A few notes before heading to New Jersey this afternoon:
Find Dartmouth's game notes for the season finale against Princeton HERE.
•
Dartmouth is going with the more traditional look at Princeton:
Princeton, meanwhile, is going with the all-black look:
Green Alert Take: Still hard to believe fashion has become such a big thing. Maybe it's the Penn Stater in me, but I'm just fine with "black shoes, basic blues, no names, all game."
•
The Princeton football blog has a look ahead to Saturday's game that includes this:
“It does not get better than this,” said defensive end Brannon Jones. “To have a chance to play for the championship, at home, against a good Dartmouth team that you haven’t beaten, we could not ask for any more.”
•
The Daily Princetonian has a preview of sorts HERE. As for The Dartmouth, well, uh.
•
From the Columbia football blog:Dartmouth +14 1/2 at Princeton
I think the Big Green has enough fight left in them to make this closer. But the Tigers will still win.
•
The Valley News has a very nice profile of Folarin "Flo" Orimolade, Dartmouth's pro prospect linebacker and pass rusher extraordinaire HERE.
•
Speaking of Orimolade, he won a special award last night:

Senior linebacker Flo Orimolade is presented the Hard-Nose award by head football trainer Mike Derosier after practice last night.

At the conclusion of the final practice of the year the Dartmouth training staff presents its Hard-Nose Award to that player who has overcome the physical adversity in the best possible fashion to be a significant contributor to the team. While is chosen by the training staff without input from the Dartmouth coaches, Buddy Teevens thinks the trainers made the right choice, telling BGA:
"It’s perfectly fitting. He has made such a difference over the course of the last four years. He misses a lot of practices but he doesn’t miss games. He’s always bumped and bruised.
"We talk a lot about bumps and owwies. In addition to the hip he’s probably had everything known to man. But he continues to come out and rock and roll it. He is a special player and a special person and very deserving of this award.”All-Time Winners:
