Enrollment Up Again

Gang, I was stalk-, er, going about my business earlier, and sure enough Hoops bought Twizzlers at Town Pump. I mean, who does that?! What a jerk head! Red Vines, hello? Anyway, we’ll talk about it tonight at the, “Honestly, I don’t care about Hoops, I just think it’s funny that…” meeting.
 
There are various halls of fame. Is that hard for you to understand? An athletic hall of fame is not a football hall of fame.
There might be various hall of fames but as far as Dartmouth is concerned, you aren't in ANY of them. 1200 Dartmouth student athlete graduates in their athletic hall of fame and you have been passed over for more than 50 years. You want to brag that you are in a Dartmouth football hall of fame but you can't provide one thread of evidence that you are. That's not hard to understand.

Football players have to be all-Americans, as I said. Other sports don't have that criteria. There were only a handful of football players admitted to WofG in the almost 25 years around my era, after Wearers of Green was started in the mid-90's.. Football players pay little attention to the Wearers of the Green and don't help run it. It is run by the PC crowd. Womens' sports have a huge number in the Wearers of the Green. As usual, you don't know what you are talking about. I'd rather be one of the top 6 Dartmouth d-backs in the history of the Ivy League Conference, as of when the list came out, than in Wearers of the Green. I don't need to provide you with evidence of anything. My photo is up in the Dartmouth performance center, where this group is located. Feel free to tour the performance center. My photo is also up on the Dartmouth Wall of Fame in the very nice football office facility lounge. With a nice blurb. No one in my class, and few in the classes I played with, have a photo and a blurb.

Again, you said you would quit posting when I won a bet with you. And then you just created another account. You are a dishonest low life. But as Soldier said, several of you have Hoops jerseys on. That's pretty funny.

Perfect, can't wait for them to make parking more expensive again! And then tear out another parking lot.
I work on campus and have no trouble parking. 🤷🏾‍♂️

If you took 2 minutes and talked to the folks who handle the parking logistics, they could tell you how many parking spots were lost due to building a new dorm on campus for the first time in forever.

Hint it isn’t nearly as many as you think it is.

Okay to be fair! Do you or do you not have a reserved spot? Like if I had one of those I would never complain about parking; but, I also think it's strange that don't just charge a flat fee to all students to cover parking costs?

Like yes I know the parking permit but I think a 75 dollar fee on every on campus student for a parking at the beginning of the semester would be so much more understandable than the current system.

What about the people who live by campus? The furthest I lived was about 10 blocks away. I didn’t want to pay for other people’s on campus parking when I never used it.

I guess for me it was the same thought process as something like the game tickets or the gym or any other like public thing that we pay a student fee towards. My thing is that like sometimes, I've just forgotten to pay for the passport fee on my phone and then ended up getting a 65 dollar ticket which sucks because like god damn that's a decent amount of money to be out of.

I do not. Also to be fair, since I’m staff, I get charged out of my paycheck so I don’t need to pay all up front.

However, I arrive on campus regularly around 930 and am always able to find somewhere.

I understand not everyone can do that (work before class, etc).

I also agree that just charging a student fee for parking makes sense (and could help for other things as well, like maintenance). The tricky bit is getting ASUM to pass it. Not sure if students who live on campus without a car would push back on it. I also don’t know the history - like if it has even been attempted or not.

A dirty secret, nobody at any school has good things to say about parking. 😆

I like to compare it to the dirty secret of the united states, “Our weather is so bipolar one day it could raining and one day it could be sunny” - a person in every city I the united states. “Our parking sucks” - a student at every university

So your blurb is you are one of the six best defensive backs to ever play in the history of the Ivy League but you were only all conference one time...and that the wall of fame you claim to be on is the real Dartmouth the hall of fame. Got it.

I was picked as one of the best Dartmouth db's in the history of the official Ivy League conference up until the time it was selected. Let's bet $100 on that. Okay? I said only that I'm on the Wall of Fame; said nothing about it being the real hall of fame. A safety I played next to was drafted by the NFL, and he too was only all-conference one year.

You should go back and read your bullshit posts about being in the Dartmouth football HALL OF FAME. If you played at the same level as your buddy how come you weren't drafted? Just keep lying about the lie, Jack.
That's what you do.

I am in the Dartmouth football hall of fame. It's all first-team all-Ivy players when I played, as I have said before. Our photos are all on the wall over the benches and other equipment in the Dartmouth performance center. My nephew, who also played corner, said his lifting bench was right before my photo. I wasn't as big or fast as my safety friend. He was 6.3.5, 205 or higher, and the fastest guy on the team forward and backwards. He only started his senior year. After his Rhodes Scholarship, he came to Stanford law school, and we were the b-backs on the same flag football team. We used modified Dartmouth secondary signals to communicate. I was the fastest on the team backwards my senior year. You really are fascinated with me, aren't you. As Soldier said, some of you guys wear Hoops jerseys. You are making a run at being in the egriz hall of fame internet stocker inaugural class.

Are you afraid to bet on whether I was picked as one of the top 6 d-backs on the all-50 year Dartmouth team? $100. You probably don't have that much money.

i suppose his team is part of the hall of fame, which means he is, too.
This is what Gemini says:

"Yes, the 1970 Dartmouth football team is represented in the Wearers of the Green, Dartmouth’s version of an athletic Hall of Fame.

While the program typically inducts individuals, several key members of that legendary undefeated squad and the team's overall legacy are core parts of the "Wearers" roster.

Key Inductees from the 1970 Team​

Because the 1970 team is considered one of the greatest in Ivy League history (finishing 9–0, winning the Lambert Trophy, and ranking #14 in the nation), many of its stars met the criteria for induction (All-Americans, All-Ivy honors, or professional play). Notable Wearers from that era include:

Murry Bowden ’71: The captain and star linebacker (and College Football Hall of Famer).

Jim Chasey ’71: The standout quarterback of the undefeated season.

Bob Blackman: The legendary head coach who led the 1970 team before moving to Illinois.

Reggie Williams ’76: Though he played shortly after, he is one of the most famous football "Wearers" and maintains the 1970s era of dominance.

Why They Qualify​

The Wearers of the Green was established in 1984 to honor athletes who achieve specific milestones. The 1970 team is heavily represented because:

They were Ivy League Champions.

They won the Lambert-Meadowlands Trophy (signifying the best team in the East).


Multiple players earned All-American or First Team All-Ivy honors.

Did You Know?​

The 1970 team was so dominant they outscored their opponents 311 to 42 over the nine-game season, including five shutouts."

"Yes, the 1970 Dartmouth football team is one of the most prominent groups featured in the Wearers of the Green, which is Dartmouth’s official athletic hall of fame.

However, there is a small distinction in how they are "in" it:

1. Individual Inductions (The "Wearers")​

The 1970 team is legendary because so many of its individual players met the strict criteria for induction. To be a "Wearer of the Green," an athlete usually must be an All-American, a national champion, a major league professional, or a record-breaker.

Key 1970 team members who are individually inducted include:

Murry Bowden '71: Inducted as an All-American and College Football Hall of Famer.
  • Willie Bogan '71: Inducted for his professional career in the NFL.
  • Jim Chasey '71: Inducted for his exceptional career as the team's quarterback.
  • Coach Bob Blackman: Inducted for his legendary coaching record.

2. Team Recognition​

While "Wearers of the Green" primarily inducts individuals, the 1970 Team is frequently honored as a collective unit during Hall of Fame events and anniversaries. Because they finished 9-0, won the Lambert Trophy (naming them the best team in the East), and were the last Ivy League team to finish in the Top 15 of the AP Poll, they are often used as the "gold standard" for what it means to be a Wearer of the Green.

Summary​

  • Is the 1970 team a "Wearer of the Green"? Yes, through its individual stars and its status as one of the greatest teams in the college's history.
  • Is it an "All-Athletic" team? No, "Wearers of the Green" is the Hall of Fame for all sports (skiing, rowing, hockey, etc.). The 1970 football team is just one (very famous) part of that Hall of Fame."
 
Some more quotes from Gemini in response to greatest team in Ivy history

"if we are talking about the modern era, your 1970 Dartmouth team is the most frequent choice for the #1 spot.

1. The Modern Era Gold Standard: 1970 Dartmouth

Most historians point to this team because they were the last Ivy League squad to truly compete at a national level.
  • The Resume: Finished 9-0 and ranked #14 in the final AP Poll. No Ivy League team has finished in the top 20 since.
  • The Defense: They allowed only 42 points all season (4.7 per game) and recorded 6 shutouts in 9 games.
  • The Accolade: They won the Lambert Trophy, which at the time officially designated them as the best team in the entire East (beating out much larger schools).

The Verdict: If you want the team that was most dominant against its modern peers, it’s 1970 Dartmouth. If you want the team that had the biggest impact on college football history, it’s 1888 Yale.
Would you like to see the 1970 Dartmouth schedule to see exactly who they shut out during that run?"
 
That 1888 Yale squad had the better players, imo. Nobody could overpower center William Herbert "Pa" Corbin at 6’2” 180. He was a bruiser who saw a broken jaw everywhere he looked (Pictured with ball).

Speaking of Yale, when my son (UM grad) was interviewing for an MSTP position, the interviewer at Yale (14th ranked med school at the time) had the nerve to ask him why he didn’t go to a better school for his undergrad. My son’s response was that he went to school where he (we) could afford it and the majority of his professors had Ivy League credentials but chose to live in MT for the quality of life. Yale interviewer said “ I really think that will hold you back”. Son ended up at a MUCH higher ranked med school.
