The Oakland A's were the first team to extensively (and successfully) use sabermetrics, or scientific, statistical baseball analysis. Through the best-selling book "Moneyball," by Michael Lewis, the A's successful utilization of sabermetrics became famous. Now, nearly half the teams in Major League Baseball use scientific statistical analysis, most notably, the Red Sox, who employ the legendary sabermetrician Bill James.

Country has the Dixie Chicks, pop has Destiny's Child, and classical has Eroica Trio. They are three astonishingly beautiful women with talent to match their looks. Making their first appearance at the Hop Saturday night, they delivered an impressive performance to a packed Spaulding Auditorium. What drew so many people to listen to classical music on such an unbearably frigid night? Perhaps it was the gorgeous women on the posters that were plastered up all over campus, but more likely it was the remarkable talent of the group that prompted such a turnout.

Well, good news -- "The BlabberForce" is off to a roaring start. They've recruited some prominent figureheads at Parkhurst, including President Wright and Dean Larimore. In their effort to perk up Dartmouth's image, they've composed a delightful new slogan: "We cannot be good for good sake. We must tell people how good we are." That's rich. They've also unveiled a new logo (you could even call it a Brand). It depicts a ghoulish pair of lips with a flaccid tongue flopping out, much like the Rolling Stones icon. But get this -- the tongue is pierced with a ring in the shape of a "D." Fine work, guys: you'll be name-dropping again in no time.

Since opening the Ivy League season on Jan. 4 in Cambridge, the Big Green men's basketball team has sent a youthful lineup, containing only four upperclassmen, onto courts from Providence to Philadelphia. There, the Big Green youth movement has done battle with veteran opponents, including Brown's Earl Hunt and Alai Nuualiitia, Princeton's Kyle Wente and Ray Robins, and Pennsylvania's First Team All-Ivy trio of Andrew Toole, Ugonna Onyekwe and Koko Archibong. Despite Dartmouth's 0-6 league record (4-15 overall), the results have been encouraging for Dartmouth head coach Dave Faucher's young team.

Ever look at someone and suddenly, unbidden, the thought "Old School" emerges from the depths? Not old school in the sense of Dr. J with a huge Afro or a helmet-less Bobby Orr, but rather a sense of pervading dignity and honor in the mold of Dean Smith or Joe Paterno. These heroic figures (for heroes they are) stand unwavering in the stream of professionalization in major college athletics, holding onto principle and honesty that is increasingly lacking from collegiate athletic departments (see Bob Huggins, Jerry Tarkanian, anyone associated with Alabama football).
