Wonder who Ivy League teams are playing out-of-conference this fall and how they fared in non-league action last year? Wonder no more. ;-)

Another Ivy Leaguer makes the cut in the HERO Sports countdown to the first FCS game:
Jersey Countdown: 51 — The Best Player Who Wears No. 51 Is @HarvardFootball's Nate Leskovec, a three-star high school recruit and was the No. 3 signee in HERO Sports’ 2019 FCS recruiting rankings.
Green Alert Take: A suggestion in another week when the count is at 44 would be Dartmouth's All-Ivy linebacker Marques White. He had 9.5 tackles for loss, five sacks and 40 total tackles a year ago.

EXTRA POINT
Lucky us. We're having a new roof put on our house this summer. It's not a surprise. When we bought this place the inspector warned us the shingles were failing. If I am remembering right, there was some kind of settlement regarding the old shingles that the previous owner collected without replacing the roof. Disappointing, but as I said, we knew the deal.
Anyway, in anticipation of starting work, the roofing company we hired dropped off a big and ugly black dumpster several weeks ago. It is filled with the new shingles, and will be used to haul away the detritus once the work begins. Unfortunately, the box is sitting on one of the few areas around our house that actually has nice lawn. Make that, had a nice lawn. I fully anticipate a large, brown rectangle where the box sits once it is finally moved, which it should have been within days of being dropped here.
I really can't blame the roofing company. The real blame is on Mother Nature.
I simply cannot imagine what the day-after-day of rain in the late spring and the downpours of the summer have done to the roofer's schedule. I'm not particularly happy about the black eyesore sitting alongside our house and what it's doing to our lawn, but I'm not going to complain. The roofers have problems enough this summer.
