The impending installation of lights at Dartmouth's Memorial Field gets a quick mention in the latest Chalktalk from the National Football Foundation.*
Take a second and vote in the new poll about what day (or if) a night football game should be played on Memorial Field.*
Former Dartmouth assistant Pete Lembo, now head coach at Ball State, mentions the talented staff he was part of under John Lyons during his days with the Big Green in a spring report.*
The Sports Network continues to refer to Columbia linebacker Alex Gross as the best NFL defensive prospect from the Ivy League. On the other side of the ball, TSN says the best offensive prospect is Yale tight end Chris Blohm.*
The Portal 31 Yale blog reports that Duke defensive lineman Tevin Hood was at the Bulldogs' practice Monday and intends to transfer to Yale. Although projecting a starting lineup can be a dangerous thing, there's a potential starting lineup posted on Portal 31. It shows a very well-balanced group of returnees that on offense features veteran starters returning at quarterback, tailback, wide receiver, three offensive line spots and kicker. Defensively, Portal 31 sees returning starters in each area of the field with one tackle, one end, two linebackers, one corner back and one safety coming back along with the punter.*
Week 5 opponent Holy Cross concluded practice with its annual spring game. Vermont product Max Librizzi, whose sister captained the Dartmouth women's basketball team, completed 10-of-17 passes for 98 yards and the lone touchdown in the contest.*
Dave Jenkerson, Dartmouth's new strength coach, comes from St. Anselm College, where he worked under Athletic Director Jo-Ann Nester. A former associate athletic director at Dartmouth and then AD at the University of San Diego, Nester has announced her retirement effective at the end of the year.*
In case you are wondering, we're back from the Great College Tour 2011 and will have a full practice report up on Green Alert Premium tonight.*
For what it's worth, we were walking past the Carrier Dome at Syracuse yesterday just as large group of high school seniors was heading into the building. A security guard shooed us into the building with them and like Forest Gump we suddenly found ourselves in the "accepted students" luncheon on the (uncovered) turf. We didn't eat but That Certain Hanover High Junior certainly enjoyed being at the 50-yard line and looking around the building. He was clearly impressed by The 'Cuse. While he liked the Orange a lot, he still hopes to see himself in blue and white in the fall of 2012.*
While we were away That Certain Hanover High Grad ran the 1500 in Saturday's meet at Memorial Field and placed third in the 20-runner pack as Dartmouth finished 1-2-3 in the event. She was the top-finishing freshman in the race and third among nine Big Green runners.*
And finally, leaving Moose Mountain last Thursday morning at 4:15 a.m., we very nearly got bogged down (literally) in the late-arriving mud on our road. We were hopeful that upon returning last evening we would find the mud had abated. Hah. It is really nasty out there.
