Happy Super Bowl Day ;-)
Harvey Frommer, who does some teaching at Dartmouth, has a new book When It Was Just A Game: Remembering The First Super Bowl.

With a handful of graduating Dartmouth seniors having NFL dreams one site I came across has a Dartmouth player pegged for one of today's Super Bowl teams.That would be DraftSite, which sees the Denver Broncos using their sixth-round selection to choose Dartmouth defensive tackle AJ Zuttah with the 219th overall pick. (LINK) It's as speculative as speculative can be, but on this Sunday it's fun stuff.
