Scheduled Up

It's not where you start, it's where you finish.

A peek at the Cornell football website this morning revealed times for all of the Big Red football games in the fall. That, in turn, led to a journey through a few other team sites trying to nail down the times for all of Dartmouth's games.

At some point a light went on in this low-octane brain and the exercise was put on hold to double-check the Dartmouth schedule. The times for all but one game were right there, added when we weren't looking. So here you have them:

Dartmouth 2010 Football Schedule
Sept. 18 at Bucknell 1
Sept. 25 Sacred Heart, 1:30
Oct. 2 at Penn, TBA
Oct. 9 Yale, 1:30
Oct. 16 Holy Cross, 1:30
Oct. 23 at Columbia, 1:30
Oct. 30 Harvard, 1:30 (Homecoming)
Nov. 6 at Cornell, 12:30
Nov. 13 Brown, Noon
Nov. 20 at Princeton, 1 p.m.

The Nov. 13 game against Brown is being played at noon, of course, because it is being broadcast by Versus.

TV games are a good thing, right? Suffice it to say they can be – but they haven't been lately.

Dartmouth has lost 11 of its last 12 televised games with the lone win the 59-31 victory over Cornell on Nov. 3, 2007. A list of the Big Green's TV games, with date, result and broadcast outlet can be found on this release.

What did it say at the top of today's BGA blog? It's not where you start, it's where you finish.

Fitting words here on the shoulder of Moose Mountain where a phone message Monday and another via email the same day brought word that That Certain Hanover High School Graduate dared not believe at first: a chance to be a member of the Dartmouth Class of 2014. Suffice it to say she jumped at the chance, figuratively as well as literally.

Signed,
BGA P'14
