Won't be able to make the Dartmouth-New Hampshire game on Oct. 16? FloFootball has you covered.

One day after UNH announced its game times, the service has posted that you will be able to watch the Dartmouth contest online. (LINK)

From what I can tell you'll need to sign up for a month subscription ($12.50 if what I found by Googling is correct) and will be able to cancel at any time. Expect more details as the game nears.

By way of contrast to where Dartmouth will open the season at Valparaiso (LINK), here's where the Big Green will play its cross-state rival:

Should have linked to a story from the Valley News yesterday with this headline: Hanover to ‘pause’ mask ordinance after Dartmouth commencement. From the story (LINK):

Town officials have decided to suspend Hanover’s mask ordinance effective early next week after thousands of expected visitors depart following Dartmouth College’s graduation on Sunday.

Hanover Town Manager Julia Griffin said the mask ordinance will be “paused” but not rescinded “in case we need to re-implement it in the event we see another large outbreak. Fingers crossed we are beyond that.”

And one more from our local daily . . .

There were headlines in the New York Times when the news broke about a cheating scandal at Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine. The headline in today's Valley News:

Dartmouth apologizes, drops cheating charges against medical students (LINK)
