Breaking News on Schedule

It's now official. Dartmouth will open the 2010 season at Bucknell instead of at Colgate. Check back in a bit for more details.

The Bucknell football website is here.

The Bison will be under the direction of new head coach Joe Susan after going 4-7 last year (2-7 Patriot League). Bucknell finished the 2009 season with an upset win over No. 13 Holy Cross.

Dartmouth is 4-1 all-time against Bucknell, winning the most recent game in Lewisburg, 31-13, in 1993.

The all-time series:
1963 - at Dartmouth 20, Bucknell 18
1989 - at Bucknell 36, Dartmouth 20
1991 - at Dartmouth 34, Bucknell 16
1992 - at Dartmouth 44, Bucknell 14
1993 - Dartmouth 31, at Bucknell 13

Green Alert Take: Bucknell will come out with its hair on fire in its first game under a new head coach, and winning on the road has been extremely difficult for Dartmouth in recent years, but make no mistake. Bucknell is not Colgate.

Green Alert Take II: Credit to Coach Buddy Teevens and the Dartmouth athletic administration for doing what it could to give a young and developing team a more manageable schedule.
