From the O-Line to Treasury Secretary?

Pay attention now. Here's what it says in Buddy Teevens' bio:

Teevens holds the Robert L. Blackman Endowed Coaching Position, named in memory of Bob Blackman, who coached Dartmouth from 1955 to 1970, and created through the gift of Henry M. (Hank) Paulson '68, an outstanding offensive tackle who played for Blackman from 1965-67.

Close followers of Dartmouth football with institutional memory will certainly recognize the name Hank Paulson. Those who don't may know the name Henry Paulson -- and if they don't, they soon will. That's because Paulson, the Goldman Sachs chariman, has been announced as President Bush's choice to replace outgoing Treasury Secretary John Snow.

From President Bush's quotes on Paulson:

"He went to college at Dartmouth. He starred on the field as an All-Ivy football player and in the classroom as a Phi Beta Kappa student."

... The father of former Dartmouth football and basketball player Justin Whisenant '01, who gets a quick mention in this story, is believed to be a finalist to be the next head coach of the Sacramento Kings.
