All-Ivy League

The All-Ivy League teams are in and Dartmouth had six on each of the first two teams. Harvard led the way with 15 selections overall, followed by Penn (14), Dartmouth and Yale (12 each), Princeton (10), Brown (9), and Columbia and Cornell (5 each).

Harvard, Yale and Penn had a league-high seven first-team picks each.

Dartmouth's dozen picks in the first two rounds represented a league high.

Big Green offensive tackle Delby Lemieux was one of four offensive players chosen unanimously.

*Unanimous Selectio

 + Team Expanded Due to Tie in Voting


Green Alert Take: Maybe someone with an Ivy League degree can explain how Jaden Craig can be a unanimous selection at quarterback and yet be joined on the first team by Penn's Liam O'Brien. And while we are at it, there are eight teams in the Ivy League and no fewer than half of them had quarterbacks chosen on the first or second team. Sorry, but the math doesn't work.


Apparently while I wasn't watching the Ivy League ended its gala finalists presentation for the player of the year awards and instead named them along with the All-Ivy teams. None of the selections should be a surprise:

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR (BUSHNELL CUP )

Josh Pitsenberger, Yale (Sr., RB)

 

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR (BUSHNELL CUP)

*Abu Kamara, Yale (Jr., DB)

 

SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE YEAR

EXTRA POINT

It took three rounds of backing in and pulling out of the garage – and then inching back and forth more times than I care to remember – to tuck our 1984 VW Westfalia into its winter hideaway while still leaving room for our cars. "Wiffle" – so named for its color – is a four-speed stick without power steering, and I'm here to tell you putting in hibernation was a pretty good workout.
