Tuesday Morning Ramblings

The Daily Pennsylvanian leads its Ivy League roundup by pointing out something that has not gone unnoticed in the past:

Dartmouth probably wishes there were more Ivy schools from New York that started with the letter ‘C.’

The Big Green has wins over New York schools Columbia and Cornell this fall. Colgate, the third Empire State school to visit Hanover this fall, refused to cooperate and Culinary Institute of America refuses to travel.

The Columbia Spectator also has an Ivy League roundup.

It's Tuesday and that can mean just one thing. Actually, it means yesterday was Monday and tomorrow is Wednesday, but it also means time to look at the weekly polls. Here they are with last week's ranking/rating in parentheses:

Kind of a fun thing. Or three.

The YouTubevideo of the final play and celebration after the streak-ending victory over Columbia had been viewed 1,969 times as of 8:30 this morning with three "comments" posted about it. Find the video here.

The video of Dartmouth President Jim Yong Kim tossing a football at Dartmouth practice had been viewed 713 times. Find the video here.

By way of comparison, the hilarious (It's my video, I can say that.) of those two certain Hanover kids doing a mock interview of Apolo Anton Ohno when they were a good deal younger has been viewed 549 times. If you watch it, be sure to check out the facial expressions at the end. It still cracks me up and I've watched it, oh, 548 times or so. Find that video here.

On a more serious note, the Daily Dartmouth has a follow on budget cuts that the college that could reach $100 million over the next couple of years.
