Best quote from the latest story on Callie Brownson, the Dartmouth quality control assistant:“I wanted to make sure I covered all the ground, but I didn’t know what that ground was,” Brownson said. “Being the first looks good on paper and those headlines are sweet, but in reality it’s more stressful.
“The minute I lose focus or look tired, people will say ‘I told you women weren’t capable of this’. That’s a big burden to carry, but the people I work with lighten it every day.”Find the full story in the Valley News.

Elsewhere today, the Princeton-Penn game kicks off at 1 p.m. There will surely be a lot of phones in the stands watching for updates. As if you needed the reminder, Dartmouth needs a win over Brown and a stumble by undefeated Princeton to grab a share of the Ivy League title with the Tigers.

With Army on the Dartmouth schedule in 2022 it will be instructive to see how the Colgate-Army game turns out today. Colgate is 9-0 and ranked 6th in the FCS Coaches Poll (Princeton is 9th and Dartmouth 20th) while Army is 8-2. From a STATS capsule:While Army's triple option offense ranks second in the FBS in rushing yards per game (307.2), Colgate has allowed only one rushing touchdown this season, outscoring opponents 287-29, including five shutouts.Colgate gave up its first touchdown since Sept. 1 last week.
That game is available at noon on the CBSSports Network.

And finally, That Certain Dartmouth '14-turned National Park Ranger arrived home last evening and will be at the game. She hasn't been at a game in several years because she's been on duty out at Yellowstone in the fall but it's a safe bet there isn't another woman graduate of the college who has been to as many Big Green games given that she started making road trips to games in a backpack, ran around the stands as a toddler, handed out stats in the press box as a middle-schooler and worked in sports information as a Dartmouth student.
