Ryan Danehy '06 earned three letters as a Dartmouth longsnapper but his raison d'etre at Dartmouth was lacrosse. A four-year letter winner as an attackman, Danehy played pro lax with the Chicago Machine and the Boston Cannons and also served as a Dartmouth assistant coach for six years.

Danehy, who went on to serve as offensive coordinator at the University of Michigan, is now national director of methodology for 3d Lacrosse. Find his 3d bio HERE.

And finally, what to make of this defensive poster down at Sacred Heart? (Click to enlarge it.) Apart from a small subject-verb disagreement, the reference to a "moose in deep snows" hits pretty close to home given that the Pioneers will be playing at Dartmouth on Sept. 26. Doubtful it was directed at the Big Green but don't be surprised if this ends up on Dartmouth lockers that week.
