In this video pulled together to get the blood flowing for the Dartmouth-Princeton game be sure to check out the runs by quarterback Dalyn Williams at the 1:58 and 3:31 marks. And the Ryan McManus TD against Harvard at 1:22. Ridiculous.

Noticed that former Cornell head coach Jim Hofher is now the wide receivers and assistant head coach at Nevada. Since his successful tenure at Cornell from 1990-97 (45-35 record, 33-23 in Ivy play) he's been at North Carolina, Syracuse, Buffalo (head coach), Bowling Green, Delaware and now Nevada.
The pastures may look greener elsewhere but when you see that kind of itinerary you understand just how smart Al Bagnoli, Tim Murphy and Phil Estes are for staying put. The first two were head coaches at Penn and Brown when Hofher was in the Ivies and the last was an assistant at Brown when Hofher was in Ithaca.

Dartmouth just missed one of the most historical days in the recent annals of Big Green basketball yesterday. In a nationally televised matinee, the Dartmouth men had a Harvard team that had a 16-point win over Boston College, a win over Cal, a 30-point win over Rice and very respectable losses to UConn and Memphis all-but buried until the final 90 seconds before losing in overtime. Then last night at Leede Arena, the Dartmouth women, an uncharacteristic 2-13 coming in, posted a convincing 58-45 upset victory over the 10-win Crimson.
