The All-Ivy League football team will be released later today.
Dartmouth has eased its way back into the ECAC rankings to determine the FCS "Beast of the East." Here's how the ECAC poll looks:

1. New Hampshire (10-1)
2. Villanova (10-2)
3. Harvard (10-0)
4. Fordham (10-2)
5. James Madison (9-3)
6. Richmond (8-4)
7. Sacred Heart (9-2)
8. Yale (8-2)
9. Dartmouth (8-2)
10. William and Mary (7-5)
Working on BGA Premium's season-ending Optimist-Pessimist yesterday I stumbled across something that had never before happened in Ivy League history.

With Columbia going 0-10, Cornell 1-9 (beating just Columbia) and Penn going 2-8 (beating just Columbia and Cornell) it's the first time the bottom three teams in the conference won the absolute minimum of three overall games combined.


Former Dartmouth teammates Andy Gay '14 and Garrett Waggoner '13 have debuted a Kickstarter campaign for "Cirkul Bottle – Your Drink, Your Way."

Check out the campaign HERE. From their page:
While attending Dartmouth College we came up with the idea behind the Cirkul Bottle. Garrett was pouring drink powder into a narrow mouthed water bottle and became frustrated as powder spilled. In unison, we said "There has to be a better way." From there we began brainstorming the features we wanted in our perfect bottle. 
After we developed the idea we entered the Dartmouth Ventures Entrepreneurial Competition where we were the only undergraduate team to make it to the finals of the competition. We knew right then that our idea needed to become a full time investment. Over the two next years we went to work on features and design elements, and finally after countless hours and several prototypes, we are now ready to bring the best product possible to the Kickstarter community.

The BGA Premium daily posting wrapped up last night. A little quick math revealed that there were 135 stories in the last 100 days and about 165,000 words on the site. That's about the number of words in the first two Harry Potter books combined. Thanks to everyone who helped keep BGA going.
