Dartmouth (38-21 win at then-No. 23 New Hampshire)The Big Green (5-0) beat a nationally ranked opponent for the fourth time since 2016 and posted their first win at UNH since 1969. Derek Kyler completed 18 of 23 passes for a career-high 325 yards as well as two touchdowns, and fellow quarterback Nick Howard rushed for three scores as the offense possessed the ball for nearly 39 minutes and totaled 604 yards.

Something called SportsLogos.net has a lengthy piece on the “Lone Pine” helmet design Dartmouth helmets will be adorned with Friday night. So you know, the design is simply applied to the current helmets, which will then be returned to the Blackman stripe design.(LINK)

In advance of Friday night's game against Columbia here's a look at highlights from the Lions' win over Penn:
#
Sagarin has Dartmouth as an 18.5-point favorite over Columbia. In other Ivy League matchups the computer guru's algorithm has Princeton as a 2-point favorite at home over Harvard, Yale as a 10.5-point favorite over Penn in New Haven, and Brown at Cornell a pick 'em.
Outside of the Ivy League, New Hampshire is a 2-point pick at Elon, Duquesne is favored by 8 at Sacred Heart and Dayton is a 3-point favorite at Valparaiso.
For perspective, Dartmouth was a 2-point favorite at New Hampshire last week and won by 17.

AP columnist Jim Litke has a story with the headline No jab, no job: Ex-coach Rolovich gets pink-slipped at WSU about the Washington State head football coach (and several assistants) being let go for not getting vaccinated. (LINK) Discuss among yourselves.

EXTRA POINT
I was rooting around for something here in the BGA World Headquarters this morning and came across a strip of Velcro I bought for some forgotten reason and never used. That got me thinking about the first time I remember seeing the stuff.
It was playing flag football in junior high school gym class. It was a long time ago but I remember the first flags we used had big plastic snaps and they didn't work well when they stretched or broke. Then one day Mr. Rikstad or whoever the gym teacher was brought out these cool red and yellow flags that just stuck to new belts automatically and came off with a satisfying rrrip if you were playing defense or just liked making the sound in the huddle.
Two things. First, don't tell anyone but if you wrapped the flags once around the belt after attaching them it made them shorter and really hard to pull off.
And second, did you know where the word Velcro comes from? Wikipedia explains that it is a portmanteau from the French words velours (velvet) and croché (hook). Don't say you never learned anything reading BGA Daily ;-)
