Worth A Watch

Sacred Heart football coach Mark Nofri used the word "manhandled" to describe what Dartmouth did to his team. Watch the highlights and you can see he was right:

 

The Dartmouth has a story about the solid win over Sacred Heart that includes a quote from linebacker Tanner Cross that speaks to what the Sacred Heart coach said (LINK):

“A lot of it was just coming out, being ready to play and to be more physical than Sacred Heart, because we had seen on film that they were a very physical and aggressive team.”

A few more highlights from the Dartmouth football office:

Princeton, Dartmouth and Harvard get a mention for stingy defense in an FCS weekend wrapup on The Analyst site HERE.

The Valparaiso school newspaper finally hit the web with a story about last week's game under the headline, Opportunities slipped away for Beacons against Dartmouth. (LINK)

BGA Premium will be back at it tonight with the latest from The Optimist and The Pessimist (if the second guy shows up) as well as coverage of the Monday practice, something that usually only occurs in a week with a Friday game.

I had hoped there would be a rush to subscribe in the week prior to the opener, but that didn't come about. If you are reading this and getting the sense that something exciting is brewing in Hanover  there's still time to sign up before the Big Green's Ivy League conference season kicks off Friday night.

EXTRA POINT
On my old MacBook laptop I had to replace a couple of keys after I actually wore serious holes through them. These days I use a bluetooth keyboard with my MacBook Air and don't have holes in any of the keys. Yet.

What I do have is letters being worn off. In case you are wondering (You are, aren't you?) here are the letters that have been worn off entirely, or can no longer be read, with the "A" and the "L" completely gone and the "E" just a dot. In order of disappearance: A,  L,  E,  S,  C,  N,  M. 

Out of curiosity, I Googled most frequently used letters in the English language and came up with these: E,  T,  A,  I,  O,  N,  S,  H,  R.

Given what a Venn diagram would say about those two sets of letters, I'm going to guess the issue isn't what I am typing, but rather where the letters are on the keyboard, and how my fingers strike them.

Here's something else I find interesting. Looking at the letters on the keyboard that are unreadable, I was unsure about half of them until I pressed down and saw what showed up on the screen. That's muscle memory . . . in my fingers ;-)
