All-New England, Part II

Yesterday's announcement that offensive lineman Kyle Brown, linebacker Braden Mullen, tight end Chris Corbo and defensive back Jordan Washington had been named to the All-New England team had me scurrying to find who else had been chosen to the regional all-star team. The New England Football Writers didn't post the team until after BGA went to bed so here it is, a day late with Dartmouth players and those the Big Green faced in their school colors:

^2022 &2023 selection from Yale University

#2021 & 2022 Selection from Sacred Heart University

Green Alert Take: It always surprises me how few players from FBS schools UConn (3), Boston College (2) and UMass (1) are selected to the team.

Speaking of Mullen, he's hearing from a good number of teams as a grad transfer with Memphis, Nevada, Alabama-Birmingham, Toledo, Miami and New Hampshire among them. No telling if coaches spend much time perusing online highlight videos but this one is a lot of fun to watch:

EXTRA POINT

With the unseasonably warm weather we enjoyed into early November we ran the '84 VW camper much later into the season than usual. In fact, it was still out there parked next to the garage – instead of inside it – when we got our first measurable snow late last week. Sometime in the next few days we've got to rearrange all the junk in the garage to be able to shimmy the old bus into place for its long winter sleep.


As for the snow, you can see it in this sunrise pic snapped here at the BGA World Headquarters by That Certain Nittany Lion '16 before we headed to Happy Valley on the morning after Thanksgiving.
