Family Feud

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram has a sweet story about Dartmouth offensive lineman Jacob Flores and the Big Green squaring off against Columbia and his younger brother Charlie today in New York City.

From the story:
The Flores family is having fun with the matchup. About 12 family members will be at the game, all wearing house-divided shirts, half Columbia and half Dartmouth. At halftime, they plan to switch stadium sides — cheering one half for the Big Green and the other for the Lions.
Find the full story HERE.
When Dartmouth scheduled a couple of series with Sacred Heart it's probably safe to say the Big Green got more than it bargained for as the Pioneers have crashed the top-25 and don't intend to make it a solo visit.

Headed to New York City at O-Dark-30 to spend a little time wandering through Inwood Hill Park, just a long field goal from Wien Stadium, and around the Inwood neighborhood. I'd been to games at Columbia a bunch of times before discovering this gem where in 1626 Peter Minuit was said to have purchased Manhattan.
BGA Premium will be posted upon our return to Moose Mountain, probably some 17 or so hours after we head out.
