Saw a list of FCS teams with the longest winning streaks in the nation on Craig Haley's blog:
16 – Sam Houston
6 – Eastern Washington
6 – East Tennessee
5 – DARTMOUTH
5 – PRINCETON
5 – Montana State
5 – North Dakota State
5 – Rhode Island
Green Alert Take: The list is a little misleading because every team that went to the FCS playoffs except reigning national champion Sam Houston finished last year with a loss. Ivy League teams will always have an advantage in streaks that carry over season-to-season because they don't participate in the playoffs.

Today is the Boston Marathon. The Chicago Marathon was yesterday and finishing in 4 hours, 15 minutes and 54 seconds was none other than 2015 Dartmouth football co-captain Will McNamara '16. When he's not running marathons Will is the director of philanthropy for The Chicago Autism Project. To hear Will talk about the important work he is doing now, check out a YouTube video HERE.

EXTRA POINT
Looking for something on a bookshelf here in the BGA world headquarters this morning I stumbled across a thin paperback with yellowing pages. A Signet book that originally sold for 50 cents, it has this blurb on the cover:
This unusual book may shock you, will make you laugh, and may break your heart – but you will never forget it.
We once went into the local nursery to buy something for our garden and I can't say for sure if I noticed a man coming out as we were going in. The clerk at the register whispered to us that the customer who had just checked out was the reclusive author of the "unusual" paperback I just pulled off the shelf.
Any guesses?
It was J.D. Salinger, best known as the author of the little paperback I just found, The Catcher in the Rye. He lived in a town about 20 miles south of Hanover where his neighbors were very protective of his privacy, although he was known to quietly take in more than the occasional Dartmouth women's basketball game.
