4 C's: Captains, Corbo, Catchers And A Cleanser

Dartmouth's social media has officially introduced its 2026 football captains:

A scouting report branded as the "Bucs Wire," or "Vikings Wire" (and probably other "Wires") takes a look at former Dartmouth tight end Chris Corbo, now at Georgia Tech. Here's how it reads (LINK):

Chris Corbo is not going to be a major player in my early rankings, but with Georgia Tech, he has a chance to be one of the biggest risers when we come back to this group. At Dartmouth, he shone against lesser competition and showcased himself as someone who can separate himself from defenders, be a reliable blocker, and someone who can be a major asset to his quarterback. Being in the ACC will be a lot of pressure so we will know soon enough if he is a piece of coal or a diamond.

Green Alert Take: That last line is one seriously cold cliché.

If you are buying what HERO Sports is selling, Dartmouth will be charged with slowing down three of the top 25 wide receivers in the country this fall. (LINK)

EXTRA POINT
Bars of Ivory Soap no longer float. Sad, but true.

While Ivory is still promoted as 99.44/100 percent pure, as a result of a change in the formula in 2023 it will now sink to the bottom of your tub. Or, as I learned this morning, the bottom of your sink. Here's the explanation for the change, courtesy of Procter & Gamble (LINK):
(I)n the late 19th century, when people were still bathing in the murky waters of local rivers and streams, a soap that floated was revolutionary. Since we are now bathing in tubs/showers, a floating bar is no longer necessary.
The funny thing about that is I'm guessing I'm not the only one who stopped bathing in the "murky waters of local rivers and streams" in the 20th century, and they didn't change the formula until the 21st. ;-)
