Dartmouth will be the Holy Cross Homecoming opponent on Sept. 22 when the Big Green makes its second trip to Worcester, Mass., in as many years.
In case you are wondering, the Crusaders are slated to visit Dartmouth in 2013 and 2014 but are missing from the schedule for the first time since 1999 in a 2015 schedule that still lists two TBA's. (Future Dartmouth schedules link)

The Big Green will kick off a home-and-home with Butler of the Pioneer Football League in 2012 with the return trip to Indianapolis slated for the next fall. Butler's first-ever game against an Ivy League opponent will be preceded by a game the week before against Division III Franklin College of Franklin, Ind. Franklin, by the way, was 10-2 last year, losing to Wisconsin-Whitewater, 41-14, in the second round of the NCAA Division III Championships after sneaking past Thomas More in the opening round, 24-21.Butler was 5-6 last year.

OK, we all know the weather in San Diego is perfect, but really? The USD Toreros will be playing their spring game this Saturday. (link)•
This is kind of fun. I was asked a question last week about Dartmouth and Sports Illustrated's Faces in the Crowd. I was curious enough to do a little searching and that kind of got out of hand. OK, not kind of ...Anyway, here's what I came up with – a list of Dartmouth (and several Dartmouth-connected) Faces in the Crowd. They are listed here along with the text that appeared in the magazine, presented from most recent to oldest. (Editor's Note: Faces has come a long way since it started; I can't remember seeing the words "comely" or "pert" in one of the capsules in a long time ;-)
