Charts posted as part of the BGA Premium opponent series include the average finish in the Ivy League standings by each of the eight schools over the past five seasons. Can't say I had it figured this way:
Yale 2.2
Dartmouth 2.4
Princeton 2.8
Penn 4.0
Columbia 4.2
Harvard 4.2
Cornell 5.2
Brown 7.6
A reminder that BGA Premium has begun daily postings with a look at Dartmouth's opponents over a 10-day span. The Lehigh preview went up last night and the New Hampshire preview will be posted this evening. Practice reports begin one week from tomorrow.

Kevin Kelly, who coached running backs under Buddy Teevens at Dartmouth in 1991, spent three years with Teevens at Tulane and then returned to the Big Green to coach linebackers under John Lyons in 1995, is returning once again to New Hampshire. This time he will serve as head coach of the new program at New England College, a school of roughly 1,775 undergraduates in Henniker, N.H., about 60 miles southeast of Dartmouth. From a story in the Concord Monitor (LINK):
After a half-century without a football team, New England College has named Kevin Kelly as its new head coach. Kelly will lead the program as the sport prepares to return to play for the 2024 season.
And . . .
Kelly comes to Henniker with a good deal of coaching experience. He was the head coach at Georgetown University from 2006-13, winning Patriot League Coach of the Year honors for the 2011 season. He also has a Granite State connection, having served two stints as an assistant at Dartmouth, winning an Ivy League championship with head coach Buddy Teevens in 1991.
Find a press release introducing Kelly on the New England College website HERE.
Kelly led Georgetown to an 8-3 record in 2011 and a tie for second place in the Patriot League standings. He left the Hoyas after a 2-9 finish in 2013 to become defensive coordinator at Ball State under Pete Lembo, who he had worked alongside at Dartmouth.

With yet another day punctuated by drenching rain in the books it was a beautiful morning to hit my soggy trail. The view from the top just after 6 a.m. was glorious:
