AccuWeather is calling for partly sunny skies, 39 degrees and 0 percent chance (don't get me started) of rain at the 1:30 kickoff for today's finale against Brown in The Tussle on Memorial Field.
Listen to the Dartmouth-Brown game with Brett Franklin on play-by-play and Wayne Young '72 doing color HERE. (If you tune in early, I'm scheduled to be on the pregame show ;-)
The rest of the Ivy League schedule features Yale at Harvard at noon, and Penn at Princeton and Cornell at Columbia both at 1 p.m. A reminder that if Harvard and Penn both pull upsets there will be a four-way tie for the title with those schools joining Princeton and Yale at the top of the heap.

In a story on Saints Wire headlined, Here are the 13 former Saints players who were selected in the 2023 XFL draft (LINK):
Lalos, 25, played college football at Dartmouth and was signed by the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent in 2020. He tried out for the Saints in training camp this summer and had some nice moments, but the depth chart was set by the time he arrived so there wasn’t room for him. He signed with New Orleans’ practice squad on Nov. 16, but the XFL offers him more options.
Also chosen was Seth Walter '21:
Former Columbia punter Cameron Nizialek and former Penn defensive tackle Prince Emili were also taken in the draft.

EXTRA POINT
Our driveway alarm just went off just now and I thought it was Mrs. BGA returning from the library. When I peeked out the window it was a "rafter" of very large and healthy looking turkeys crossing the driveway on their way to the ornamental trees whose berries they have discovered and seem to enjoy. I was tempted to open the window and shout, "Run for your lives" with Thanksgiving just days away.
