"I was a little nervous that I would come out here and embarrass myself," Fiedler said. "But I think I made a good showing."This from CBS4:
"I don't need eyes in the back of my head for this one. Everything that's hitting you is coming right in your face. That ball can come pretty hard when these guys spike it", Fiedler said.A quote in the Sun-Sentinel from his playing partner:
"These were the No. 1 seeds in the qualifier, and to get blocks like that is amazing. You can tell he is definitely a fighter. He was out there battling every second of the game even though we didn't really have a chance. He definitely had that toughness from being a quarterback."A telling Fiedler quote from the Miami Herald:
"Unfortunately, I had two surgeries on my throwing shoulder, so I don't have as much power in my spike as I probably would have a couple of years ago."Now do me a favor. Check out the video report from the CBS4 page (not the one that opens automatically, but the next one to the right) and tell me if the announcer doesn't call him Jay Feeley. I think he does.

If you go to the University of Florida and can run fast – really fast – this story says you've got a shot at a scholarship. In a PR stunt tied to spring football, the school is offering a scholarship to anyone who beats the two fastest members of the football team in a 40-yard dash. They've already had qualifying races and it doesn't seem likely that the school is going to have to pay up. Further juicing up (bad choice of words, probably) Florida's spring ball:Florida also plans to hold a raffle that will allow one fan a chance to catch a pass from (Tim) Tebow. Other winners will get to try to catch a punt, attempt a field goal and return a kickoff.Chuck Burton over at Lehigh Football Nation does an around-the-horn look at spring practice in the Patriot League. He's good a few thoughts about Dartmouth opponents Holy Cross and Colgate.
Dartmouth football wrapped up conditioning drills Wednesday at 5:45 in Leverone Field House by surprising his team with an offbeat competition that included team relay races and team obstacle course challenges. The eight teams were named after presidents of the college and distinguished alumni. Spring practice begins Monday.
The much-anticipated (by some of you, at least ;-) Q&A with coach Buddy Teevens is finally done and will be posted by lunch time on the regular Green Alert site. You will not need to be a subscriber to read Teevens' thoughts on why some recruits pick Dartmouth and others do not, how Dartmouth fares recruiting against different Ivy schools, about progress (or lack thereof) in changing the non-league schedule, about the new varsity house, financial aid changes, the status of players lost to injury last year and more.
