Former Dartmouth offensive lineman Delby Lemieux is already up on the Minnesota Vikings' roster page (LINK).
Green Alert Take: While Lemieux is on the Vikes' page, former Dartmouth defensive tackle Josiah Green hasn't yet been added to the Tampa Bay Bucs' page. You can bet after "College" for Green it will say Duke, although I'm sure he would prefer Duke/Dartmouth.

HERO Sports has a ranking of what it calls the top 25 returning quarterbacks in the FCS this fall. The good news is that Dartmouth's Grayson Saunier comes in at No. 18. The Big Green will face four quarterbacks who are ranked, with three ahead of Saunier.
Because lists that go from 25 to 1 can be annoying, I've flipped it so the No. 1 returning QB is at the top and No. 25 is at the bottom. Find the original list HERE if you prefer.
1. Beau Brungard, Youngstown State
2. Justin Lamson, Montana State
3. Keali’i Ah Yat, Montana
4. Chris Parson, Austin Peay

With the weather improving (not today ;-) we've gotten a bit lax about shutting our garage doors. As a result, they've sometimes been open all day, and the occasional sparrow has found its way inside. When that happens it's not unusual to head out and find a scared bird crashing into the six windows in the garage before finally escaping through the open doors.
In the garage several days ago I found, uh, "reminders" that at least one bird had been spending time on the steering wheel of my electric tractor. Directly under where it apparently perched were four or five telltale white circles. That evidence was a reminder we have to be better about keeping the doors shut.
We've been good about it ever since, but because there's loft in the garage I worry we may have trapped one of the birds nesting inside and, sadly, discover that when it's too late.
