His green Converse high tops have white laces. His green-and-white striped socks are pulled up over his green-and-white striped wind pants, which are layered underneath a pair of athletic shorts — one leg green, the other white. On the back of his white t-shirt, in green letters, is the slogan: “One College. One Tradition. Victory.” Green leis adorn his neck, and a green cowbell hangs from a Dartmouth ribbon. His cheeks are painted with white and green stripes. A green bandana holds back a shoulder-length wig — one half dyed white, the other green. He is screaming. And screaming.

The Dartmouth field hockey (4-9, 1-4 Ivy) team wanted to make a statement in Saturday’s Homecoming match-up against Columbia (8-5, 3-5 Ivy). With only two weeks and four games left in a roller coaster season, the Big Green needed to ignite some kind of spark so it could conclude the season on a strong note. The only question was, would fans see the team that dominated Davidson last week with a fast paced attack or the team that struggled to buy a shot in the Boston College game?

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No, it’s not Christmas, or the day that I finally get a job and stop obsessing about it. It’s that special time at Dartmouth when certain sophomore men sprout mustaches, resurrect their preschool Power Rangers lunch boxes, decide to wear the same clothes for months on end, or mysteriously lose all of their hair.

It’s never too late to reflect on the weekend’s festivities, so Schmidley and I decided to stretch the limits of what can be deemed a sports column. While you’re reading this in a post-Homecoming haze, think of your fondest memory from the past few days.

The Monday after a big weekend’s “Toe to Toe” is always one that promises to be entertaining. Last spring, after Green Key weeekend, Hodes and I had a “Pong vs. Beirut” showdown. Needless to say, Hodes went down in flames that Monday — I’ll admit, I still, to this day, cannot figure out what possessed Hodes to argue the notion that Beirut is a superior game to Pong, especially considering the school we attend.
