Find Dartmouth's notes for the Sacred Heart game HERE. (As of this posting the Sacred Heart notes have not been posted.)

In addition to watching the game on NEC Front Row HERE, you can listen to the Dartmouth audio HERE. (And if you open two browser windows and pause one or the other you can sync the two - sorta ;-)

The Massey Ratings site has Dartmouth winning, 21-7, with 93 percent confidence. That’s the most confidence Massey has in Dartmouth for the rest of the season. The next two games in terms of most confidence Massey has in the Big Green winning:

• Penn with 84 percent
• New Hampshire with 80 percent.

Green Alert Take: Might want to double-check that algorithm. Just not buying that the chance of beating New Hampshire is better than beating, say, Brown (75 percent) or Cornell (70 percent).

Massey’s current Ivy League ratings (of 130 FCS schools rated)

32 - Dartmouth
37 - Harvard
42 - Princeton
44 - Cornell
52 - Penn
59 - Columbia
62 - Yale
72 - Brown

CT Insider has a story headlined Yale, Sacred Heart, New Haven and other matchups this weekend that includes this (LINK):

What you need to know: Unlike last weekend's 24-9 loss to Morgan State, two of Sacred Heart's games have been decided by six points or less. Dartmouth, one of the preseason favorites in the Ivy League, won their 11th straight season opener and have won 19 consecutive non-conference contests. This is SHU's home opener and Homecoming Weekend.

As is the case with a lot of these "wired up" segments on TV, they frequently don't work. This one absolutely does work:

#

At 7 tonight on ESPN: From the Carrier JMA Wireless Dome it's Virginia at Syracuse featuring Dartmouth grad transfers on both teams. John Paul Flores will start on the offensive line for UVa and Isaiah Johnson will filter in at corner for 'Cuse.

EXTRA POINT
While many of you are heading to Connecticut today I'll be in Quechee, Vt., helping publicize the annual Tommy Keane Invitational golf tournament for the 18th consecutive year. Then it's down to Sacred Heart early tomorrow morning and back to Quechee for Sunday's championship match in the four-ball event.
