Don't Miss This


If you click on just one of the many videos you find on BGA Daily over the course of the year make it is this one from HuffPost. And if you doubt a woman can or should coach football, this may change your mind. Watch the video HERE.
The Daily Pennsylvanian, which still actually covers Penn sports, has a preview of the Dartmouth-Penn game HERE.

A couple of quick takes from the story about Penn looking for payback after losing on the final play last year in Philly:
“It’s been a bad taste in our mouth for the whole past year,” senior offensive lineman and captain Tommy Dennis said. “We just wanna come out and play the best way we can and make up for last year.”
And . . .
“Dartmouth is known for their smash-mouth football … and we’re gonna combat that with loading up in the box and meeting them at the line of scrimmage,” sophomore linebacker Brian O’Neill said. “It’s just gonna be a battle of who wants it more, and who can outlast the other when we’re exchanging blows at the line.”
Penn's game notes have been posted HERE.
By the way, not that being the STATS national defensive player of the week for his performance against Holy Cross isn't recognition enough, but Dartmouth defensive back Isiah Swann isn't getting the same kind of support in the HERO Sports poll. If you think three interceptions in a half and holding a team without a first down for three quarters is worthy, cast your vote for him HERE.
