Dylan Sinnickson to Play Football this Fall

Friday, May 17, 2013

Note: Sorry for the lag in posts, but now that finals are coming to an end, Damon and I will try to upload some wrap-up thoughts on the basketball season (we have an interview with the seniors already recorded) and will start to look forward to the 2013 football season and the 2013-14 basketball season [...]

On Zach Driscoll’s All-American Snub

Wednesday, December 19, 2012

I was going to write a short post re-stating my frustration on Zach Driscoll not making the All-American Team (see argument here already made), but the guys who made the team responded to a tweet of mine and we had an exchange on the topic, which I thought I would share. For those who don’t [...]

On Tufts and Closing the Book on 2012

Thursday, November 15, 2012

See Damon’s article in the campus, with, among other things, a great description of John Wiet’s play-of-the-year lateral to Jared Onouye. Dodds took 13 plays to go 89 yards into the Middlebury red zone, where all went wrong for Tufts — as things tend to do during a 22-game losing streak — as Dodds and [...]

A Quick Note on Zach Driscoll

Tuesday, November 13, 2012

While we are hoping to see Middlebury QB Mac Foote, WR Zach Driscoll, and TE Billy Chapman all named to this year’s D3 Football All-American team, I wanted to take a minute to make the case very explicitly for Driscoll, whose Herculean efforts have somehow gone underappreciated this season. Damon and I have spent plenty [...]

Seniors Finish Strong

Saturday, November 10, 2012

Middlebury capped off its tremendous season with a 35-13 win at home over Tufts this afternoon. Mac Foote led the way with 389 yards and 4 touchdowns, putting the finishing touches on the best statistical quarterback season in NESCAC history. Although the Middlebury defense started off flat, they made up for it with a great [...]

A Game of Jumbo Proportions

Friday, November 9, 2012

Middlebury ends its season at home against Tufts, losers of 20 straight games. While the matchup is pretty lopsided, Middlebury has a lot to play for, both on an individual level and as a team. The Panthers still have an outside shot at sharing a NESCAC title, though it requires a win and a Trinity [...]

The Rocking Chair Class… oh Never Mind

Saturday, November 3, 2012

The Middlebury football team is in Clinton, New York today to play Hamilton (1-5) in a game that is not-so-popularly known as the Rocking Chair Classic. The “rivalry,” as Wikipedia calls it, began in 1980 when friends on the Board of Trustees of each school decided that the game would be played for the Mac-Jack [...]

Blown out

Sunday, October 28, 2012

Middlebury went in to Trinity with a NESCAC championship in mind and left with a humbling reminder from the Bantams that room at the top is hard to come by in this conference. Trinity’s 45-7 rout was about as convincing as they can come, as the Bantams dominated from start to finish, on every unit, [...]
