Everyone should be so lucky when their careers are over. This 9-minute video is a wonderful paean to quarterback Mike Fritz' career put together by his dad. The video reveals the first hint that Mike might be a quarterback came when he was as an infant. It continues through youth football, high school and Dartmouth football. It even shows him snowboarding and bungee jumping toward the end and concludes with family photos on campus. Well done.
This latest on Jay Fiedler suggests he might be coming home:
The Giants interest in Jay Fiedler has become an annual thing. Each of the last two offseasons they've had a bit of interest in him but nothing ever materialized. Maybe the third time will be a charm.One place Fiedler likely won't end up is Baltimore according to this note.
Columbia coach Norries Wilson was recruited by Grambling's Eddie Robinson as this story says.
The Yale Daily has an inspirational story about the return to campus of a former football player who has turned tragedy into triumph. From the story:
In 1985, the former football and lacrosse star lost his left leg when a 40,000-pound bus collided with his motorcycle. Eight years later in 1993, after he had become the world’s fastest one-legged athlete, a van crashed into MacLaren when he was competing in a triathlon.
If you are in town and want to see some football on Memorial Field (the rugby version), check out Dartmouth women's game vs. Army Saturday morning at 11.
It was 18.9 degrees when I went out to get the paper at the end of the driveway today. Our final total from the snow that drifted down off-and-on into yesterday afternoon was nine inches. Dartmouth baseball was supposed to open at home this weekend.
The Easter Bunny better be a Snow Hare this Sunday. Good thing Dartmouth didn't move those spring football drills up ;-)
