The plan is to get some reaction from Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens for tonight's BGA Premium.
A regular poster on the Ivy League message board tossed up a few pretty general thoughts and that brought a few reactions HERE.
Lest you think it's just Dartmouth-Harvard that want to keep things hush-hush, the Yale Blue-White scrimmage is closed to the public (again allowing parents in). LINK

The wise guys have spoken.Week One Dartmouth opponent Georgetown is a 7.5 point favorite over Marist. The Hoyas were 8 point underdogs at Saint Francis (Pa.) last week and dropped a 48-20 decision in Loretto. That Georgetown is more than a touchdown favorite over Marist is a bit of a surprise given that the Red Foxes put up a pretty good fight last week at Bucknell, one of the Patriot League favorites. Marist was down just 3-0 at the half before losing, 17-0.
Sacred Heart, which will provide the opposition for Dartmouth's home opener, plays its second overmatched opponent in as many weeks when it travels to Valparaiso tomorrow. The Pioneers are listed as 26.5 point favorites this morning. They were 29.5 point favorites over DII St. Anselm last week and went on to win, 43-19.
Week 5 foe Central Connecticut is a 17-point underdog to Stony Brook of the powerhouse CAA. The Blue Devils were 3 point underdogs to Lehigh last week and came up on the short end of a 20-14 score.
