One More Day

The tongue-in-cheek Fearful Forecast went up on BGA Overtime last night, picking the winners and scores of each game this week featuring a Dartmouth opponent. Look for the Dartmouth season preview on the site tonight, as well as a preview of the opener against New Hampshire. Two more reasons to visit BGA Overtime tonight. ;-)

#

WMUR, the TV station out of Manchester, N.H., takes a look at Dartmouth's side of tomorrow's "Granite Bowl:"


#

The Dartmouth has a preview of sorts HERE, and a story about the Big Green's new assistant coaches HERE.
#

The Ivy League produced this video with the coaches talking about the Ivy champion finally being allowed to participate in the playoffs.

Green Alert Take: Once more with feeling. If everyone felt this way, why did it take so long for the Ivy presidents to see the light?

#

New Hampshire has posted its game notes with depth charts for both teams HERE.

#

In his Week One picks podcast, Jake Novak of the Roar Lions site, says Dartmouth-UNH . . .

. . . "may be the most exciting and interesting week one opener in all of the Ivy League this year.

And . . . 

"Dartmouth is a 2½-point underdog at home against the University of New Hampshire. This, I feel like,  is a gift. . . . I think Dartmouth is going to win this game, so again I think they're going to cover the 2½ that they're being given, so take Dartmouth there."

#

A reminder that in addition to being streamed on ESPN+, tomorrow's game will be broadcast on NESN (New England Sports Network).

#

Do me a favor.  Check out the Ivy League release on the start of the season HERE.

Now check out the Patriot League weekly release on their season HERE.

Green Alert Take: As they said in school, compare and contrast.

#

I'll admit I didn't spend much time watching it last night, but the national broadcast of a 28-17 Rice win over Charlotte featured Dartmouth graduates on both teams. Ejike Adele had three tackles and a quarterback hurry for Rice, while former teammate Braden Mullen had one stop for Charlotte.

EXTRA POINT

We all know about robins migrating and how their arrival back north each year is a sign of spring (even if they don't all migrate). What I had not realized – but should have – is that hummingbirds also migrate. We have a feeder on a window in our kitchen and there hasn't been a hummer stop by for several weeks. A little Googling informed me that they generally head south in late summer/early fall, and can fly 20 hours a day, covering as much as 500 miles. It can take them 2-3 weeks to make it to their winter home and some who spent their summer feeding at our kitchen window will be right back here next year.
