Check It Out

Have a question for Dartmouth football coach Sammy McCorkle but no opportunity to ask it? Email the question my way before the end of the day Friday by clicking HERE. That will send me a message with the subject line, QuestionsForCoach. After the next practice I attend I’ll ask coach McCorkle a representative selection of reader-submitted questions, and post his responses on BGA Overtime. Thanks for the questions already sent along, and keep ‘em coming!

Following yesterday’s game-like scrimmage on Memorial Field, the Big Green lined up in front of the home stands to sing the alma mater. Check out BGA Overtime for a story out of what was an impressive scrimmage.

EXTRA POINT

The overnight temperature here at our Vermont hillside home a half hour north of Dartmouth dropped to a brisk 37.1 degrees. Could those first few snowflakes be far behind?
