2024

New to this page is the 2024 schedule off to the right. Please note the "Subject to change" qualification. It's there for two reasons.

First, with Army joining theAmerican Athletic Conference next year there are a lot of phone calls in and out of West Point as the brass tries to reconfigure the schedule. There has been no official announcement out of Dartmouth as to the fate of the game at Army although one is expected in the near future. (For detailed look at Army's scheduling conundrum posted by a fan, click HERE.)

The second reason for the qualification is that the expectation is that at least one Dartmouth game will be shifted to a Friday night for TV purposes.

Dartmouth's newest entry to the transfer portal is 6-foot-5, 295-pound offensive lineman Ethan Sipe. His highlights show something that's easy to miss if your eyes tend to follow the ball on game days. And that is, he likes to finish off his blocks. ;-)

I have officially entered the transfer portal as a grad transfer with 2 years of eligibility. Will graduate in spring. I would like to thank the entire Dartmouth coaching staff and my teammates for making my time unforgettable.

Green Alert Take: Rest assured, there are more out there and a lot of contact between coaches and players.  Feel free to share what you hear.

This was on today's TigerBlog and it's food for thought (LINK):

(Princeton linebacker) Ozzie Nicholas was the only defensive player to be a unanimous first-team All-Ivy League selection but was not a finalist for the Bushnell Cup? Actually, there were four unanimous first-team All-Ivy selections in all, with Harvard running back Shane McLaughlin and Yale wide receiver Mason Tipton on offense and Columbia punter William Hughes on special teams.

None of those four were finalists for the Bushnell Cup, which has two on offense (Yale QB Nolan Grooms and Brown WR Wes Rockett) and two on defense (Dartmouth DL Charlie Looes and Penn DL Joey Slackman).

A Tweet by Craig Haley:

With Marist's Jim Parady announcing his retirement today, the longest-tenured active Division I head football coach is now Monmouth's Kevin Callahan (first season in 1993) followed by Harvard's Tim Murphy (1994). 

Parady had been at Marist since 1992.

Prospective Ivy League student-athletes and their families may get something from this. It does not feature anyone from Dartmouth, nor from Ivy League football, but there are still some interesting points to consider:

EXTRA POINT
With about five inches of snow on the trail, Mrs. BGA and I brought Griff the Wonder Dog along a couple of days ago on our hike to the summit. Griff bsolutely loves the the white stuff but we have to pay attention to the condition of the snow before deciding to bring him along. If it's too wet, it clumps on his paws and he will periodically stop to try to chew small snowballs off his feet. If it's really granular it won't clump but can open cuts on his paw pads. We have booties for him but they have a tendency to fall off if we don't tighten them so much that you wonder if they are about to cut off circulation. I've been batting around an idea about making "suspenders" that loop over Griff's back from one booty to another to keep them in place. That could be interesting, huh? Stay tuned.
