Ivies In The National Spotlight


That's right. ESPN will be doing its Saturday morning telecast at Harvard from 9-noon. Read the story HERE. I had expected before the season that they would spend this Saturday at sold out Yankee Stadium for the 150th Lehigh-Lafayette game but 9-0 Harvard against 8-1 Yale with a share of the Ivy League title is pretty compelling!

Preliminary work has started in advance of removing and replacing the home stands at Dartmouth's Memorial Field. Maybe this ticket Mrs. BGA bought for the last game in the historic grandstand will bring more than the $10 she paid for it some day on eBay. No, huh?
And finally, did you see that the Dartmouth women's basketball team made the ESPN Top 10? The Big Green buzzer beater came in at No. 5.
