And speaking of the Saunier boys, Dartmouth head coach Sammy McCorkle said last month that while Grayson was limited during spring ball, he was still slated to take part in the Manning Passing Academy for the second time.
With Manning camp starting on Thursday, the National Football Foundation has a story under the headline, Manning Family Celebrates 30 Years of Growing the Game (LINK).

On the subject of football camps, the Sammy McCorkle camp will hold its second one-day session tomorrow. Here's the camp schedule for this year:

Most college camps have essentially become showcases for the attendees, and beyond a good attitude, they should bring something else. Dartmouth tight ends coach Kevin Daft frequently posts advice for recruits on his Xwitter account and a few days ago added this:

EXTRA POINTI was lucky to twice cover the Masters but That Certain Nittany Lion '16 – who went to the collegiate nationals as a member of the Penn State Club Golf Team – hasn't yet set foot on the hallowed Augusta National grounds. Each year he tosses his name into the lottery to buy tickets, and each year disappointment follows.
He was visiting last weekend and while we were watching the U.S. Open together he informed me the deadline for entering the Masters ticket lottery was that night. I dutifully signed onto the Masters.com site and tried to toss my name into the ring to double our chances of landing tickets. Notice the word tried.
You've read here before about the frustration we have because the database many online retailers use will not accept our street address as legitimate. The educated assumption is that is because there is no U.S. mail delivery on our part of the road.
We'll fill in all the information to make a purchase, click to complete a transaction and get an error message informing us that the address is wrong. In many instances it will instead offer our same street address – but in the adjacent town. That sounds like it would be simple, but clicking that address has led to lost packages and important mail when the other town does not forward mail to our PO box.
Fortunately, some businesses will allow us to use the post office box where we get our mail. Unfortunately, the Masters lottery states – in no uncertain terms – the address used to apply for tickets must be where we actually live. What to do in this case?
As it turned out, when the Masters entry form for the lottery returned an error, it offered the chance to use our correct street address – in that next town. Figuring the odds are against getting picked anyway, I went ahead, said that address was correct, and hit enter.
In the unlikely event my entry gets pulled, I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything is done by email rather than the U.S. mail, but you can bet I'll be sure to stop by the post office in the next town to forewarn them that something very, very important could be coming my way, albeit with the wrong town.
Getting the ducats by email would be the ticket, so to speak, but even that doesn't guarantee anything. It turns out another fellow has my exact email address, but with a number or symbol after, it, and you'd be amazed how often I get some kind of invoice intended for him, not me. I can't imagine winning the chance to buy tickets and the other guy getting an email intended for me.
But as I've said, the odds are against it ever getting that far. ;-)
