If you have recovered from your food coma you should know by now that Yale advanced in the playoffs with a remarkable comeback against Youngstown State. Here’s the winning touchdown run by Yale tailback Josh Pitsenberger. Do check out the hole the Bulldogs created for him:

The Any Given Saturday message board has a thread headlined, FCS Bowl Games -- Time to Make It Happen!!! From the posting (LINK):
Eligibility requirements: all teams with 6 DI wins that aren't in the FCS playoffs, Celebration Bowl or SWAC Championship Game. Rules for matchups: no regular season re-matches. Conference match-ups allowed if they didn't play in regular season.
One proposed matchup: Maine (6-6) @ Dartmouth (7-3).
Green Alert Take: Sounds like fun, but given the paltry attendance at actual playoff games, it’s hard to believe there would be much of an appetite for pseudo bowl games.
Green Alert Take II: I do kind of like a later post suggesting Maine-Dartmouth be called the Ben & Jerry’s Bowl. ;-)

EXTRA POINT
One of the great appeals of this house when we were moving was all of the windows looking out over the incredible views of the White Mountains. In our kitchen alone there are seven huge windows. Our living room has five more similarly sized windows and a set of French doors that also brighten the downstairs.
I bring all that up because on Friday afternoon I noticed a nightlight in our kitchen, despite all of those glorious windows, had come on before 4 p.m. – and it wasn’t a particularly overcast day. That’s how early darkness is setting in. Yuck.
I just checked and sunset here today is at 4:13:03. It is going to keep moving earlier and earlier until we bottom out on Dec. 9 with sunset at 4:11:41.
The good news? On Dec. 10 sunset will be at 4:11:42, one second later than the day before. ;-)
