Early Decision Class

Record-Setting QB, Prolific RB Among 10 (Or 11)

JANUARY 9, 2012 (Big Green Alert) – With a quarterback who broke one state championship game record and tied two others, a running back who led his state in rushing yards, yards per carry and touchdowns, and a couple of players Rivals has tagged with stars, there’s a lot to like in Dartmouth’s Early Decision recruiting class.

The 10 recruits in the class will be joined by an 11th student-athlete who will begin his career this fall after a two-year LDS mission, as well as by a group of regular-decision recruits that will be announced in the spring.

Here are capsule looks at the 10 Early Decision (plus one) recruits that head coach Buddy Teevens is allowed to speak about by NCAA rules.

Final Optimist-Pessimist

NOVEMBER 21, 2011 (Big Green Alert) –  Whether they will go back to their old ways and meet up on Monday mornings or do the digital thing that they tried out late this year remains to be seen. To be honest, it remains to be seen if they’ll even be around a year from now, so let’s take one final peek at the back-and-forth between the one you love and the one you live to hate.

A Look Back, A Look Ahead

Confidence In Program That Future Is Bright

NOVEMBER 20, 2011 (Big Green Alert) – Dartmouth tailback Nick Schwieger will never forget the last game of his college career when he ran for 157 yards to help the Big Green win its third game in a row, post its first winning season in conference play since 2003, and earn a share of second place in the Ivy League.

That’s a far cry from the final game of his freshman season when Schwieger topped Dartmouth with 11 yards on three carries as the Big Green finished off a winless season with a 28-10 loss at Princeton.

“Lucky for me I don’t really remember that game,” Dartmouth’s all-time rushing leader said after Saturday’s 24-17 win over the Tigers. “But I remember that off-season. We have really come a long way from that day. Just the attitude, the way people on this football team carry themselves has done a complete 180.

“This is a team that is going to continue to get better. It is loaded with young talent and some guys that really have a great attitude and are going to work hard. I am very proud to say that I’m a Dartmouth football player and I am really looking forward to this team’s future.”

Winner And Still Champion

Schwieger Defends Ivy League Rushing Title

NOVEMBER 19, 2011 (Big Green Alert) – It was the game within the game and Dartmouth won that one, too.

Coming into Saturday’s matchup against Princeton, Big Green senior Nick Schwieger was in a nip-and-tuck battle with Tiger freshman Chuck Dibilio for the mythical Ivy League rushing crown. Although Schwieger had a 151-yard advantage in yards on the season, the Ancient Eight is one of the rare conferences that determines its statistical leader in league games only.

Against Ivy opponents, Schwieger entered the final contest with 766 yards while Dibilio had 749. Game on and everyone knew it.

“Yeah,” Schwieger said when asked if he was aware how the race for the rushing title stood. “They were hyping it up pretty big this whole week. At the same time, you can’t really focus on that.”

Aided by a 44-yard gain, Schwieger carried 30 times for 157 yards while Dibilio ran 23 times for 66 yards, giving the Dartmouth senior his second “league-only” rushing crown – and third overall Ivy League rushing title – by 108 yards.

Seniors Go Out On Right Note

Beating Princeton Clinches Tie For Second In Ivy

NOVEMBER 19, 2011 (Big Green Alert) – Three weeks ago, after a disheartening 41-10 loss at Harvard, sophomore linebacker Bronson Green had the unenviable task of facing the media in the postgame press conference.

After the usual questions about this play or that strategy, Green spoke with passion and steely resolve about how important it was to send the Dartmouth seniors out on the right note. He well knew their story. About how they had suffered through a winless season as freshmen, but not a single player quit at season’s end.

He knew how hard they worked in the offseason to scratch out just two wins the next fall and yet every last one of them came back for more. He was there and knew how they went 6-4 a year ago. And he knew of, and shared in, their hopes and dreams for a championship this fall.

Coming off the school’s first winning season since 1998 they believed this was going to be their year. But after heartbreaking losses to Penn and Sacred Heart on a miserable night in Massachusetts they tumbled to 2-5 and no one outside of their locker room was giving them much of a chance to turn things.

Bronson Green saw things differently.

“We have to send these seniors off right,” he said after that debacle. “They’ve been through it all. They deserve much better than this. … We are going to continue to work hard and we are going to put together some wins, and we are going to send these guys off right.”

Nostradamus should have been so right.
