I've written about this before but when Frei (pronounced Fry) played at Dartmouth he was on the starting defensive line with Derek McDowell and Ish McLaughlin. I was working in sports information at the college at the time and named the defensive line "Two big Mcs and a large Frei." Sports Illustrated picked that up and actually had an artist draw up a cartoon illustrating the line on its Scorecard page. I've got a copy of that around here that I'll post some day if it ever turns up.

One of the automatic bids to the NCAA football tournament has come open with the decision by the MEAC to play a postseason game with the SWAC instead of go to the playoffs. (LINK) What do you think the chances are that the Ivy League will inform the NCAA that it would like to allow its football champion to do what every other Ivy League sports champion is allowed to do and pursue the bid?Yeah. I don't think so either, but it is a golden opportunity for the Ivy League presidents to do the right thing.

The train ride back from Chicago was great.After meeting up with her friend in Hinsdale, That Certain '14 and I took the Metra commuter line from Hinsdale to Chicago's Union Station. After a difficult goodbye, TC'14 and her friend went in one direction to catch the "L" and meet up with some other Dartmouth friends, and I headed in another to catch the Lakeshore Limited to Springfield, Mass.
For what it's worth, the train arrived in Springfield just 15 minutes late. If I have the time there's no way I'd rather travel.
