Ivy Recruit List

The most easy-to-read, one-page collection of incoming recruits for all eight Ivy League schools has been compiled by The Sports Network and can be found here.

That page still shows Jerry Uwaezuoke headed to Dartmouth but the defensive tackle who committed to Dartmouth, switched to Tulsa and reportedly switched back to Dartmouth is not on the official Big Green roster along with the other incoming freshmen. Nor, as it turns out, is he on the official Tulsa roster.
When it comes to the sometime-to-be-replaced west stands at Dartmouth's Memorial Field, no news is, well, no news. Check out a curious posting on the blog Dartmo. The Buildings of Dartmouth College.
To borrow a label from Sports Illustrated, here's another Sign Of The Apocalypse: The NCAA has "put Caltech in its crosshairs" as this story notes. This one has to be read to be believed. Or not believed.

And finally, the inventor of Tudor's Electric Football has died. Video games may be more realistic, but there was nothing like clicking the power on and watching your players vvvvvibrate around the field. It was fun trying to kick field goals with the little felt footballs but honestly, did anyone ever really complete a pass? Find a story about the game inventor here.
