Week 10: Dartmouth at Harvard (Nov. 1)Nine of the last 11 games between these rivals have been decided by seven or fewer points. They’ve been a part of three-team shares of the Ivy League title in each of the last two seasons, and this year’s champion will receive the first playoff bid in league history. Three More Games (Yeah, a Huge Week): Norfolk State vs. Delaware State in Philadelphia (Oct. 30); Jackson State at Florida A&M; and Tarleton State at Abilene Christian.
The only other Ivy League game that gets a mention (in the Three More Games category) is hardly a surprise: Harvard at Yale in Week 13.

Jonathan DiBiaso, whose career as a Dartmouth quarterback was sidetracked by injury and who ended up graduating from Tufts, get a nice mention from national recruiting guru Mike Farrell:

Former Dartmouth corner Jordan Washington won't be the only former Ivy Leaguer on the Stanford roster this fall. Standout Yale receiver David Pantellis and former Bulldogs defensive back Breylan Thompson will also be with the Cardinal this fall. Still another Ivy product playing at The Farm is former Yale defensive lineman Clay Patterson, who had two tackles in four games at Stanford last fall. (LINK)
Moving on from Stanford is tailback Ryan Butler, who transferred to Palo Alto after running for 501 yards and 11 touchdowns as a Princeton freshman in 2022. He entered the portal this winter after running for 104 yards in two seasons with the Cardinal.

From the NCAA (LINK):
The Division I Council introduced a proposal that, if adopted in October, would change sports betting rules to permit student-athletes and staff members to bet on professional sports and refocus the Association's enforcement efforts on college sports betting and behaviors that directly impact game integrity. If adopted, the change will be implemented only if Divisions II and III also vote to allow betting on pro sports.
Green Alert Take: Slippery slope.

EXTRA POINT
Per a National Weather Service report out of Lebanon Municipal Airport, the temperature topped out yesterday at 98.1 degrees with a heat index of 107. Our indoor-outdoor thermometer show the high here yesterday was 94.2. The good news is that the temperature on our Vermont hillside 29 miles (as the crow flies) from the airport dropped about 15 degrees in less than two hours after a storm blew through late yesterday afternoon. No one was happier about that than Griffin the Wonder Dog, who has spent much of the past two days in our much-cooler basement.
