Saturday Stuff

Rain had stopped and with the light absolutely perfect the other night I crossed the road and snapped this picture. Double-click it to see just how pretty the Upper Valley is. That's Mount Ascutney off to the left.


Week One opponent Bucknell has released its first recruiting class under new coach Joe Susan. There's little information about the class but Susan did have this to say:
"Despite a late recruiting start, we put together a very good class. We have a lot of position variety with a good mix of skill players as well as big linemen. Our staff is looking forward to working with this class. It is a fine group of student-athletes that will fit well into the Bucknell community and serve as role models."
A contributor to the Any Given Saturday message board has posted a little background on the new Bison players who the Big Green will see on Sept. 18.

Speaking of freshmen, Columbia has now added bio information about its incoming freshmen on the Lion roster page. Just click on the freshmen of interest.

Dartmouth men's golf coach Rich Parker begins the second day of the Champions Tour event tied for 16th place after carding a 3-under 69 at En-Joie Golf Club in Endicott, N.Y. As the local paper's lead golf writer I covered at least two dozen pro events that Rich played in and I always wondered how he would do if he ever gave the former Seniors Tour a shot when he hit the big Five-Oh. Find the Champions Tour leaderboard here.

Weather permitting, the Hanover Green Machine (15-0) will be playing for the Connecticut Valley Little League championship up in Haverhill, N.H., this afternoon. We had two wins over our championship game opponent during the regular season and I'm not going to tell the kids the old saw about how hard it is to beat a good team three times in a year.
