One Day To Go

Here's what Dartmouth will be wearing when it comes down from The Woods to play at Harvard on Friday night:

•

If you are headed to the Dartmouth-Harvard (or the Harvard women's ice hockey game for that matter) the school has issued a parking advisory about an expected "high volume of vehicles expected." Find the advisory HERE. The lot will open at 5 p.m. and it will cost you $20 to park.

•

Dartmouth's game notes for tomorrow can be found HERE. From the notes for the undefeated and No. 22 Dartmouth Big Green's game against No. 15/16 and undefeated Harvard:

The last time two ranked Ivy teams squared off on the gridiron was the Yale-Harvard showdown in 2007. The 11th-ranked Bulldogs, undefeated entering the game, were handed a 37-6 defeat at the Yale Bowl by the 25th-ranked Crimson.

And this . . .

This is the seventh time the Big Green have won their first six games since the advent of Ivy League play in 1956. Good news for Dartmouth fans — the Green won at least a share of the title in each of the previous six instances — 1962, ’65, ’69, ’70, ’71 and ’96.

Hero Sport says, "Our mission is to advance interest and appreciation for small-school athletics through aggregating and publicizing stories about teams, players, fans, and coaches," tomorrow night's game deserves national attention. That being the case, Hero has a posting under the headline:

On the eve of a huge game a writer from the Harvard Crimson calls for the school to drop the sport of football. (LINK) He writes that . . .

. . . by maintaining a football team, Harvard is not simply risking the health of its players on a weekly basis, but threatening players’ mental and physical well being for the rest of their lives.

It’s time for the administration to disband Harvard Football.
