Big Dreams

Should Dartmouth's Sammy McCorkle win his third title in as many tries in 2025 he'll move to the top of the chart. ;-)

Another loyal reader shared a link to this jacket, which is available HERE


Green Alert Take: I have a hard time believe this was officially licensed by Dartmouth.

Green Alert Take II: If it was licensed . . .  it shouldn't have been.

Green Alert Take III: And oh by the way, the website refers to it as a baseball jacket, which ought to tell you something right there.

EXTRA POINT
Our nephew is part of a musical trio that came up from southern New England to play a gig at the new casino in Lebanon last night. It was great seeing them perform . . . but don't expect to see us walking through those doors again anytime soon. ;-)
