UNH is a blueblood FCS program that has fallen off of the national radar in the last few years. The Wildcats made 14 straight playoff appearances from 2004-2017. They reached the quarterfinals six times from 2004-2010 and again in 2017 along with semifinal appearances in 2013 and 2014.The history and fairly recent success show UNH can get right back to national success in the 2020s. It has the seventh-highest athletic budget in the FCS at around $30 million. And the opportunity is open to be the top team in the CAA after JMU’s departure. If you’re a top team in the CAA, you should be one of the top teams in the FCS.
Green Alert Take: Yet another reason why New Hampshire should be a regular fixture on the Dartmouth football schedule. In a perfect world, the Big Green would face UNH, Holy Cross, another Patriot League school and an intersectional opponent in an 11-game schedule each year as it builds up its bonafides for a run in the FCS playoffs.
Green Alert Take II: Keep dreaming.

It is hardly an exaggeration to say that while Dartmouth football continues to be the gold standard of the Ivy League it has been a disappointing year for most of the rest of the Big Green athletic program.
While cycling is not a varsity sport, kudos should go out to Wells Willett '24, who claimed the omnium title as the top overall finisher at the USA Cycling Collegiate Road National Championships in Augusta, Ga. From a Dartmouth release (LINK):
Willett finished seventh in the 30-minute time trial event on the first day of competition. The next day, Willett won the 70-mile road race, earning him his first national championship jersey of the weekend.
On the third and final day of competition, Willett finished second in the 80-minute criterium race in the center of Augusta's historic Broad Street District.

EXTRA POINT
Hiking early this morning I crossed paths with a ridiculously healthy looking fellow who regularly runs the trail I hike (and sometimes run). He warned me, "There's a dead porcupine on Appreciation (trail). I'm thinking about putting up a sign for dog owners."
Yikes. It hadn't occurred to me that dogs, often unleashed while accompanying hikers, might be at risk. But it should have.
Griff the Wonder Dog certainly would have been a candidate for trouble. When we lived on the shoulder of Hanover's Moose Mountain we came around a bend on the Harris Trail one time and were face-to-face with a bear. Griff and I froze, after a few seconds of a staring contest the bear ran off, and trouble was averted. Trouble, it turned out, came in the form of a porcupine on another day. Intrigued, Griff chased the poor thing and ended up with a mouthful of quills. He calmly let me pull several of them out, including one all the way through his tongue. (Sorry for being so graphic.)
Unfortunately, he had other quills in the sides of his mouth where I couldn't get at them. That required an expensive trip to the vet, who told me after I asked if Griff would now know better: "No, they never learn."
I'll bring a sign to the trailhead tomorrow but hope one of the trail crew will have already disposed of the porky.
