With the big boys in the transfer portal the action seems to have slowed for Dartmouth players with one exception.
Senior tight end Zion Carter, now packing 265 pounds onto his 6-foot-7 frame, tweets new offers from Tulane, Buffalo and Marshall after an initial offer from Alabama State.

Elsewhere, former Big Green offensive lineman John Paul Flores '22, who started five games at Virginia last fall, has added South Florida, Temple, UMass, Marshall and Troy to a list that already included Eastern Michigan, Bowling Green and Rice.

A YEAR TO REMEMBER.
— The Ivy League (@IvyLeague) December 13, 2022
The Ivy League football season came to a conclusion yesterday with the Bushnell Cup presentation in New York City. Look back on a year loaded with non-conference success and a league title that came down to the final weekend. 🌿🏈 pic.twitter.com/FzeyMZ3rLD
Green Alert Take: It was indeed "a year loaded with non-conference success," but that deserves a Shaq-sized asterisk. While you can only play the teams on your schedule, the Ivy League hasn't exactly made a habit of challenging itself and that was the case again this year. The Ancient Eight's 19-5 non-conference record came against teams with a combined 62-135 record. The Ivy League played just four teams with winning records and of the 19 victories out-of-conference only one came against a team with a winning record. That would be Harvard's overtime victory against Merrimack. The only other games against teams with winning records were played by Dartmouth (New Hampshire), Brown (Rhode Island) and Yale (Holy Cross). Columbia, Cornell, Penn and Princeton did not play a single non-conference team with a winning record.

Pete Lembo, an assistant on the 1996 Dartmouth team that finished 10-0, has become something of a special teams guru and that has paid off handsomely this year with South Carolina rewarding him with a $260,000 raise that boosts his annual salary to $725K. Lembo was one of just two special teams coordinators in the country nominated for the Frank Broyles Award given to the nation's top assistant coach. (LINK)
