Neither (Archie) Manning, nor sons Cooper, Peyton and Eli, had any inkling of what lay ahead when they joined forces with then-Tulane coach Buddy Teevens and his assistant, Jeff Hawkins, to stage the first Manning Passing Academy for about 180 campers on Tulane's campus in the summer of 1996.Buddy Teevens is once again listed on the camp website as one of two associate directors of the camp along with Jeff Hawkins. Teevens' schoolboy friend, "Hawk" worked for him for a short while at Dartmouth and is now at Oregon.
Of Teevens, the MPA site says:
At the Manning Passing Academy, coach Teevens oversees all aspects of the on-field operation and coaching staff.Dartmouth assistants Mike Hodgson and Joe Scola and former Big Green receiving great David Shula are listed as "Anticipated 2009 Coaches," for the camp. No other Ivy League coaches are listed. Among the other coaches expected to attend is former Dartmouth assistant KiJuan Ware, now at Miami University.
Tentative Dartmouth junior varsity schedule for 2009:
Sun., Sept. 20 vs. Middlebury 1 p.m.
Sun., Sept. 27 vs. Vermont 1 p.m.
Fri., Oct. 30 at Harvard 2 p.m.
Sun., Nov. 8 vs. Bridgton noon
Cornell sports information has debuted its 2009 Cornell Football Information Center, a clearinghouse for info on next year's Big Red.
The Daily Pennsylvanian has an open letter to new Ivy League executive director Robin Harris, encouraging her to maintain the status quo that has the Ivy League the only conference in the country without a postseason basketball tournament, but to allow the league to go to the NCAA football playoffs. Green Alert Take: The football prohibition is patently unfair and Harris has to recognize that. But I also think it's unfair to hold most of the rest of the Ivy League basketball teams hostage while vainly searching for that long-awaited upset of a higher seed by the regular-season Ivy champion each March. Waiting for Godot, anyone?
