Preview of Previews


Dartmouth opponent previews began last week on Big Green Alert Premium with detailed looks at Brown, Columbia and Cornell. Previews on tap this week:
  • Today – Harvard
  • Tomorrow – Penn
  • Wednesday – Princeton
  • Thursday – Yale
  • Friday – Bucknell
Previews will wrap up just in time for the start of Big Green practice next week. Dartmouth will hold its first official on-field practice Aug. 25.


Dartmouth will play its first intersectional game in many years when Butler University visits Hanover on Sept. 15, 2012. The Big Green then travels to Indianapolis to face the Bulldogs on Sept. 21, 2013. While it's safe to say Butler Bowl won't be confused any time soon with Franklin Field or Harvard Stadium or Princeton Stadium, it won't look like this when Dartmouth visits.

Check out a video from the start of Butler practice that touches on the work being done on the facility. For a video illustration of how the stadium is supposed to look when it is finished, click here. Photos of the work finished as of late July can be found here.

The hot topic in the Patriot League is scholarships and the Chu Chu Rah Rah Holy Cross blog has posted a commentary that is serving as a petition for reinstallment of scholarships at the school. (And in case you were wondering, Chu, Chu, Rah, Rah! is a Holy Cross fight song.)

EphBlog, "Your UNofficial source for All Things Eph!" takes a look at new Dartmouth Athletic Director Harry Sheehy. Lots to digest in the posting before reaching the conclusion:
... I think that President Kim had certain priorities in mind when he picked Sheehy. I suspect he will be pleased with the result.
