Looking Ahead

FBS Schedules has posted skeds for Ivy League teams next fall and there are curiosities surrounding both Columbia and Yale. The former still has an open date on Oct. 7 (Jake Novak of Roar Lions writes about that HERE), and the latter is listed with a whopping seven home games. Neither Columbia nor Yale has posted their official 2023 schedules so there could be adjustments. Stay tuned.

Also, keep in mind there will be games shifted to Friday night for TV purposes.

In anticipation of the opening of spring football practice, Dartmouth players are going through "mat drills" at 6 a.m. this week. Curious about the term mat drills? Check out an older BGA Daily post for the origin story HERE.

With spring football practice scheduled to begin on Tuesday, BGA Premium will kick into gear that night HERE. As is always the case, a good number of you will have forgotten your passwords. A reminder that for the protection of those of you who re-use passwords (you know who you are), I don't have access to your passwords. There is a small "forgot" link on the sign-in that will allow you to get up and going again.

EXTRA POINT
We arrived home from San Diego last night (this morning) at precisely 3 a.m.. Suffice it to say it was an eventful two weeks that now has been capped by a lollapalooza case of "airplane ear" that I am battling. Swallow, yawn, chew as I might, I can't shake it. It feels as if someone smeared a tablespoon of peanut butter in my ear. A little Googling tells me my blocked right ear could stay that way for a few days. Hope not.

And you wonder why I prefer train travel?  ;-)
