Are You Ready For Some (Kind Of) Football?

It's Green-White Day for Dartmouth football. Rather than draft teams as has been the case the past several years, Dartmouth will play the first offense against the second defense and the second offense against the first defense. Mindful of "concussive issues," and with a roster depleted by injury at several key positions, Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens is following the USC model and has decided the spring contest will be "non-contact," something he has done before. (He shares his thinking at the end of this video.)

After a cold and wet series of spring practices, a morning fog is expected to lift and the sun could finally shine on Memorial Field before the festivities are through. Check BGA Premium tonight for a look at how the Green-White went, thoughts from coach Teevens and the announcement of the 2012 captains. (I have a guess about that and I'll let you know if I got it right this evening.)

The (Tentative) Green-White Schedule

• On the field at 9:45
• Practice component for 40 minutes (walk-through, stretch, individual, pass skel, inside run)
• Break for five minutes
• Scrimmaging at 10:30 (three quarters (regulation timing)
• Finish around noon.
