Offensive Line U

Buckle up because the BGA positional survey begins today with a look at the offensive line. A reminder that this is based on All-Ivy League teams chosen by the coaches with first-team selections assigned five points, second-team three points and honorable-mention picks one point. The charts show the percentage of available points earned by each team, first over the last 10 seasons and second over the last 20.


Over the last 10 seasons, Harvard is O-Line U, followed closely by Dartmouth and Princeton.


Over the 20-season span Harvard's dominance up front is even more pronounced.

Tomorrow: Tight end

EXTRA POINT - For those of you following along, instead of a beach day yesterday was spent playing Scrabble and Boggle at the motel in Manchester NH between numerous phone calls trying to find a way to San Diego before our rebooked Friday flight. 

We found a way but it’s not direct.  Southwest let us switch to a flight out of Boston this afternoon. So we had to Uber 25 minutes to a bus station and then take a 75-minutes bus ride to Logan. Then we have a flight to Chicago and a four-plus hour layover. We are due in San Diego at 11:25 pm and then Uber five minutes to our Turo car rental. Then it’s 40 minutes to the campground where we hope we can get in and set the tent up in the dark. It will all be worth it to wake up to the sound of the Pacific Ocean right below the tent rather than two more days in snowy NH.
