Dartmouth kicks off its first "Game Week" preparation of the season this afternoon at 4 and as always, BGA Premium will be there and have a story on the site tonight. The goal each day is for the story to be posted by 11 p.m. Eastern.
By the way, if you are signed up for BGA Premium and can't access the site, there's a "Forgot" functionality on the sign-in page that will allow you to re-set your password. (As a protection for those of you who re-use passwords, I don't have access to your password.)
A reminder that your BGA Premium subscription also helps keep BGA Daily going. ;-)
