The prominence of the word Homecoming on this T-shirt offered by the Co-op would not have been received well by a certain Dartmouth alum. He reminded us in the sports information office years ago, and in no uncertain terms, that this weekend is to be referred to as Dartmouth Night and most assuredly not as homecoming because at Dartmouth alumni are always welcome home. The shirt is available HERE.

The Offshore Wise Guys are a little late getting their odds up this week. Worried about that Dartmouth-Yale game are they? As of 9 a.m. they had just two FCS games listed with Princeton a 29-point favorite over Lafayette one of them.Rather than wait on the rest, how about a look back at what the OWG had for last week and how it turned out?
Dartmouth was a 14.5-point favorite at Penn and won by 13.
Princeton was a 21-point favorite at home against Columbia and won by 11.
Brown was a 14.5-point underdog at home against Rhode Island and lost by three.
Cornell was a 4.5-point favorite at home against Georgetown and lost by six.
Harvard was a 24.5-point favorite at home against Howard and won by 45.
