About On Deck

On Deck Online is just that - an online version of my weekly look-ahead-at-area-sports column, "On Deck," that appears in the Times Argus print edition on Mondays. Keep checking back for live blogs of games (from gyms, fields and rinks that actually have wireless); extra quotes that didn't make it into my stories; the occasional mail bag to respond to email from readers; good writing I find from newspapers and sports sites around the country; and more.

Free football @ NU

Football is free this weekend at Norwich, though the school is encouraging fans to bring a non-perishable food donation to support the Vermont Foodbank.

That alone should draw some extra fans to Sabine Field on Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m., but the game itself is going to be pretty great.

Norwich is currently on a five-game win streak and is undefeated in the league (Eastern Collegiate Football Conference) and is hosting N.Y. Maritime, which is 3-1 in the league. The winner would likely be named the league regular-season champion. The ECFC is so new that it will not yet receive an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III tournament, so for now the regular-season title is a big deal (it will be after the bid is awarded, but still!).

Very cool stuff.
