It has been some time since Dartmouth football has had an impact transfer but they can make a difference. If you remember back, the undefeated 1996 team featured leading rusher Greg Smith (Missouri) and fullback Pete Oberle (Colorado State). Some other schools have turned more toward transfers including Columbia. The Columbia Spectator writes about transfers on several of the New York school's teams.
The College of William & Mary is working on developing a mascot and is down to five finalists. Drawings of the candidates can be found here. Historical background on the choices and a survey in which you can vote for your favorite can be found here. I know this: If William & Mary were on my schedule I'd vote for King William III and Queen Mary II just for giggles.

And finally, it's a snow day for those certain Hanover High kids. We could be getting a foot of the white stuff but with the way the wind is howling, it will be hard to tell. There might be four feet of it in one place and bare ground in another by the time this storm wraps up.
