A story in Virginia's Daily Press under the headline Dust off your tailgate grill and find that lucky jersey - college football is just 100 days away reminds us that while it seems as if he moved on years ago onetime Dartmouth quarterback Bruce Dixon has still another year of eligibility on the college gridiron. From a quick capsule on Hampton University:Spring practice ended with a four-man QB race between seniors Bruce Dixon and Austin Bradley, sophomore Isaiah Robinson (a transfer from Maine), and redshirt freshman Dallas Hall. Dixon, a transfer from Dartmouth, started once last season.In case you are wondering the game the story is referring to that's 100 days away pits Florida against Miami on the night of Aug. 24.
The 2019 season will actually begin earlier in the day when Colgate helps kick off the 150th anniversary of college football with a nationally televised game against Villanova on CBS Sports Network. (STORY HERE)
With a game on Aug. 24, Colgate is opening the season 29 days ahead of Dartmouth, which kicks off Sept. 21 at Jacksonville. The Raiders, by the way, aren't afraid of a challenge. After opening against Villanova they travel to Air Force, have a bye week and then visit William & Mary and host Maine before traveling to Hanover to play the Big Green.

Former Dartmouth pitcher Kyle Hendricks had another impressive outing for the Chicago Cubs last night. "The Professor" had as many hits as he surrendered (three) while going eight innings, striking out seven and allowing just one walk on 97 pitches. He drove in two runs and dropped his ERA to 2.86 while earning his third win.From an MLB story that features manager Joe Maddon talking about the Dartmouth grad:
Over his past five turns, Hendricks has spun a tidy 1.95 ERA with 31 strikeouts against four walks in 37 innings.
