Ten months since Dartmouth last played, it's finally game day. The Big Green visits New Hampshire tonight at 6. Because the Ivy League starts so late and Dartmouth later than anyone in the Ivies, the Big Green will be the last DI team in the nation to kick off this fall.

We are honoring our teammate, Josh Balara ’24, who passed away in March, by wearing a decal with his initials on our helmets this season. He was the consummate teammate: unselfish, dedicated and committed to improving the team in every way. His spirit lives on through all of us.… pic.twitter.com/43JY9imzAD

And finally, details are sparse but a story in the local Valley News reports that Ahmir Braxton, who played defensive back on the Dartmouth football team before being arrested in connection with an armored car robbery in Colorado, has had the charges dismissed and is once again enrolled at Dartmouth. He has not rejoined the football program, which is already at its 110-player limit. Find the story HERE.

EXTRA POINT
It was too good to be true.
Yes, for those of you following along, Mrs. BGA had the camera on her car replaced at no charge as noted in yesterday's PAT. But you had to know the dealer wasn't going to come away empty-handed.
Somehow while working at the windshield they also happened to notice wheels were out of alignment. To save the wear and tear on the tires (and rperhaps ecoup some of the time spent on the covered camera replacement?) Mrs. BGA had to fork over $140.
I don't doubt their was an alignment issue of some sort. But the cynic in me things they got their pound of flesh and wonders just how pressing the issue was.
