One That Got Away

From the What Might Have Been department... The Associated Press writes about New Orleans Saints linebacker Scott Fujita, who went to Cal but had the chance to play at Dartmouth or Columbia. He was a fifth-round pick in the 2002 draft and went on to play with the Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys before moving on to the Saints.

Speaking of Columbia, congratulations to Roar Lions Roar editor/writer Jake Novak, who has landed the color commentator position for Columbia radio broadcasts this fall. ... Oh, and still speaking of radio, a couple of us have talked generally about trying to start up a Dartmouth football podcast. What we really need is a 16-year-old kid with a computer and an interest in football to get us started ;-) ...

Back on the subject of Columbia, former Lion standout Marcellus Wiley is without a contract and might be headed for retirement. That doesn't necessarily mean he's slowing down, as this SI.com story notes.

Off the fields (and onto the water) the Daily Dartmouth reports on an idea floated to possibly hold Tubestock on Storrs Pond in Hanover. The idea was nixed.
