Vince Marriott: This Saturday, one of the most historic athletic events in the history of the United States is taking place the 138th running of the Kentucky Derby. This event has for over a century been the best measuring stick for speed, endurance and racing skill of thoroughbred horses in the country, and it shows no signs of disappointing this year. Hansen has a great shot, but Daddy Long Legs should also challenge for the title. Even if horse racing isn't necessarily your thing, the outrageous outfits and unlike celebrity attendees also provide for quality entertainment. (Saturday, 5-7 p.m., NBC)

This is a great time for television, especially if you just had a stressful week full of midterms, late nights and cough medicine like I did. Seeing as I have a window of about five days before I have to spend countless hours in the library which, by the way, also means I'll be spending all my DBA at KAF I feel like I must take advantage of that time by watching televised sporting events. My options are endless. Baseball season is well underway, and I know that because 75 percent of SportsCenter's highlights are baseball-related, unless there was a game-winning goal in a thrilling double overtime NHL playoff game. If either of those isn't on, you're in luck because the NBA playoffs kicked off on Saturday to start TNT's "40 Games in 40 Nights."

Due to a quick offense and superior goalkeeping from Fergus Campbell '12, the Big Green made quick work of the Catamounts (2-12, 1-4 America East) on Tuesday. Drew Tunney '12 starred in the first quarter, notching an assist on a goal by Chris Costabile '13 under five minutes into the game before scoring a goal six minutes later off of a Kip Dooley '12 assist.

Under the guidance of head coach Alexander Magleby '00, back from his commitments with the U.S. national sevens team, the Big Green easily defeated the Raiders on Saturday. Dartmouth dominated the game from start to finish, scoring at ease and at regular intervals, leaving the Raiders in a 44-5 hole at halftime. Kevin Clark '14 opened the scoring with a try early in the game, while two penalties and a second try from captain Paul Jarvis '12 put the Big Green up 18-0 within the first 15 minutes of the game.

The Big Green began the Saturday games with the hope of hosting the Ivy Championship Series. In the first game, Dartmouth jumped on the Crimson (12-30, 8-12 Ivy) early. In the second inning, Dustin Selzer '14 led off with a single, but that would prove to be the only time the ball left the infield. Thanks to a combination of three infield hits, two hit batsmen and a balk, Dartmouth managed to take a 4-0 lead.

These athletes are relatively common at Division-I schools because colleges and universities across the country encourage many of their student-athletes to redshirt one year to be able to stay for a fifth year. A redshirt athlete can practice with the team for an entire season in which he or she is not technically a participant in the sport, thus gaining strength and experience that will benefit the player and the team in the future. An athlete generally redshirts as a freshman, a year when he or she is less likely to get significant playing time, or becomes a medical redshirt due to injury. Medical redshirts can participate in no more than 30 percent of his or her team's games in a season.

Vince Marriott: Even though there are plenty of real sporting events happening this week, I really can't see myself prioritizing any of them over the NFL Draft. Even though Andrew Luck is already guaranteed to go to the Indianapolis Colts, there will still be plenty of drama on the first two days to keep everything interesting. I can't stand the third day (I don't know or care about any of the players) or staring at Mel Kiper's hair for hours at a time, but the first few rounds provide better entertainment than any baseball, basketball or hockey game. Who will get drafted higher than expected? Who will drop? What trades will be made? All will be answered this Thursday and Friday. (NFL Network, Thursday and Friday, 8 p.m. and 7 p.m., respectively)

Two years ago, my good friend Paul Glenn '10 wrote in his weekly column that he vehemently disagreed with the creation of an Ivy League Tournament to decide the men's and women's basketball conference championship ("A View from the Top," Feb. 8, 2010). I guess wisdom doesn't come with height, huh? This past Wednesday, word came from the Ivy League that the coaches of the Ancient Eight teams have proposed a two-round tournament at the end of the regular season to decide the conference's automatic bids in the men's and women's NCAA Tournaments. It appears the Ivy League has decided to join other top-level conferences in the NCAA and introduce postseason play.

This week, I sat down with Nick Lombardi '15, the third baseman on the Dartmouth baseball team, to discuss the team's season and his transition to college baseball.

In Saturday's first game, Dartmouth started off strong, jumping out to a 2-1 lead in the second inning. Rhiannon Saucedo '15 began by drawing a walk and Kristen Rumley '15 followed with a single to right field. Yale starter Chelsey Dunham walked in two runs with the bases loaded to give the Big Green the lead.

Dartmouth led the Tigers (7-6, 4-2 Ivy) early in the game with the score at 3-1 and then again at 4-3, but as the game progressed, the margin tipped increasingly in favor of Princeton.

The Dartmouth men's lacrosse team got back on the right track with its first win in over a month on Saturday. The Big Green defeated the University of Pennsylvania at Scully-Fahey Field, 7-6, to snap an eight-game losing streak. The win propelled the Big Green to a 3-8 record (1-4 Ivy) and dropped the Quakers (3-9, 1-5 Ivy) to the bottom of the Ivy League standings. Due to the results of other games over the weekend, however, Dartmouth was eliminated from playoff contention.

The middle of the Big Green lineup produced clutch hits throughout the weekend. Clean-up batter Dustin Selzer '14 hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the 12th inning during the second game on Friday to lead the Big Green to a 5-4 win. Selzer then added a game-winning, two-run home run in Saturday's first game, giving Dartmouth a 2-0 victory. Jeff Keller '14, hitting fifth in the lineup behind Selzer, raised his season average to .393, thanks in part to a home run in the series finale to propel the Big Green offense to victory.

Vince Marriott: There's nothing in sports like a good rivalry. Ohio State-Michigan, Lakers-Celtics and even Oxford-Cambridge have provided decades and even centuries of memorable matchups that often transcend the sports themselves. Still, none of these rivalries can match the intensity of Yankees-Red Sox baseball, because you never quite know what you're going to get. Whether its an intentional hit, a thrown bat or an all-out brawl, this rivalry rarely disappoints. On Friday (conveniently scheduled by Major League Baseball to happen on a weekend), these two teams face off for the first time this season, and it's not a game you want to miss.
