A Fitting Tribute

By now you've probably seen this but it's worth another look:

With the NFL Draft front and center for three days, the Ivy League has posted a Craig Haley piece headlined, NFL continues to be covered in Ivy – Ivy Leaguers, that is. The Ivy League's impact on the NFL is broken down into sections titled Players, Coaches, Front Office/Ownership, League and Media.

Editor's Note: The list of Ivy Leaguers involved with the NFL isn't comprehensive. Dartmouth has a significant number of other alumni associated with NFL teams who were not mentioned.

Defensive Coordinator Don Dobes took time after practice last night to talk about where the Dartmouth defense is right now and that story is live on BGA Premium right now. The Big Green closes out the third week of spring practice tomorrow morning on Memorial Field and as always, there will be a report on BGA tomorrow night.

EXTRA POINT
Remember that bit posted here a few days ago about the impending start of mowing season here in Northern New England?

It's here. 

A few days ago I unplugged the electric lawn tractor and cut about half an acre in an area where for some reason the grass grows like crazy.

The sun is already drying out the dew this morning and with showers predicted off and on for the next few days I better get out there while I can or our Vermont hillside is going to need to be hayed.

The white stripe in this shot I took from the BGA World Headquarters this morning is fog coming off the Connecticut River. Those are the White Mountains looming in the background.
