Sadly, Holy Cross is one of the last schools around to do a spring practice prospectus. You can find the new one here. The Crusaders have seven starters back on what could be a dynamic offense with the return of dual-threat quarterback Peter Pujals and Gabe Guild, a whippet-quick tailback Dartmouth did not see last year because of injury. Three offensive linemen are back. Five starters return on the defensive side.

Harvard has released a statement that basketball coach Tommy Amaker will remain with the Crimson. There had been speculation he might move across town to Boston College, a move I couldn't see happening. People used to say that when John Wooden was at UCLA he didn't recruit so much as select. (Think about it.) Amaker has that same ability at Harvard right now with regard to Ivy League recruits. At Boston College it would hardly be the case. He's smart enough to know he would be chasing Duke and North Carolina right up until the day he got his pink slip.

This has nothing to do with football or sports, but it's a fun exercise. Answer a series of easy language usage/pronunciation questions and a New York Times quiz will probably do a good job of pinpointing where you grew up. It nailed me within 25 miles or so and Mrs. BGA even closer. LINK
