It’s tough to defend someone who was supposed to be Troy Smith. The Big Green (0-5, 0-2 Ivy League) found this out yesterday as Holy Cross (5-2) defeated them 24-21 in overtime at Dartmouth’s Homecoming game. The win came thanks in large part to the play of Holy Cross quarterback, sophomore phenom Dominic Randolph. Randolph played in a camp with Troy Smith, current Heisman Trophy front-runner and quarterback for the number one team in the nation, the Ohio State Buckeyes (7-0). When scouts saw the two play, most said that it was Randolph, and not Smith, that teams should want under center. Yet Smith ended up in Columbus, Ohio while Randolph throws for the College of the Holy Cross.

It was 7:30 p.m. on Friday night. Walking with my girlfriend, Jeannie, to Food Court from her dorm room in the Choates (she’s a UGA, I swear), we could tell there was something unusual in the air other than the pleasant briskness of a fall evening at Dartmouth. Green-clad ’10s, donning face paint and jubilantly carrying light-sticks, gamboled over to Brittle Lounge in preparation for The Sweep. Continuing our stroll toward fried-food scrumptiousness, we passed Russell Sage where myriad freshmen had formed the ultimate shmob, jumping up and down in unison and chanting “oh-ten, oh-ten” over and over again. Homecoming was upon us.

Dartmouth men’s soccer team seems to be back on winning terms after a disappointing start of the season. After claiming its first Ivy League win in an overtime nailbiter against Yale last weekend, the Big Green managed to overcome the resistance of league leader University of Pennsylvania on Sunday.
