Why did so many Ivy League football players opt to graduate and play their COVID bonus season elsewhere? As this space noted yesterday, forcing a fumbe in front of more than 100,000 fans or lining up in the FCS playoffs are opportunities Ancient Eight athletes cannot enjoy.
Former Big Green lineman Shane Cokes '23 probably could have posted a Xweet like this before graduating from Dartmouth, but you decide if it would bear the kind of fruit it will in his second year playing for Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes:

EXTRA POINT
If you've been following along, you are probably as tired of reading about our issues getting the electric lawn tractor back from the shop as I have gotten writing about it. Barring something untoward, that chapter is over.

The tractor was returned to us yesterday and I've already cut down about half of our field with the deck raised as high as possible. I hope to finish the second half today. In another couple of days I'll lower the deck and cut the entire field down to lawn length. Given how deep the stuff has gotten, there's no way to clean it up in just one pass.
Between the two sessions on the field, I'll have attack the actual lawn. If I'm going to be honest, it's looking a little, uh, shaggy.
To give you an idea about how the field grew up in the 37 days the little tractor was on the disabled list, here it is in part of the field I haven't gotten to yet. Within a few days that will look a lot more like a lawn.
