A few assorted 2013 Ivy League football scheduling notes . . . Dartmouth has six home games . . . Princeton has six road games including three in a row at Hampton, at Brown and at Harvard . . . Cornell plays three of its first four games at home and three of the final four on the road . . . Bucknell, Colgate, Lafayette, Lehigh, Monmouth and Fordham each show up on two schedules . . . Yale's trip to Cal Poly wins the long-distance award (UPDATE: Alert eyes suggested that Harvard-San Diego is shorter than Yale-San Luis Obispo and it is – by 42 miles ;-) . . . Dartmouth will travel 917 miles to play Butler . . . Princeton's trip to Hampton is almost exactly the same distance that the Tigers will travel to play Dartmouth.

Bloomberg News had a story spun out of last week's Ivy Football Association dinner in New York City. From the story:
“It’s quite an amazing thing that happens when people kind of bang heads for a number of years but also have brains,” said Michael O’Flynn ('91), who played defensive end at Dartmouth, where former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson also played. “It teaches you to get up after being knocked down. It teaches you to do things you never dreamed of doing.”Speaking of the IFA dinner, you can find a video slide show of Ellis Rowe's '74 pictures from the event here.

As a former sports editor of a Pennsylvania daily newspaper I found a story in the Philadelphia Inquirer headlined Pennsylvania high school football no longer a prime producer of top college recruits interesting but not particularly surprising.
