This picture is from a video shot at Dartmouth's Morton Farm. Stay tuned for an explanation and upcoming video from the Dartmouth football office. ;-)

With the unfortunate closing of Salt hill, one of the favorite meetings places on Dartmouth football weekends disappeared.
Fear not, a new establishment now has bravely opened during the pandemic at the same location and it's the first dedicated sports bar/restaurant in Hanover. The Dartmouth has a story HERE
Wow!
Yesterday's post about the lack of responses for Saturday's Questions for Coach column on BGA Premium hit the mark. Thanks for a terrific selection of questions for coach Buddy Teevens. That said, there's still time for more.
If you've got a question, CLICK HERE to email it my way. Either that or send me an email with the subject line QuestionsForCoach, using the address most of you already have. Or you can use the contact form over there on the side. I'll select a representative sampling of your questions, ask them (anonymously of course) and include them in Saturday's BGA Premium story.
Thanks.

Northwestern announced Wednesday that athletic director Mike Polisky is resigning after just 10 days on the job amid controversy surrounding his promotion from his prior post as deputy athletic director for external affairs. Detractors have criticized the hiring of Polisky as he is among four defendants in a lawsuit filed against the university in January by a former Northwestern cheerleader.

Remember that story about how Kentucky was going to allow high school athletes a COVID redshirt year? Turns out the top player in the state is going to return for another year in order to improve his chances of landing a scholarship. Cameron Hergott, a 6-foot quarterback whose only offer to date has been to walk on at Akron, will do a final year of high school:
He won Mr. Football.
— Joe Danneman (@FOX19Joe) May 11, 2021
He won a state championship.
But he wants something else.

Green Alert Take: My first reaction was that this was completely ridiculous, and it is. You shouldn't be returning to high school entirely for athletics. But then again, all he is doing is exactly what so many college athletes are doing. Trust me, the transfer portal isn't about academics and neither are the majority of "grad transfer" situations. Then something else occurred to me. Sure, the majority of kids who end up in the Ivy League after going the post-graduate route take the extra year to get their grades and board scores in order. But not all of them. Some, yes even in the Ivy League, take a PG year almost entirely to raise their athletic stock. OK, it's not the same as returning to your same high school but really, is it all that different?

EXTRA POINT
Last year we had an electrician do some work, and in need of a follow-up we gave him a call and left a message on his answering machine. Then we called again and left another message. Then we emailed him. Then we left another message. And still he hasn't gotten back to us.
While I sitting in the stands at Memorial Field before the start of practice earlier this week I emailed a different electrician we had used when we did a major reno on our house on Moose Mountain. I had held off on touching base with him because it's a long way from his place to our Vermont hillside. I heard back from this fellow even before practice ended, and he said while he's been very busy he'd be glad to fit us in.
Because of the travel distance it's going to cost us a little extra to bring our old electrician here, but I'm more than glad to pay the difference. Good service is always worth the money.
