With the addition of California linebacker Abayomi "Yomi" Babalola it would seem the Dartmouth recruiting class is complete, with 23 players headed this way. Here's the latest listing, both alphabetically and by position, this time including hometowns rather than the location of their high school. Positions, again, are best guess with height weights largely self-reported.*

Cornell was playing 8-0 Dartmouth. The Big Red were 2-6 but pulled off what Archer said has been talked about as the greatest upset in the history of the Ivy League. Cornell won 20-17. It was their first win over a ranked Ivy League team on the road since 1939.
What say you? Was that really one of the greatest upsets in the history of the Ivy League?

EXTRA POINT
Got an email from Electrify America that it is going to be offering free EV charging on Friday in honor of Earth Day.
I almost feel like driving around all day to deplete the battery in my car just to charge it up for free, but that would kind of defeat the purpose, huh?
As an aside, because it doesn't use gas, I call the accelerator on my car the "juice pedal."
