This And That

From Dartmouth's social media:

From the field to the boardroom, leadership translates.
Thanks to Jeff Immelt ’78 and Clay Adams ’93, ’99 former Dartmouth Big Green football players, for coming back to Dartmouth and dropping knowledge on leading through communication and action.#GoBigGreen | #TheWoods pic.twitter.com/URJtZJN2yZ

In the notes section of last night's BGA Overtime story, coach Sammy McCorkle discusses the impact Immelt 's talk had on his players and staff. (LINK)

Thursday's BGA Overtime report will feature a "mailbag" with your questions for Coach McCorkle. If you have something you'd like me to ask for you, click HERE. That will create a blank email to me with the subject line Questions for Coach. I'll ask your questions anonymously, and post his responses on BGA Overtime  the same way Thursday evening.

Green Alert Take: Questions have started to trickle in, but there have to be more out there, right?

HERO Sports has a listing of the top FCS linebackers this fall and former Dartmouth standout Zyion Freer-Brown, who grad transferred to The Citadel, comes in at No. 23. Current Ivy Leaguers who made the cut are No. 6 Sean Line (Harvard), No. 19 Phoenix Grant (Yale), and No. 26 Chase Christopher (Princeton). Find the full list HERE.

And on the subject of transfers, a piece headlined Duke must find Aaron Hall replacement at defensive tackle includes this (LINK):

Joining Watson and Anderson are Michigan/Penn State redshirt sophomore transfer Owen Wafle and Dartmouth graduate transfer Dakota Quiñonez. Wafle is a former 4-star recruit who is finally hoping to earn an opportunity to start for the Blue Devils, while Quiñonez, a first-team All-Ivy League defensive tackle, looks to be a key member of the rotation.

And one more note about transfers. Holy Cross went 12-1 in Bob Chesney's final season and followed that with 7-4, 6-6 and 3-9 records. Having become reaccustomed to winning, the Crusaders apparently are intent on doing so again.

Per HERO Sports, since last year Holy Cross has added FBS transfers from Pitt, Kentucky, Wake Forest, UConn (3), Boston College, Old Dominion and Georgia State. (LINK)

Speaking of the FBS, the American Football Coaches Association has come out with four proposals regarding the college calendar, including the elimination of conference championship games. (LINK)

News has broken about former Yale football coach Tony Reno's devastating medical diagnosis. While the Yale family will surely step forward to help, the rest of the Ivy League has an opportunity to do its part as well. From a fundraiser site:

There are challenges ahead that no family should have to carry alone — including financial pressures that impact every part of family life, now and in the days ahead. If you feel moved to contribute, know that anything given goes directly toward Tony and his family, so they can face what's ahead together.

EXTRA POINT

I almost never listen to the radio in my car. If I’m alone, I might put on a podcast or the news, but that’s about it.

On my way to campus for the first day of spring football, I accidentally discovered that, thanks to the wonders of satellite technology, my car had been receiving a free trial subscription to Sirius radio. Apparently, it had been active for more than a month, and I hadn’t noticed until driving to practice.

Saturday is the final day of spring football, and last week we got a letter saying the Sirius trial is ending Saturday. Great timing. And sorry, Sirius, but there will be no overtime.
