Soggy Day in Hanover Town

It is an absolutely miserable morning. Dark and windy with torrential rain falling. (The rain is exactly what we need, actually.) The Weather.com forecast for gametime tomorrow is now calling for 49 degrees with a "few showers" and wind from the northwest at 18 mph. The "chance of precipitation" is 30 percent through most of the game, but conditions should improve by 4 and so they might just pick up a little earlier.

Jake Novak at Roar Lions Roar digs up the "offshore" point spread each week and reports Dartmouth is a 4.5 point favorite. He writes:

Stumbled across this video during my daily webtour. Kind of a novel way to split the uprights, I'd say.

The Daily Dartmouth's Mirror has a story about reconstruction of The Class of 1953 Commons, nee Thayer Dining Hall. Having done the college tour thing last year, I feel on solid ground saying Dartmouth facilities don't lag behind other "elite" colleges in many areas, but this was certainly one of them.
