Dartmouth has a release up about the Big Green selections to the Phil Steele preseason All-Ivy team HERE.
And thank to a second set of eyes, the arbitrary point totals associated with the selections that was posted Sunday (LINK) now have been corrected and look like this:
Yale: 73
Penn: 40
Penn: 40
Dartmouth: 37

Cornell: 19
Green Alert Take: One of the things I like about publishing on the Internet as opposed to newspapers is the ability to go back in and fix things when I make dumb mistakes. Trust me, someone somewhere has a copy of the newspaper I put to bed one day with a headline about Fernando Venezuela. That one still stings. ;-)

Whether my team of Internet sleuths and I are behind or names are coming out slowly, I don't have much on Dartmouth commits at this point. Unless I'm missing someone I already reported, this is all I have:
• DE Jackson Ashford, 6-2, 250, IMG Academy/Bradenton, Fla.
• WR/DB James Elliott, 6-2, 195, Willison Northampton/Leeds, Mass.
• WR Luke Rives, 6-0, 170, Stratford HS/Houston
• OL Ryan Turk, 6-4, 280, Loyola HS/Los Angeles

Back to preseason honors, the 2023 Stats Perform FCS Preseason All-America Team is out and three Ivy Leaguers, two other players Dartmouth will face and a whopping five players from old friend Holy Cross have been recognized HERE.
The Ivy Leaguers on the second team:
• OL – Kiran Amegadjie, 6-5, 321, senior, Yale
• DL – Thor Griffith, 6-2, 305, senior, Harvard
Ivy Leaguer on the third team:
• LB – Liam Johnson, 6-0, 220, senior, Princeton
Other Dartmouth opponents honored:
First team:
• DL – Josiah Silver, 6-2, 243, junior, New Hampshire
• AP – Dylan Laube, 5-10, 204, senior, New Hampshire
Green Alert Take: Also honored from Holy Cross were QB Matthew Sluka, OL Luke Newman and LB Jacob Dobbs on the first team, receiver Jalen Coker along with DB Devin Haskins on the second team. Wouldn't you love to see Dartmouth renew the rivalry and measure itself against its most-played non-conference opponent?

EXTRA POINT
Do you have one of those step counters? Try this on for size: That Certain Dartmouth '14 registered 91,000 steps Saturday in a race in the high-altitude Utah mountains covering almost 46 miles and including a 4,000-foot climb and over 12,000 feet of altitude gain. And she's pretty sure the counter severely undercounted her steps. Here she is at the finish, somehow smiling 14 hours, 15 minutes and 2 seconds after she set out:
