Tune In!

From a Dartmouth release:

HANOVER, N.H. — The COVID-19 pandemic may have wiped out the Dartmouth football fall season, but it hasn't wiped out the excitement around the program.

For 10 Saturdays this fall, coinciding with the dates of the originally scheduled games for 2020, fans can join The Woods Watch Party on the Dartmouth Football YouTube channel, reliving an exciting Big Green game with a twist. These broadcasts will include players and coaches that participated in those games Zooming in to provide insight into the plays on the field, the discussions on the sidelines and the strategies that went into each contest as the game plays out in real time.

Read the full release HERE.

The schedule:

The Dartmouth updates us on the status of former Dartmouth offensive tackle Matt Kaskey, former defensive end Niko Lalos and former corner Isiah Swann. Kaskey, of course, is on the Carolina Panthers' practice squad while Lalos is on the New York Giants' practice squad.

Swann reports that the failed physical that cost him a chance to make the Cincinnati Bengals' squad was related to the knee issue he battled last fall and that he's feeling better, working out hard and hoping for another shot.

The D also has a piece on what athletes on campus this fall will be doing. From the story (LINK):
The College’s plans align with the Ivy League’s rules for athletic activities, which permit training so long as that training adheres to state and university regulations. Dartmouth will follow a three-phase return-to-sport protocol in which student-athletes move through three phases: individual conditioning, small group workouts and finally small group practice sessions.

EXTRA POINT 

We are on the home stretch and should be back in Vermont later today. Yesterday we hit our first significant traffic jam of the entire trip with a delay of more than an hour on Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania after a car turned over. We spent the night in the driveway of a fellow VW bus owner courtesy of a website listing, and headed out at 5:30 this morning.

See you tomorrow.
