanover to The Bronx, but not quite so long if you grew up in New York City.

The D also has a piece about Dartmouth's increased visibility on YouTube. The story says Dartmouth has posted ...

... 296 videos covering a broad spectrum of Dartmouth-centric subjects. A number of videos are full-length recordings of on-campus lectures by professors. Others are sit-down examinations of a professor’s research, edited down to a few minutes ...

The story notes ...

One of the channel’s most-watched videos includes highlights from Dartmouth Night, the Friday of Homecoming. The video depicts the building of the bonfire and athletic teams singing the Alma Mater as the fire is lit.
