Dartmouth-bound Austin Katigan, right, and Oklahoma-bound Casady School teammate Cale Shivers shared one final appearance on the field together when they helped the North team win the Texas Private School Coaches Association All-Star Game, 13-3 on Saturday evening.

Katigan saw action at wide receiver and defensive back as well has handling the punting duties while Shivers played quarterback and defensive back as the North overcame a 3-0 halftime deficit. Find a game story here. Find an earlier blog mention of Katigan with links to a video interview and story here.

Tuesday's mention of the NCAA prohibiting FCS teams from staying off campus the night before a home game (link) brought the following response from a regular reader who knows his way around Dartmouth football:

Blackman did this in his "early years"... though I believe only on Dartmouth Night (homecoming to the newbies) and they would depart after the rally at Dartmouth Hall and start of the bonfire...remember, too, in those days and into the 70s, there was a Friday night bonfire before every home game though, again, in those days Dartmouth played only 3-4 home games...H-Y-P were always road games until Princeton (1964), Yale (1971), Harvard (1974 except for the oddballs in 1946 and 1955).

I saw a story about this yesterday and received an email today from a reader with a broken link to a different story about the Dartmouth ice hockey recruit who bailed on the Big Green to go to Wisconsin. (BGA link) Turns out, he's changed his mind again and will come to Dartmouth after all. From College Hockey News:

The case of prized recruit Matt Lindblad took another turn today. According to sources, Lindblad, making a lot of news in college hockey before ever playing an NCAA game, has decided to turn down Wisconsin, and will attend Dartmouth after all.

I spend a lot of time (too much, actually) surfing Ivy League websites and only now did it sink in what it says above the bold lettering HARVARD on that school's website:

Leadership and Competitive Excellence in Division I Athletics
