Cheers For The Crowd


Last week the sports editor of our local daily took the Dartmouth student body (and others) to task for walking out early on the nailbiting loss to Holy Cross in the Memorial Field opener. On Sunday he tossed a bouquet after the crowd stayed in place and cheered the Big Green on to a win over Yale. The story made it across the top of the front page of the newspaper.

Read the story here.
Highlights from Saturday via Dartmouth sports publicity:


The guess here is that Dartmouth's Dom Pierre will share the Ivy League offensive player of the week honors with a player to-be-named when the release comes out later today. After running for 167 yards and catching another 63 yards of passes he's certainly deserving.

Nothing new in The Dartmouth daily's game story from Saturday's win over Yale or the Yale Daily News story about the game.
Dartmouth's win over Yale didn't do much for the Big Green's Sagarin rating, but the loss hurt Yale. Harvard dropped despite beating Cornell while Penn moved up despite losing to William & Mary as the ratings begin to normalize.

137 Harvard (127)   
150 Brown (159) 
156 Yale (135)
