Following up on yesterday's photos of Ivy League football stadiums (stadia ;-), today we turn your attention to The Wide World of Stadiums tour of Ivy League facilities. For the most part it is well done, although it does include a few loopy comments and outdated slides:
Having a dog (or a Nittany Lion) in the fight, I also checked out the site's look at Big Ten stadiums HERE.
For the whole catalogue of stadium tours, from Mountain West college football stadiums to Low-A baseball stadiums to Bundesliga stadiums to you name it, CLICK HERE. (Caution: This will eat up a lot of your day ;-)

Not much (or anything) particularly new, but the Valparaiso school newspaper kicks into gear with a story about Dartmouth's Week One opponent HERE.

You've got a computer, you've got an Internet connection, you've got a last name that works nicely with your blog title and you, too, can name an All-New England DI preseason football team.
And a dolt like me can link to it ;-)
Noontime sports has named just such a team and strangely Sacred Heart ties Boston College for the most players selected for the first team. Dartmouth's lone member of the squad is defensive back Niko Mermigas.
Here's how many selections each of the Big Green's opponents had on the 15-player offense, 15-player defense and three-playe special teams (LINK):
5 Sacred Heart
3 Harvard
1 New Hampshire
1 Brown
Honorable mention picks:
Yale 4
Brown 1
Harvard 1
Sacred Heart 1

BGA Premium took at look at Cornell last night and will continue the preview series with Harvard tonight. A lot of works goes into researching and writing these things up, and I hope you are checking them out ;-)

EXTRA POINT
Jeopardy is in reruns while filming for the new season takes place. You'll have to wait until Sept. 13 to see if Yale PhD student Matt Amodio can continue his Holzhauerian run.
In the interim, Jeopardy reruns are airing – but I'm not watching them. I mean, getting Final Jeopardy wrong is acceptable if it deals with something you've never seen or heard or read before. But when you recognize this or that annoying contestant and realize you've seen the episode before and still get Final Jeopardy wrong? That's pretty defeating.
