As I have said previously, Montana almost got a game put together with Dartmouth, a number of years ago when UM had an open weekend. UM ended up with Albany. With authorization from the AD, I worked with Dartmouth for about 5 weeks, to try to set up the game. The Dartmouth coach and asst AD in charge of scheduling were all for it, but the president wouldn't authorize dumping a game with UNH (who has almost dumped the game with Dartmouth the prior year when they thought they had a chance to play Syracuse).
The AD was a big believer in having an Ivy team here, and would have done a home-and-home too--to show the players and Griz fans an Ivy school. Thought it would have been a great experience.
I am currently doing very preliminary work on a UM-Dartmouth game. Don't know if it can be put together. Would be out a number of years. The nice thing about the Ivies is that they are not looking for money games. They are looking to play good or interesting games, and with like-minded schools. The Ivies have been scheduling down too much in recent years, in my view--which is not to say that they win all of those game either.
Dartmouth seems to have made a comeback, finally, in recent years, so that it wouldn't embarrass itself against UM. Dartmouth beat Yale this year, in a great battle, a couple weeks after Yale beat Army. Harvard continues to be the big dog in the Ivies, as it has been for a decade or so.
At Harvard's recruiting dinner last Saturday, with over a half dozen recruits along with parents, some of the talk was about Stitt being hired at Montana. As you know, Stitt had been the OC at Harvard.
