Save The Date(s)


It took a a little time but I finally have those two important dates you've been looking for ;-)

This year's Ivy League championship awards banquet/brunch will be held on Sunday, April 3.

The Green-White Spring Game is set for Saturday, May 7.

Green Alert Take: For the first time, I will have to bring in someone to cover the spring game for BGA. The Green-White coincides with graduation weekend for That Certain Nittany Lion Senior so I'll be out in Happy Valley. I'd been hoping the spring game was the weekend before but no luck :-(
It isn't often that you smile reading a story about Dartmouth losing a promising recruit to Princeton but there will be more than a few people who will take satisfaction in something the high school senior told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette blog:
"Dartmouth did have some things better than Princeton, like a little better facilities."
Talk about things you never would have read before the Floren Varsity House was built!

So you want to be a college football coach? You might end up on a first-name basis with Bekins Van Lines or United or Mayflower.

Football Scoop has a note about James Jones joining the staff at Northern Colorado for the second time. Jones also did two stints at Dartmouth under Buddy Teevens. Add it up and he's had a dozen stops just since 1998: Morehouse, Cornell, Wagner, Texas Southern, Prairie View, Dartmouth, Kansas State, Kentucky State, Dartmouth again, Northern Colorado, San Jose State and now Northern Colorado again.
