While you may not have been looking, Dartmouth added Luke Dehmel, a 6-foot-2, 220-pound sophomore linebacker to the roster. The product of Connecticut powerhouse Darien did not participate last fall as a freshman but too part in spring practice. Find his bio HERE.

FanNation offers a look at the Syracuse cornerback room that includes this (LINK):
Isaiah Johnson transferred in from Dartmouth the previous offseason and played quite a bit last year, while also starting multiple games. (Sophomore Jeremiah) Wilson and Johnson will be the favorites to start given that they have been in the program and have experience with the defensive scheme. There will be challengers, however.

Dartmouth expected to open the 2023 season against a team from the Colonial Athletic Conference, but it won't. Instead it will kick off the season against a team from the Coastal Athletic Conference.
No change in the schedule, just the nomenclature as New Hampshire's expanded conference is changing its name to better represent with its footprint on the east coast. Find a story for what will still be referred to in the main as the CAA HERE.

A story in The Dartmouth headlined Welcome to the Woods: Strangers’ Takes on the 'Dartmouth Difference' includes thoughts from visiting students and teases you in this way (LINK):
According to a 1947 article in the Harvard Crimson, “Dartmouth men take their college seriously from the time they don their green beanies as freshmen to the sad day of their last promenade about the campus in green senior jackets and canes. They all learn how to ski, how to drink, how to get along with people and how to cheer at football games … Pride in the college and a tremendous feeling of ‘belonging’ pervade the green Hanover mists.”Almost a century after that article’s publication, Dartmouth has transformed from a boys-only club to a coeducational institution with a female president. Old traditions have died and new ones have risen to take their place. And yet, I don’t think I’m the only one who still wonders whether there is a new archetypal Dartmouth student, and whether the so-called “Dartmouth difference” is real, or just a pithy caption for Instagram photo dumps.

EXTRA POINT
Mrs. BGA and I are going to see Back to the Future tonight at Dartmouth. We've seen the flick many times but it holds a special place in our lives.
It was on a visit down from Hanover that I brought my mother to a showing of the new Michael J. Fox movie in a central New Jersey theater. Elsewhere in the theater – some 300 miles from the Upper Valley – was a nurse from Massachusetts visiting her sister who lived outside of Princeton.
We wouldn't meet for the first time until about six months later.)
Talk about Back to the Future!
