Recruiting guru Mide Farrell's site now has a piece headlined Top FCS Players to Watch in Transfer Portal – Offense and Dartmouth tight end Chris Corbo is one of five Ivy Leaguers among the 17 players listed:

QB Jaden Craig – Harvard

OG Derek Osman – Harvard

OT Netinho Olivieri – UPenn

WR Jared Richardson – UPenn

TE Chris Corbo – Dartmouth

Of Corbo, the site includes this:

Senior

6-foot-5, 250-pounds

North Caldwell, New Jersey

2024/2025 Stats: In his last 20 games, Corbo had 77 receptions for 831 yards and 11 touchdowns; in 2025 he finished with 45 receptions for 516 yards and four touchdowns

One point worth noting. Because the portal doesn’t open until next month the only players technically available now are seniors, and all of the Ivy Leagues listed are seniors.

This is kind of fun. Former Dartmouth defensive lineman-turned-Olympic gold medal shot-putter Adam Nelson's '97 daughters attend his alma mater, The Lovett School in Atlanta. Daughter Caroline is now playing flag football for the school and her sister, Lauren wrote a story about her HERE.

EXTRA POINT

For a long time we have had a fancy Christmas tree stand that makes getting the tree up straight and stable eazy peazy. Except, it turns out, when it doesn't.

Apparently, for the first time ever, we didn't get the tree properly situated in the stand. We found that out today when it started to lean as the last decoration was going on. Unfortunately, we have no alternative but to de-decorate the tree, reset the stump in the stand, and decorate again. And so you know, our tree has a lot of ornaments.

This predicament calls to mind the little parade we have in our town. It runs less than a quarter of a mile and then turns around. The saying is, "It's so nice you see it twice."

I guess our tree this year is, so nice, we'll decorate it twice. (Although the be perfectly honest, Mrs. BGA does almost all of the decorating. My super power is de-decorating. ;-)
