A New Name

Headed Dartmouth way is Ayden Sadler, a 6-foot-5, 215-pound tight end from Green Hill High School in Tennessee. Per the internet he had offers from Grambling and Eastern Kentucky. Here's his commitment graphic:

A reminder that Dartmouth is playing Columbia Friday at 6 p.m. at Buddy Teevens Stadium so look for the BGA Overtime preview on Thursday this week.

Craig Haley at The Analyst has a story headlined Hot or Not? How the Title Races Are Shaping Up in FCS Conferences, that includes this (LINK):
Ivy League (Hot)
That the Ancient Eight decided to reverse a postseason ban and send its champion to this year’s playoffs for the first time is a key storyline of the regular season. Slow the brakes on talk of No. 18 Harvard (5-0, 2-0) being in command of the race as the Crimson still have a road game against Princeton (2-0 in the league) next Saturday, then Dartmouth, at Columbia, Penn (2-0 in league) and at archrival Yale.

EXTRA POINT

We've lived here in our Vermont hillside home for six years now, and I'd venture to say I've hiked the trail just down the road more than 1,000 times in that time and have never seen a bear. What I have seen (and heard), several times, is an older fellow hiking with bear bells jingling on hiking poll.


Each time I've seen the fellow I have to laugh to myself. First, because black bears – the kind who carried trash cans out of our garage when we lived on Moose Mountain – are actually pretty timid. And because, as I said, I've hiked that trail day after day, at all different times of the day, and have never seen a bear.


You know where this is going. Or maybe you don't.


No, I didn't see a bear on the trail. But Mrs. BGA, who hiked the trail for the first time by herself last week, actually did come across one up near the peak.


Bear bell guy was nowhere to be seen, but he might be interested to know that not only did the bear not scare Mrs. BGA, but she scared the bear. To her chagrin, while she was trying to get her phone to grab a picture, the bear spotted her and ran off.
