Dete Claims Class of 1948 Award

Dartmouth linebacker and tri-captain Andrew Dete has been awarded the Class of 1948 Scholar-Athlete Award, presented annually "to one male and one female of the junior class, who have combined outstanding performance in athletics and significant achievement in academics."

Dete has a 3.78 grade point average in economics and posted 34 tackles last fall. Find a link to the Dartmouth release here.

The Blog has tossed up links to a play centered on the play Good Boys and True in the past. The play features a fictional Dartmouth football recruit and "a sex tape circulating among the jocks at an elite boys’ school near Washington," back in 1988. The New York Times gives it a less-than-glowing review.

The Austin American-Statesman has a piece about Bucky Godbolt, a former graduate assistant coach at Dartmouth (1980 season) who went on to coach at Boston College, Illinois and Texas, and is now a radio personality in Texas. Find his website here. Godbolt, the story says, recruited Ricky Williams to Texas.

The Daily Gazette in Schenectady, N.Y., writes about Yale coach Jack Siedlecki's upcoming trip to the Middle East.
