Wikipedia has been in the news a lot lately, in no small part because Middlebury College has banned the collaborative online encyclopedia as a source. That's a good idea, but shouldn't be be necessary. I mean, students at schools like Midd (and Penn, which also banned it) really should know better than to use Wikipedia for anything more than backgrounding themselves on a topic and digging up reliable sources.
So what am I going to do now? Why, steer you to Wikipedia, of course.
I was on the site one day and thought to see what it had to say about Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens. You can find his page here. There's nothing new there to those of us who have followed his career, but it's actually a pretty concise accounting of the who, what and where. Wikipedia has a page on Dartmouth's Memorial Field, a "stub" on Brian Mann that mentions his movie career, a longer piece on Jay Fiedler, a surprisingly short piece on Reggie Williams and tons more. Ah, but you have work to do and so do I so let's move on. ;-)
The official Ivy League web site has a mention of the two documentaries being prepared on Ivy football with links to their trailers.
A former Dartmouth gridder has made sports headlines, but not for football. This story notes that Jon Nistad '70 and his son enjoyed a strong finish in the open division of the father-son doubles at the USTA National Indoor Championship. Nistad, 59, and son Jay, 29, finished one win short of the fifth-place match in the event held in New Jersey. Nistad lettered in football at Dartmouth in 1967 and 1969.
Some of the challenges Brown will face in spring football are shared in this Providence Journal story that also discusses spring drills at Rhode Island and Bryant.
Penn State coach Joe Paterno briefly noted Brown's futility against Yale during his playing days after learning at a National Football Foundation dinner that one of the honorees had been recruited to play quarterback in New Haven. The story is here.
