Princeton never did post regular game notes online last week, although they were available in the press box. No idea if this is Cornell's version of game notes, but there's at least a two-deep. Check it out HERE.

The wise guys have Dartmouth as a 1½ point favorite out in Ithaca. In games Big Green fans will be keeping an eye on, the wise guys see Harvard as a 13½-point over Penn, but haven't yet chimed in on Princeton-Yale.
Sagarin sees Cornell as a 1½-point favorite over Dartmouth. The service has Harvard a 12-point favorite at Penn and Princeton as a 1½-point underdog at Yale.
Massey has Dartmouth winning at Cornell, 28-27, with 52 percent confidence. The service has Princeton falling at Yale, 28-21, with 76 percent confidence, and Harvard winning at Penn, 28-17, with 86 percent confidence.
For perspective, Massey had Princeton defeating Dartmouth last week, 21-20, with 51 percent confidence. Sagarin had Princeton as a three-point favorite over the Big Green.

FCS Football Central has updated its "playoff picture" and offers this (LINK):
Locks: None
Should Be In: None
Work To Do: Harvard, Princeton
As we predicted last week, Princeton defeated Dartmouth and placed Harvard back in control of this conference race. With Harvard’s win over the Tigers, it means that the Crimson would need to lose again, while Princeton wins its remaining two games to earn the auto-bid. It also means that the two-bid Ivy League is officially dead. Even at 8-2, Princeton and Harvard do not have the resume to earn an at-large bid.
Green Alert Take: While it may be true that "Even at 8-2, Princeton and Harvard do not have the resume to earn an at-large bid," Harvard does have the name recognition that wouldn't hurt its chances. Not sure about Princeton.

Tyrone Hendrix, the Dartmouth offensive quality control coach a handful of years ago, has been named interim head coach at New Mexico Military Institute, a military junior college in Roswell, N.M. Hendrix was in his second year as the school's offensive coordinator after serving for three years as head coach at Florida's Fivay High School. (LINK)

Brad Ausmus '91, who signed with the Yankees before ever playing for Dartmouth, has been hired as manager of the Houston Astros. Ausmus, who played 18 years in the big leagues, previously managed the Detroit Tigers for four years and also the Los Angeles Angels. He has been the Yankees' bench coach for the past three seasons.

EXTRA POINT
Hunters on our nearby trail are rare, but not unheard of, so it makes sense to wear blaze orange this time of year. Griff the Wonder Dog knew he was headed for the mountain as soon as he saw his vest come out yesterday.
