"O" Yes


This is a screenshot from an Adobe Spark presentation created by Dartmouth and headlined Explosive Offense; Meet the Dartmouth Football Offense. View it HERE.

The presentation features bios of each of the Big Green coaches on the offensive side of the ball with full-screen photos of each and this compilation:
Dartmouth football fans who lamented the closing of Salt hill Pub just a short walk from Memorial Field will be happy to know the space should be ready to welcome them the next time the Big Green takes the field. A STORY in the local Valley News says it will be filled by . . .

. . ."a sports bar and grill to be named Dunk’s, which will seat 110 inside and 30 outside and display images from Dartmouth sports history and a “regulation-size basketball hoop” hung behind the bar."

And . . .

(Owner Tony) "Barnett promises that the Dunk’s menu — the restaurant is named after his 10-year old son, Duncan, a sports fan whose nickname is “Dunk” — will go beyond typical sports bar fare of buffalo chicken wings and platters of nachos smothered in cheese and include a line of flat-top griddle burgers, a chilled lobster salad, mussels and a Cajun chicken sandwich “borrowed” from Barry’s Bar & Grill in Lincoln, Neb. 

“We want to be the Dartmouth sports bar, the place you go after a game,” Barnett said.

Also from the local daily there's a COLUMN under the headline, Lawsuit shows problems with sex assault probes and race at Dartmouth," that addresses an issue faced by a Big Green football player.

Recognize this, Ivy League fans? It's a game called football played between teams representing two American universities. In this screengrab from a game played yesterday, it's national championship contender James Madison (purple shirts) against Morehead State of the Pioneer Football League. JMU won the game, 52-0, which is part of the first-ever FCS spring season.

EXTRA POINT
With light shooting through the clouds the sunrise viewed from our hill in Vermont yesterday almost looked like a rocket launch and sent me scurrying for a camera:


Believe it or not, what appears to be mountain peaks is instead cloud cover over Mount Moosilauke.
