A Look Into The Future

With the long-awaited news yesterday that Central Connecticut would fill out next fall's dance card for the Dartmouth football team, here's what we know (or think we know) about schedules that the incoming freshmen will play in their careers. The trip to Central Connecticut next fall might suggest the 2027 game with the Blue Devils will be flipped, but only time will tell.


And in case you are looking ahead to 2029, all we know beyond the usual order of Ivy League games beginning with Penn on Sept. 29 is that the lone non-conference game that has gone public is a Sept. 25 contest at Towson down in Maryland. That's a makeup for the 2020 game schedule to be played at Towson that did not take place because of COVID. That contest was the back end of a home-and-home with the Tigers that began with a 20-16 in 2016.

Green Alert Take: Dartmouth used to publish "future schedules" on its website, but that has unfortunately gone the way of media guides.

Back to Central Connecticut, former Dartmouth wide receiver Isaac Boston '24, who caught a 12-yard touchdown pass against his former team in the Blue Devils' 20-16 loss in Hanover last fall, is getting social media help from his agent as he prepares for his Pro Day. Boston caught 21 passes for 243 yards and five touchdowns for Central last fall and 35 passes for 354 yards and one touchdown in a Dartmouth uniform.

EXTRA POINT

We still haven't had a big storm this winter but the never-ending little ones are adding up. I had to strap these puppies on my uh, puppies (?) yesterday to do my daily hike, and I'm here to tell  you it was a ton of work getting to the top of the mountain. At one point my left snowshoe slid off and my leg sunk into snow up to my hip. Pulling it back out getting it onto the snowshoe again was a comedy of errors.
