From a Dartmouth football alum and friend of BGA:

NextTitle18's next contest will be a back-to-the-future deal for the next home game on November 1st vs. Harvard. We will return to our original premise of "Guess The Attendance" at the game.

The closest guess will win a $100 gift card to Murphy's Tavern in Hanover.

Should be interesting to see how many folks turn out for what is a contest against an undefeated Harvard Crimson in a battle for sole possession of the lead in the Ivy title race heading into the far turn of the season.

To enter the contest, send an email to guesstheattendance@gmail.com with your prediction. Remember, one entry per email address.

Keep in mind that Memorial Field capacity is 13,000. The weather forecast for Saturday is 37 degrees with an 80 percent chance of rain or snow. Here's a little more help for you, keeping in mind this is not Homecoming:

2014 Attendance
Sept. 20 vs. Central Connecticut: 7,234 (night)
Oct. 4 vs Penn: 3,288 (rain)
Oct. 18 vs. Holy Cross: 7,335 (Homecoming, questionable forecast)

Dartmouth-Harvard Since 2000
2012 Dartmouth-Harvard (Homecoming): 10,138
2010 Dartmouth-Harvard: (Homecoming): 9,142

Sean Ronan '15 high fives with medals in hand.

The CHaD Half Marathon and Ripcord 5K started and finished at the Dartmouth green yesterday, raising $697,000 to benefit the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth. Among those cheering and handing out medals were members of the Dartmouth football team, including senior co-captain Sean Ronan.

Among those running the Half was That Certain '14, who crossed the line after 13.1 miles in a time of  1:46:15.1. She finished 40th of 482 women in the field.

While That Certain '14 was resting her legs yesterday afternoon That Certain Nittany Lion '16 was resting his vocal cords. He was in an amazing whiteout crowd of 107,895 who watched Penn State drop a 31-24 double-overtime game against Ohio State at Beaver Stadium. Like most of those in attendance, he couldn't believe the blown calls that led directly to 10 Ohio State points. Sour grapes? Not really. Check out this video.
