While I was asleep at the switch a loyal friend of BGA was hopping off a plane, digging right into the internet and sending along news that Dartmouth has a new recruit. Huge thanks for waking me up!
Joining the Big Green program next fall will be Will Prince, a 6-foot-5, 260-pound offensive lineman from Avon Old Farms and West Hartford, Conn. His Tweet:
After discussing with my parents and coaches, I have decided to commit to Dartmouth College to further my academic and athletic career!! #TheWoods @JonathanWholley @Coach__Bomely @MattProffittAOF @BTeevens @coachkeithclark @DartmouthFTBL @AOF_Football pic.twitter.com/a87DUTPbmH

Per a story in his school newspaper, he chose Dartmouth over offers from Air Force, Army, Navy, Fordham, Georgetown, Cornell, and Columbia. (LINK)
Find his five-game highlights video HERE.
By the way, if what I've dug up on Will is correct, he's also about the biggest ice hockey goalie this side of legendary Ken Dryden. ;-)

The wise guys at 5Dimes have issued this week's odds and they have Dartmouth-Harvard as a pick ‘em. Elsewhere around the Ancient Eight:
Penn is an 11½-point favorite at Brown
Princeton is a 21½-point favorite at home against Cornell
Yale is a 3-point favorite at Columbia
Sagarin, by the way, agrees with 5Dimes and has Dartmouth-Harvard even.

Speaking of Sagarin, here are this week's ratings along with movement from a week ago:
135 - Princeton - up 17
161 - Penn - up 1
172 - Harvard - down 10
175 - Yale - down 1
185 - Dartmouth - up 3
198 - Columbia - down 1
209 - Cornell - up 1
216 - Brown - down 6

EXTRA POINT
I use a MacBook Air laptop to do BGA Daily, BGA Premium, freelance writing, a little video and sound editing and everything else that requires a computer. Although underpowered it has been a great machine. Unfortunately, it's almost eight years old, can't be updated anymore and is starting to show its age. This morning, and not for the first time, I had to shut it down twice because there was an aggravating delay between typing and letters showing up on the screen. Sometimes what I typed simply didn't make it to the screen at all, and I had to start over. Other times I'd be typing, nothing would be appearing, and then a sudden tidal wave of letters would come flooding onto the screen. It's working fine right now. Fingers crossed that Good Ol' MacBook Air and I make it through four more games together ;-)
