Imagine for a second that Buddy Teevens left Dartmouth to coach at, say, Harvard. Now imagine that right about the same time his best player decided to transfer to, say, Harvard. What would happen and how would it look?
If you are wondering, read this story in the Daily Pennsylvanian along with this column. No, it's not about Teevens and Dartmouth. Nothing to worry about there, folks. It's about the best men's basketball player at Brown, who wanted to transfer to Penn, where former Brown coach Glen Miller is the new head coach. The whole thing smelled kind of bad when I first heard about it through channels, but now that the kid's transfer application has been denied and the "adults" are trying to explain what happened, it smells even worse.
Former Dartmouth longsnapper and lacrosse player Ryan Danehy '06 is finding a welcome home playing major league lax and coaching the game in Chicago according to this story.
Dartmouth gets a mention in this USA Today story for helping test out helmet sensing technology along with Oklahoma and Virginia Tech. It helps, of course, that the company which developed the Head Impact Telemetry System is located in Lebanon.
He's called the most powerful man in college football and he's a Dartmouth alum. Who is he? Find out here.
Down in Philly the Daily P is blaming the lack of preseason award nominees on last year's "underachieving" season. Read about it here. (The story includes a mention of quarterback Josh Cohen being out of Dartmouth for two terms.)
Those of you with some institutional memory will laugh or cry at the news that the Chariot Races are making a return to Dartmouth as part of Fieldstock, a dry-land substitute for Tubestock. Here's a guess: If the weather is hot on Fieldstock day, there might be more people in the Connecticut that on the Green and the Bema that afternoon. Just a guess, of course.
