Kevin Demoff '99, a former writer for The Dartmouth who also did radio for Big Green football games as an undergrad, has been named a senior assistant for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Demoff served as a consultant for the team in 2005. According to this press release, he will assist "in contract negotiations, salary cap management, scouting, strategic planning and salary cap forecasting." Demoff, who received his MBA from Tuck this year, was the Director of Football Operations for the Arena Football League’s Los Angeles Avengers for three years, during which he helped former Dartmouth quarterback Brian Mann get his pro career started. Kevin was in the stands this spring for the Green-White game so maybe that pipeline between the Ivy League and Tampa Bay on draft day will continue :-)
It was an easy-to-overlook note hidden in the education section of the Philadelphia Inquirer in a story about a massive campaign to rebuild the Schuylkill River waterfront on the edge of the University of Pennsylvania campus, but it appears UPenn, like Dartmouth, will be getting a new fieldhouse. Apparently Franklin Field may also be "boutique-ified" (to create a word) as part of the project. The story says after the long-time project is finished, "Famed Locust Walk will extend from the campus core, past the Palestra, a new fieldhouse, and a renovated Franklin Field, whose historic exterior arches will shelter shops."
Taking a step away from football, there are two very nice stories about the Dartmouth grad who is the chief of surgery and at the University of Pennsylvania’s Widener Hospital for Large Animals and the man who operated on Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro. “The only reason I became a vet is because I went to Dartmouth College,” says Dr. Dean Richardson ’74, in this alumni news story. The Philadelphia Inquirer takes a long look at Richardson and offers an interesting glimpse at the decisions that have given Barbaro a chance.
