"Ivy League is finalizing another TV package that will be announced in next week or two. Focus is on football."In addition to the league-wide TV package, schools can work out arrangements to have other games televised. A hint that a broadcast of the Dartmouth-Harvard game might be in the works can be found on the Harvard football web page (LINK) where the game time has been changed to 3:30 p.m.

Stumbled across a story quoting Matt Burke and clicking through I learned the former member of the undefeated 1996 Big Green has moved from the Detroit Lions' coach staff to the Cincinnati Bengals. Find Burke's bio HERE.

The forecast was 90 percent chance of rain at game time yesterday but Williamsport isn't all that far from State College, Pa., so for the second time in three years we rolled the dice and made a side trip to the Little League World Series. We managed to get a seat under the overhang instead of on the lawn and saw Japan 10-run Mexico. Rain? Not a drop!There's a friend of BGA who makes it a point of going to interesting sporting events around the country each year. I can't stress strongly enough that he should add the LLWS to his list. It's an amazing spectacle . . . and free!
By the way, we watched the first few innings of the Philadelphia-Chicago game last night at a pizza place that had torn loyalties. The Pennsylvania Little League heroes were on half the screens and the Eagles-Steelers preseason civil war was on the other half. OK, it probably wasn't half and half. Football rules in this state, but at least we were able to see catch some of the game on a set over in the corner ;-)

The Penn preview went up on BGA Premium last night. Princeton will go up this evening.
