Getting In A New York State Of Mind

Cornell's game notes for Dartmouth have been posted HERE.

From a Daily Princetonian look back at Dartmouth and ahead to Yale (LINK):

Entering Saturday’s game against Dartmouth, Princeton’s defense was allowing only nine points per game. However, the unit had often been overshadowed by the Tigers offense’s averaging 50 points per game. After Saturday, that should no longer be the case.

Green Alert Take: Well said.

Princeton football hasn't done any losing this fall and Rutgers hasn't done much winning, but I give the Scarlet Knights the edge in logos the schools introduced yesterday in advance of the 150th celebration of their match considered the first college football game. What think you?

Green Alert Take: Get used to seeing that Princeton logo. It will be on prominent display ahead of the Dartmouth-Princeton game at Yankee Stadium next fall. While the game is officially part of Dartmouth's 250th anniversary celebration (LINK) it's being played three days after the 150th anniversary of the historic Princeton-Rutgers game.

Green Alert Take II: It's a shame Princeton and Rutgers aren't playing each other to celebrate the sesquicentennial.

Green Alert Take III: Rutgers, 1-8 with its lone win over Texas State in the opener, should be thanking its lucky stars that the 150th anniversary wasn't this year and that 8-0 Princeton wasn't on the schedule.
