What Dorothy said to Toto came to mind when I saw this post from former Dartmouth tight end Chris Corbo:
Corbo's message in full:
"Tech Fans! Come join me and @capital.vacations at the Men’s Basketball game tonight for your chance at a free vacation. See you there. Sting ‘Em!"
Corbo's social media directs those interested in doing business with him to the agency representing him as a grad transfer at Georgia Tech. A visit to the agency's site finds another former Dartmouth pass catcher among the 38 clients listed on its roster (LINK):
That's wide receiver Grayson O'Bara, who grad transferred to North Texas. AJ Surace, the Rutgers quarterback and son of Princeton coach Bob Surace, is another client as are Leonard Fournette and other NFL players from the Colts, Bucs, Falcons, Cowboys, Broncos and Jaguars.Green Alert Take: Yup, Corbo and O'Bara are not in Hanover anymore.

Craig Haley at The Analyst has a piece headlined Spring (Practice) Forward: Five Questions For the 2026 FCS Football Season. A section titled What's Different in 2026 includes this (LINK):
The head coaching carousel has brought change to 25 FCS programs, including four making straight FCS-to-FCS moves: Eddie Robinson Award recipient Kevin Cahill (Lehigh to Yale), Rick Santos (New Hampshire to Penn), Joel Taylor (West Georgia to Mercer) and Steve Englehart (Presbyterian to West Georgia).
In a podcast with Sam Herder of HERO Sports, Haley offers a few thoughts about the new Ivy League coaches. Here's a lightly edited version of what he had to say in the podcast (LINK):
It is quite the boon for the Ivy League to make these two hires. Rick Santos at New Hampshire – I feel that's the biggest surprise out of the 25 hires that have occurred this offseason. I remember it was announced at 10 a. m. Eastern on a Saturday morning when it became official. It was just, wow, I can't believe this is happening because he starred at quarterback for UNH. He was a Walter Payton Award recipient there. He played and coached under Coach McDonnell and spent five years as their head coach. Basically two decades at the school. You wouldn't think he'd be leaving. But, they are attractive, Ivy League institutions. It's good football. There's money there. I think that was the biggest surprise of all.
And the most recent one with coach Cahill leaving Lehigh. He was on staff there under Tony Reno for 10 years. I guess you would think he would be more entrenched at Lehigh after winning two straight titles and the Eddie Robinson Award. And the Patriot League getting so much stronger now with some of their additions school-wise. That is not as surprising, other than the fact that, you would have thought maybe he was a little more entrenched after the recent years at Lehigh. These are just great hires. So great, great hires there for Penn and for Yale.

EXTRA POINT
I found myself thinking about Erma Bombeck's book The Grass Is Always Greener over the Septic Tank this morning when I looked out our kitchen windows.Just a few feet away from our house the piping for our septic goes through an effluent filter buried not far below the ground. This morning – for the first time since before Christmas – I saw a small patch of snow-free ground above the filter. Seeing that little patch of bare ground is kind of like the first robin of spring . . . but stinkier.
(I'm taking a little poetic license. There's no smell until I dig up the filter to hose it off each spring when the ground dries out. Yuck.)
