The best part of the day came after the 10-0 game was called when a handful of huge Nittany Lion players made like little kids and did sliding belly flops on their way to the tunnel and off the field.
The weather wasn't nearly as bad as predicted but it was bad enough that we were a little concerned when we headed back to the campground. Fortunately we had put anything we couldn't afford to get wet in the car, and had just a few puddles inside that we were able to sponge away in 10 minutes or so. That said, between the rain and the 34-degree weather when I got up this morning I'm not sure how soon I'll be able to convince Mrs. BGA to camp this early in the year again ;-(

Dartmouth gets a quick mention in this story centered around the development of the Head Impact Telemetry System helmet monitor system that the Big Green has been fortunate to be part of for several years. This has been discussed here before, but Simbex, which developed the system, is located in Lebanon.*
While we were in State College, Pa., yesterday, a former State College High quarterback was giving the Dartmouth baseball team a headache. Brook Hart, the 6-foot-5 southpaw who passed for 390 yards and three touchdowns in a Yale victory over Dartmouth in the 2009 season, gave up one earned run and struck out seven in 8 2/3 innings to help the Bulldogs complete a sweep of Saturday's doubleheader with the Big Green. Yale took the first game 6-1 and the nightcap 5-1 to move into a tie with Dartmouth for the Red Rolfe Division lead. The same two teams will meet up for another twinbill today.*
A strong second half by Navy helped the undefeated Midshipmen to a 27-10 (men's rugby) win over Dartmouth yesterday in Hanover.*
