Maybe It Won't Be Miserable

The good news is that the weather forecast for Saturday in Philadelphia has improved significantly. The forecast this morning was for "a little rain" in the morning with just a 15 percent chance of showers at gametime. More problematic is the wind, which could blow 20 mph with gusts up to 40 mph depending on which service you believe.
Dartmouth's game notes have been posted HERE. A word of warning: Don't put 100 percent faith in the accompanying depth chart ;-)

The most interesting game note:

Dartmouth's defense has scored 18 points this fall and allowed 17. The defense has returned two interceptions for touchdowns (Will McNamara and David Caldwell) and has one TD on a fumble recovery in the end zone (Cody Fullerton).
The Dartmouth has a a preview of the Penn game that includes this from quarterback Dalyn Williams:
"We need to make sure as an offense we get better, and if we get better every week, there’s no one that can stop our offense.”
Here's the "outfit" Dartmouth will be wearing at Penn. (The word uniform, I suppose, is now passé.)

The Ivy League schedule kicks off tonight with a pair of games. Columbia will play at Princeton at 7 in a game to be broadcast on the NBCSports Network (not to be confused with standard NBC) and Colgate will be at Cornell, also at 7.
Team BGA will be leaving for Philadelphia at 0-Dark-30 tomorrow. Look for the Fearful Forecast this afternoon and a Penn preview tonight on BGA Premium. The game story will go up tomorrow night with a sidebar to be posted either tomorrow night or Sunday morning along with the regular follow.
