On The Line


Making the cut in the HERO Sports story: Delby Lemieux, Dartmouth's 6-foot-4, 280-pound left tackle, the rare offensive lineman to see significant time as a freshman and an honorable-mention All-Ivy League selection last fall as a sophomore.

Speaking of offensive linemen, Matt Kaskey '19 and the UFL's Birmingham Stallions (9-1) held off the Michigan Panthers last week, 20-19, and will face off with the same opponent this week in the conference championship game Saturday at 3 p.m. (on ABC). The winner will advance to face the winner of the other conference championship pitting the San Antonio Brahmas at the St. Louis Battlehawks. Kaskey is bidding to win his second championship with the Stallions.

And speaking of pros, how about this?

JJ Jones '22, was an All-Ivy League tight end at Dartmouth before finishing his collegiate career as a grad transfer at New Mexico State.

EXTRA POINT
As you probably realized by now, Mrs. BGA, Griff the Wonder Dog and I are back from our camping trip in Vermont's beautiful Northeast Kingdom. As we were packing up our tent Mrs. BGA pointed out the dramatic reflection of the clouds from our campsite. The reflection doesn't look real – but I'm here to tell you it is, and it really did look like that.
