Received this email after yesterday's posting on Dartmouth's scoring leaders since 2000:
Your posting the scoring leaders today made me wonder about Owen Zalc’s career total. With a “paltry” 56 points in his junior season, he surpassed Dennis Durkin as Dartmouth’s leading kicking scorer (206-202 points). Not sure if you had mentioned this previously. With another seven points, he will surpass Al Marsters’ total and become the program’s second leading scorer behind Myles Lane, at an unreachable 307 points.
That sent me scrambling to update the Big Green's overall scoring leaders in the Ivy League era:

After seeing the above Xweet, I posted this on BGA Overtime last night:
Given pleasant weather at 6 a.m., the practice was held on Memorial Field where Zach Pierson, the Dartmouth program's manager of content services for football, put his camera to work and produced some epic photos.
These pictures were posted on the Dartmouth football Xwitter page as well as its Instagram page.
Because a lot of Dartmouth fans do not visit those sites, the photos are reproduced here to help them get the viewership they deserve. Huge kudos to Zach for his work producing these images from the first full-pad practice of the spring. Click on the photos for a better look.
Click on the Xweet above to view the pictures. Or if you prefer, visit BGA Overtime to check out Zach's work, reposted with appreciation HERE.

If you've been on campus over the past year-plus you've noticed Crosby Street, which runs in front of Buddy Teevens Stadium, has been closed. If you are curious about what is going on, the college has an update under the headline, Progress Continues on Dartmouth’s Energy Transition; The project has already laid 3.5 miles of hot and chilled water piping across campus. Find that update HERE.

EXTRA POINTMrs. BGA and I were watching Jeopardy last evening when she noticed quite a show being put on in the sky over Mount Moosilauke. This photo can't compare to Zach Pierson's images, but it should give you a pretty good indication of what we saw. With the sun at our backs, it is filtering through storm clouds and lighting up just one cloud in the east.
