Armistead chose Dartmouth over Columbia, Bucknell, Furman, Chattanooga and Hendrix per his Xwitter. His interesting talent? He can punt with either leg. He reports a 46.0 average with his right foot and 41.1 overall with a long of 57 and 17 of his 42 punts inside the 20. Find his highlights HERE.

EXTRA POINT
Not sure this is a thing where you live but on cold days like yesterday it's not at all unusual for someone to leave their car or truck running – with the keys in it – while popping into our little one-room post office. I get that it's nice to get back into a nice warm car but seriously? A little Googling found this: "Studies have shown that idling for more than 10 seconds uses more fuel than restarting the engine." And this: "Idling generates harmful emissions like carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides." And this: "The increased fuel savings far outweigh any potential starter wear concerns." Not to mention there's always a chance someone will hop into the car and drive off with it, right?
