The money quote on the back tells the story. Special thanks to a BGA reader for sending along these photos!
Last night the OT had a piece wrapping up the final camp practice, and tonight you can find out what the team is doing today. (It may surprise you. ;-) Tomorrow the Overtime site will take a look at the first practice of the first official "game week" of the season.

Speaking of game week, tonight's story will be about preparation for Lehigh, which plays what one outlet calls the FCS Game of the Week today. Here's the schedule for Dartmouth's three nonconference opponents today:
• No. 16 William & Mary (2-0) at No. 9 LEHIGH (2-0) , 2 p.m.
• MERRIMACK (0-2) at Maine (1-1), 5 p.m.
• MONMOUTH (1-1) at Western Michigan (0-1*), 6:30 p.m.
* or 1-0 depending on who you choose to believe ;-)

Back to Dartmouth's opener in Pennsylvania in another week. This showed up HERE today:
Here's what was written below that:
NCAA Football brings Dartmouth and Lehigh together on Saturday 19 September. The Madrid start time is 19:00. Times here follow the clock on your device.
Dartmouth come into it off a 28-35 defeat away at Robert Morris. Lehigh come into it off a 45-14 win away at Georgetown.
Next up for these sides: Monmouth @ Dartmouth on Saturday 26 September; Lehigh @ Pennsylvania on Saturday 26 September.
Sports Bar App lists every bar showing Dartmouth @ Lehigh and opens booking as they add it.
So if you happen to be in Spain's capital city and want to watch Dartmouth-Lehigh next week, you are in luck. Just don't go off searching for a replay of Dartmouth's 28-35 loss at Robert Morris because . . . Dartmouth not only didn't play Robert Morris last week, but it has never played Robert Morris. A curious error.

Almost forgot. That story on BGA Overtime about the Dartmouth offensive line? At the end there were pictures and a couple of paragraphs about a few Big Green players showing off their chipping and pitching skill (?) in a post-practice competition with members of the college golf teams on Memorial Field. Dartmouth's social media has now posted this:

EXTRA POINT
This shot Mrs. BGA took in our driveway when I was at practice late in the week makes me sad:

That's our '84 VW pop top camper getting yet another lift to our VW "whisperer" to fix issues that have kept it off the road this summer. We've owned and loved the bus since 1994 but have come to the unfortunate realization that it is probably best to let it go to someone who is more capable of giving it the care it deserves. Stay tuned.
