Rhyme Time

Senior corner Kevin De Regt's final Deregtory blog of the football season has been posted by the Daily Dartmouth. It's written in rhyme and this might be the best part:

The winning record was our first in 13 seasons,
As to why it took so long, I can offer only one reason.
So ponder this question over a tea, or a cold lager:
Did any of those 13 teams have a bench-warming blogger?

For leading us to six wins, I will surely be exalted,
As for the losses, how could a backup be faulted?

And last but certainly not least, a terrific effort by the Dartmouth men's soccer team before a goal in the second sudden-death overtime ended the Big Green season with a 2-1 loss at UCLA last night in the NCAA Sweet 16. Golden goal? Sorry, you won't find that hokey term here. The college press release on the story is here.
