On his BeRecruited page Davis is listed as first-team All-Conference Gila Valley Region, an honorable mention All-Section 5A-2 and a two-year team captain. He also has a page on the National Collegiate Scouting Association site.
And quick, what is Lake Havasu City best known for? In 1971 the famed London Bridge was opened there.

Apparently John Idzik '82 is a hot commodity. The New York Daily News reports that he will be taking a second interview to become the Jets' general manager. His name was floated earlier with regard to the same position with the Cleveland Browns. He's currently the Seattle Seahawks vice president of football administration.

The Harvard Crimson blog has a piece about how fall sports fared at Dartmouth introduced this way:With the spring semester already having begun at Dartmouth but around the corner for the rest of the Ancient Eight, The Crimson takes a look at the fall semester for each athletic program and the season that was in each major sport. Next Up, the Dartmouth Big Green.
Dartmouth, of course, is not on the semester system and has, in fact, just started its winter term, but the piece is worth looking at anyway ;-)

Yesterday's note about former Ivy League athletes completing their careers at other schools as graduate students should have mentioned Chad Gaudet '08, a former Dartmouth running back who some of us thought could break the Big Green career rushing record before a horrific knee injury ended his football career. He finished his Dartmouth career not on the football field but on the lacrosse field and then played a fifth year at the University of Virginia playing lax. There was a Q&A with him on the Virginia site that asked the question, "You transferred from Dartmouth to UVa to use your final year of eligibility this year. How did that come about?" Again, not really a transfer ;-)

Went to see Zero Dark Thirty last night with Mrs. BGA. That is one intense movie and while it runs for 2 hours, 37 minutes, you won't be checking your watch to see how much time is left.
