HANOVER – The official
signup for the sixth year of Big Green Alert football coverage has
kicked off.
As always there will be a minimum of one
newspaper-length story published every
day from the start
of the cycle in early August through the end of the season. During the
season there will once again be 10 or so full-length stories each week.
Every practice will be covered with same-day stories (including two on
double-session days). Two stories will be filed on location the night
of each game.
(All current subscriptions will continue
until the season previews begin on August 11.)
In 2009 there were three levels and they will remain
in place for 2010:
• Season Pass: $65
• Season
Pass with email alert at time of each posting: $75
• Family Season
Pass (with email
alert at time of each posting) allowing readers
to share their subscription with other
family members: $100. (Please limit the number of alerts and make sure
people really want them. I felt a little like a spammer last year when
I got notes back from people asking me to pull them off the list.)
ONCE MORE WITH
FEELING: Whether
paying by check or PayPal, if you subscribed
last year you do
not need to fill
out a new Green
Alert form (the one asking you for a username and password).
That bollixes up my accounting.
Payment is accepted by
check or Pay Pal.
Find out how
to pay by check – including
WHERE to send it – by clicking on the check
image below. (Checks
are preferable because I am
charged a fee with every online transaction, but
it's your call.)
New
and returning subscribers also may pay for a full
year's subscription to Big Green Alert via the convenience of PayPal
(use pulldown menu below). NOTE: If
you use PayPal
and are a new subscriber and PayPal doesn't direct you on how to set up
a password, please click on the check (above), fill out the form and
ignore the bit about sending a check.

Off Depth and Talent
But That's Not the Best Part

HANOVER – Quarterback Conner Kempe showed his big arm and Billy
Bradshaw showed off his legs. Charles Bay and Tyler Melancon continued
their strong springs and Chad Hollis made what might be the play of the
camp in Friday’s extended scrimmaging on Memorial Field.
But the absolute best thing about the 12 days of spring football?

Regular-Decison
Recruits
May 6, 2010
By Bruce Wood

HANOVER – Anyone who says they know for sure whether a recruiting class
is a winner before it has even stepped foot on campus is fooling
himself. Or herself.
Coaches have a pretty good clue, of course, but at the FCS level it is
still something of a crapshoot even for them.
That said, Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens likes what he sees when he
scans the list of recruits in the Class of 2014.

Weather or

Like the Skies, Tuesday Got
Better for the Big Green
May 4, 2010
By Bruce
Wood
biggreenalert.com
HANOVER –If you think picking football games is tough, you ought to try
to predict the weather here on the border of New Hampshire and Vermont.
Last week Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens twice postponed practice
because of dicey forecasts and came to regret it when the rain and,
yes, the snow stopped by the appointed hour.
Tuesday’s forecast was actually more dire than dicey.
But despite ominous skies and occasionally heavy rain that lent gravity
to a “weather-alert” warning of possible thunder and lightning until 8
p.m., Teevens chose to plow ahead. He figured to keep one eye on the
action at ground level and one eye on the heavens – just in case.
He's glad he did. On both accounts.

HANOVER – After Wednesday’s practice was postponed because of inclement
weather, Buddy Teevens strongly suggested that if Dartmouth’s first
practice in five days wasn’t to his liking the staff huff and puff
until it was.
The staff was as good as the head coach’s word Thursday. The practice
wasn’t.

HANOVER – Sudden and seismic change has come to a Dartmouth football
schedule that had been set in stone since 2000.
First it was Sacred Heart replacing the University of New Hampshire on
the 2010 schedule. On Wednesday another rumored change became official
as it was formally announced that Bucknell will take the place of
Colgate on Sept. 18 as this fall’s season-opening opponent.

HANOVER –
It doesn’t matter who you ask.
The answer will be the same.
The Dartmouth College football team that began spring drills last week
is markedly bigger and stronger than the Dartmouth College football
team that walked off the field last November. It’s also bigger and
stronger than the one before that.
And the one before that.

Meet the New
Defensive Coordinator
Don Dobes Wants the
'Swagger' Back in Hanover
April 17, 2010
By Bruce
Wood

HANOVER –
Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens owes Don Dobes big-time. We’ll get to
that in good time, but first you should know that’s not why he hired
Dobes as his new offensive coordinator.
He hired him because, well, let’s let Teevens explain why.
“He’s someone who has great experience and teaching ability,” Teevens
said after Saturday morning’s practice on drizzly Memorial Field. “He
has tremendous energy, knowledge and enthusiasm. We needed to improve
at the linebacking position and he’s a real plus there.
“The players have accepted him and warmed up to him very, very quickly.”

Thoughts On His Philosophy

HANOVER –
New Dartmouth offensive coordinator Jim Pry didn’t bat an
eyelash at the question tossed his way following Thursday’s practice on
Memorial Field. In fact, he sounded as if he welcomed it.
“Is it easier or harder for you to come in and not have an incumbent
starting quarterback?”
