Here And There

Flo Football has a story headlined 4 Things To Know About Week 11 Of The 2024 FCS Football Season that concludes this way:

Harvard has another huge matchup this week as they host Columbia. One of those teams will drop to two losses and on paper make it clearer who will be the winner of the Ivy League. But with week after week of close games, it's hard to truly count anyone out. Dartmouth has a tough game on the road at Cornell and hosts Brown at home the week after. Columbia similarly has to play the two teams sitting in second place at the moment. So while this weekend may provide some clarity, no one can truly be counted out. The winner of the Ivy League will be whichever team is able to consistently perform and make big plays when it comes down to it.

Green Alert Take: Points taken but Columbia does not have to play "the two teams sitting in second place at the moment." With Dartmouth, Harvard and Columbia tied for first, the next two teams would be tied for fourth place.

Short-staffed, the local Valley News is doing a weekly roundup of Dartmouth sports and this week the column leads off with a look at the Harvard game HERE. (Again, it's behind a paywall but if you visit only occasionally it will let you read the story.)

If you don't have ESPN+ and want to watch the entire Dartmouth-Harvard game – or just until the final minute or so ;-) – the Ivy League has made the game available here:

No game notes posted yet for Friday's nationally televised game but if you want to check out the Princeton football yearbook, you can find it HERE. There's not much to it but there you go.

On the subject of Dartmouth-Princeton, the 2018 game between nationally ranked teams down in New Jersey didn't end the way the Big Green wanted but the battle of unbeaten teams was a classic, absolutely one of the best football games I've ever attended. A Princeton team that would finish the year scoring 66, 66, 59, 51, 50, 48, 45, 42 and 29 points on the way to going undefeated managed just two touchdowns against Dartmouth but came out on top in a 14-9 thriller. Here are the highlights:

Green Alert Take: Princeton may be having a difficult season but I still miss the year ending with the Tigers and Big Green squaring off.

A release out of Fordham offers the Rams' football schedule for the next several years, including a visit from Dartmouth. That sent me scurrying to see what I could find about the Big Green's future schedules. The bottom line? Not much.

It used to be Dartmouth would include the next few schedules in its press guide but, alas, no more press guides. The schedules also used to appear on the website, but that's no longer the case. All that being the case, here's what I was able to find about Dartmouth's future non-conference opponents on the FBSchedules website (LINK):

Screenshot from 1983 Dartmouth media guide

Joe Moglia put football on the back-burner after his final season as linebacker coach at Dartmouth under Joe Yukica in 1983. A site called The Bulletin Time catches us up on what came next for Moglia in a piece headlined, Joe Moglia – Net Worth 2024, Biography, Personal Life, Professional Life and Everything. (LINK)

Green Alert Take: And because I'm sure the "net worth" part caught your eye, I'll save you clicking through. Take it with a grain of salt but the piece says he was earning $20 million annually as CEO of TD Ameritrade and his "estimated net worth is $75 million."
