Picture This

A few links on an otherwise slow morning ...

Ever wonder how Dartmouth's largely revamped Memorial Field stacks up against stadiums from other FCS schools? Check out the ChampionshipSubdivision.com stadium site that features basic information as well as photos that can be enlarged to get a good look at the facilities. Memorial Field's page is here.

To visit the Ivy League stadium page, click here.

Find the Patriot League fields here (and do take a look at what a terrific job they did remodeling Fisher Stadium at Lafayette).

To get a sense of where Dartmouth's future schedule will bring the Big Green, you might want to look at the stadium pages for:

Why they chose the year they did I don't know, but a company named Throwback Max is offering Dartmouth 1958 Ivy League championship T-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies. Find the ordering page here. (Note to Max: You might want to refer to the color of the shirts as Dartmouth Green instead of Forest Green. It will be good for sales, promise.)

There are also a curiously colored "chocolate brown" T-shirt and similarly colored hoody honoring the 1925 national championship Dartmouth team here.

The entire Dartmouth collection found here includes a few things for the class of '68, the 1955 basketball team and some other assorted stuff. Similar clothing from other Ivies can be found here.

And no, I have no financial interest in what Throwback Max is doing. It's just a slow, slow day in the BGA blogosphere ;-)

Misery loves company. A Providence Journal story starts this way:
In the face of a hard-to-shake recession, Brown University will raise tuition and fees, increase enrollment, eliminate jobs and cut its next-year budget by $30 million.

I saw NBC Olympics commentator Jeff Hastings at last night's Dartmouth basketball game and he shared a link to his blog that includes this photo that will make friends of the late Paul Robbins smile. Jeff's explanation is here. Paul also gets a mention at the end of a column in the Steamboat Pilot here. (Thanks for the link.)
