Tee Hee ;-)

Green Alert Premium readers learned the story of the AWOL kicking tee at Yale earlier this week. Thanks to the talents of Dr. Robert Mondshine, who has continued to shoot Dartmouth football even after son Aaron '14 was sidelined by injury, here's Riley Lyons kicking with the jury-rigged replacement, which by rule had to be no taller than an inch. It was crafted from a cut-down water bottle:

From the New Haven Register:
The NCAA announced Friday after a week-long wait that Varga, the team’s leading rusher, is eligible to play immediately. Varga and Yale (1-3) host Lafayette (3-2) today at noon at the Yale Bowl.
Varga, who missed last week's game against Dartmouth while his eligibility was being studied by the NCAA, has been reclassified athletically from a freshman to a sophomore. He was ruled eligible without sitting a year after transferring because it was deemed that he was on athletic scholarship at his Canadian University.
