President Kim Talks Football



Missed this while I was in Colorado, but the YouTube video above features new Dartmouth president Jim Yong Kim being asked about Dartmouth football on June 25, 2009 at the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston. President Kim answers the question marvelously. This is "must-see YT" for everyone, Dartmouth fans and fans of other schools as well.

Green Alert Take: Now if someone can just get him to understand how unfair it is that athletes from every Ivy League sport except football can go on to the playoffs.

Football practice for the 2009 season begins one month from today!

For the past few years Dartmouth has posted short videos of incoming freshmen on its website. Curious about how this year's seniors looked in their high school video clips? Go back and check them out here. (You can also see the 15-minute, 21-second 2005 highlight video on the same page.)

From Dartmouth's Vox newspaper:
In its September 2009 issue, Environmental Design + Construction (ED+C) magazine will recognize Floren Varsity House for its "clear commitment to green building and sustainable design."
Ever wonder what happened to the dynamic New Hampshire football duo who caused Dartmouth so many problems? Quarterback Ricky Santos and wide receiver David Ball are both in the Canadian Football League. Santos was No. 3 on the Montreal Alouettes depth chart in the season's first game behind Florida State porduct Adrian McPherson and former Florida Gator Chris Leak. Ball is on the roster of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The two teams just squared off but neither former UNH star was active. Former UNH star Étienne Boulay is the starting safety for Montreal.
