The Times-Picayune among other publications, has a story (LINK) about James receiving "offers" from all eight Ivies that includes this quote from McKinley coach Robert Signater:
"This is the first time ever I've had a kid offered by every Ivy League school there is," the coach said. "Last year we had a couple guys that were offered by a few Ivy League schools, but this is the first time where they flooded it ... Sometimes it's amazing when you have a guy come visit and say, 'I'm from Dartmouth,' or 'I'm from Yale.' I'm kind of like, 'Wow,' you know? It's truly amazing to me."It certainly doesn't hurt Dartmouth's chances that former NFL wide receiver and New Orleans native Cortez Hankton recruits his home state. Hankton has proven to be a very effective recruiter.

Saw an interesting media day quote from Kansas coach Charlie Weiss and it brought to mind Dartmouth starter Dalyn Williams as well as Alex Park, a much better runner than most people know (LINK):Anytime you have a mobile quarterback which is really not the way we were suited to last year until Montell (Cozart) started playing. Until that you are playing 11 on 10 football. If the quarterback is never going to carry the ball and is not a threat to the defense and they don't have to worry about him, then they are plus one as far as numbers go. By having a quarterback being able to be one of the guys who can carry the ball puts much more stress on the defense.

When we brought him home a little over three weeks ago, Griff the Wonder Pup took one look at the two steps up to our deck and gave out a little whimper. Three weeks later he just about left me behind hiking to the South Peak of Moose Mountain, out behind our house. Yup, looks as if he'll be ready to go for the annual BGA hike on the morning of the opening game against Central Connecticut.
