Well, Look At That!

Here's a closer look:

A FloFootball preview of the game includes this from longtime New Hampshire coach Sean McDonnell, who remembers losing at Dartmouth as a player (LINK):

“It doesn’t seem like it’s been this rivalry like a Maine or a UMass, but it’s there. Our kids are engaged in what we talked to them about it. I know a lot of our alumni and former players, the old-school guys from around here, want a piece of Dartmouth."

From Foster's Daily Democrat, the seacoast newspaper that covers UNH (LINK):

“If we want to get to where we want to go – and that’s have an opportunity to go to the dance at the end of the year, we’ve got to win these FCS games,” said UNH head coach Sean McDonnell. “Beating a team that’s 30-4 (since the start of the 2017 season) and 4-0 right now would put a lot of credibility in what we’re doing.”

If you are headed to the game, here's a note from the University of New Hampshire:

Parking in Boulder Field and A Lot across from the UNH Field House is sold out. No parking passes will be sold on gameday. There is free parking available in faculty/staff lots and various other lots within walking distance of the stadium.

EXTRA POINT
I picked up my Kindle this morning and all the screen showed was the outline of a drawing of a battery with a large exclamation point inside. I know that's not good for the overall life of the battery and found myself wondering when the charge might have run out.

Google tells me a Kindle battery should hold some kind of charge for about eight weeks on standby. I had to smile looking at the calendar. It's been right about eight weeks since BGA Premium kicked into high gear. I love to read but this time of year, well, I just don't have the time.

The Kindle is back on the charger now and I'll pull it off when it reaches 100 percent. With a little more than five weeks until the season wraps up in Providence it should be fine when I finally have time to pick it up again.
