A little more background on the dropping of the Colgate game last spring to the Raiders could play today at Syracuse from Syracuse.com:
“I could have gone to our athletic director,” Dick Biddle, the Colgate coach, admitted earlier this week, “and told him, ‘I don’t want to play that game.’ But we got the kids together and they said, yeah, they’d love to do it.
“I reminded them about that on Monday night. I told them, ‘OK, you’ve got to go play them now.’ These kids watch Division I-A teams all the time on TV. And they always say, ‘I could do that. I could do that.’ Well, now they have their chance."

Addressing the Dartmouth football team at the end of yesterday's practice was Jimmie Lee Solomon '78, executive vice president of baseball operations for Major League Baseball. Solomon also happens to have been a gifted wide receiver and All-Ivy sprinter for Dartmouth. He had a tryout with the Houston Oilers before going on to Harvard Law School. There's a good bio of him here.*
Not much more for you this morning but in case you missed it, check out a Bloomberg News story headlined, Ivy League football 'mafia' gives Wall Street pipeline.''*
Audio from the Ivy League's weekly teleconference can be found here. Once again, I wish the league would break each coach's comments into its own file because I don't know who has the time or interest in listening to all eight coaches, and it's a pain the zip back and forth trying to find the start of the coach you want to hear.*
Again, in case you missed it, the Ivy League's weekly notes are found here.*
