A blogger for GopherIllustrated has Tweeted that Michael Warren, a 6-5, 279 defensive tackle from Providence Academy and Maple Grove, Minn., has chosen Dartmouth over a preferred walk-on spot at the University of Minnesota. Warren is a Rivals three-star player.Warren earlier told GopherHole:
With Dartmouth and Cornell, I have gotten the green flag with the admission, so if I were to apply there, I would get in.

USA Today talked with former Dartmouth defensive tackle/linebacker Adam Nelson '97 after Lance Armstrong's admission of doping. Nelson lost the Olympic gold medal in the shot put in 2004 to a Ukrainian now found to have cheated. Nelson told the paper:"This particular issue cuts very, very deep. I've lost out on an experience, emotionally and personally that I can't get back as well as the financial benefits. I have no patience, no tolerance for anyone who cries, 'It was the system, not me.'"
