While the Green-White game is still 11 days away most of Dartmouth's 2019 opponents have already wrapped up spring drills:• Read a little about the Yale spring game and some very, very good news for one Bulldog in a story in the New Haven Register.

• Penn's spring game took place in the China Ambassador's Bowl, a game in which the Quakers led at halftime, 57-0. (LINK)

I'm as guilty as anyone of lamenting the move away from playing traditional football rivals (like Holy Cross, New Hampshire and Patriot League schools) to pick up games against schools from the Pioneer Football League and Northeast Conference.
