Penn Football is Still Idle

The University of New Hampshire's run in the NCAAA playoffs came to an end with a 16-3 loss at Delaware last night on ESPN2. The Boston Globe has a story. Villanova, the only team to beat Penn this fall, will play Appalachian State today on national TV. The Ivy League champion Quakers? Still idle.

Speaking of New Hampshire college football teams not named Dartmouth, Sports Illustrated has a story detailing how Plymouth State tailback Joe Dudek ended up on the cover of the magazine and finishing ninth in the Heisman balloting 25 years ago. (Thanks for the link.)

Another regular reader sent along a link to a YouTube video that is explained this way:

Georges St. Pierre teaches the Princeton Tiger and the UConn Husky the hard-hitting techniques that he's shared with hundreds of mascots world wide.

ESPN releases Georges St. Pierre's Mascot Self-Defense Training as a promotion for Saturday's upcoming UFC 124: St. Pierre vs Koscheck II. St. Pierre shows the Mascots some great techniques such as the superman punch, and the arm drag which does include pulling the tail and kicking of course.

Memorable Georges St. Pierre quotes:
"If a mascot has a tail, use it."

"Remember mascots, the harder the training, the easier the fight..."

No word on whether ESPN first contact the official Dartmouth mascot for the opportunity to get some free publicity. Oh, that's right. There isn't one.
