Up Close With BT

The Dartmouth has a Q&A with Big Green football coach Buddy Teevens in which he muses about his playing career at a two-sport athlete at the college (football and hockey), his three months studying abroad as a Dartmouth student, getting his start in coaching while serving as a fraternity chef at Depauw, and the movement away from tackling in practice. Along the way he freely admits he didn't fully appreciate what he had in his first go-around as the Dartmouth head coach.

Safe travels to Mrs. BGA who is leaving us to fend for ourselves for a few days as she heads to the American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions meeting in Chicago. Hopefully we'll survive until she returns on Tuesday ;-)
