You Know This Guy

Shane Cokes has made a lot of believers out in Boulder as this video reminds us: 


Read the comments and he even gets a nod for showing good hygiene for using a napkin to hand a teammate a straw. ;-)

From a Denver Gazette story headlined CU Buffs position preview: Defensive line counting on experienced transfers for production (LINK):

Dartmouth transfer Shane Cokes, who was one of the breakout stars in the spring, heads into fall camp as the leader of the defense and could be in for a big season as he hopes to boost his draft stock in his final year of eligibility.

Dartmouth alum John Paul Flores gets a brief mention in a Cardinal Sports Zone story about the Louisville offensive line HERE.

Flo Football, which broadcasts UNH,  has a blurb about the Top 5 Rivalry Games (& Trophies) in CAA Football and includes the Granite Bowl. From the story (LINK):

As the only Div. I programs in the Granite State, it's fitting UNH and Dartmouth play for a trophy shaped like New Hampshire and made of granite. 

Green Alert Take: Yeah, so how come this "rivalry" isn't played every year? It should be.

Speaking of New Hampshire, the Wildcats have their third player recognized as the best in the nation wearing a particular number. (LINK) This time it's linebacker Ryan Toscano, who wears 39. He posted 72 tackles last fall and has had 139 over the past two seasons.

EXTRA POINT
Well, the great computer transition of 2023 is winding down. A good part of yesterday was spent moving apps to this machine as well as digging up usernames and licenses for software necessary to do BGA Premium and the rest. (And hoping they worked.)

After downloading one app that required jumping through some incredibly tricky hoops to be able to work on this machine I sent an email to their "support" thanking them for the very easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions that worked perfectly. I was at first hesitant to dump something into the inbox of someone who is probably overwhelmed all day answering emails from those of us who make up the clueless masses. But I decided that person could use a pat on the back. For the record, I got a very nice email back saying I had made the person's day. It felt good!
