These things have to go through the proper channels before they can be made official and now it is. Read the Dartmouth release on the hiring of David Shula as Dartmouth's new wide receivers coach HERE. (Apologies for leaving you hanging last week after I learned that this was likely to happen, but I didn't want do do anything to potentially cause things to fall apart.)
Shula was a member of BGA's unofficial 50 Years Of Ivy All-Dartmouth Team chosen after the 2005 season. Posted below is the team we named back in 2005. It's not the first time it's been on BGA Daily but this is as good a time as any to reprise it. Look for the defensive team tomorrow.
Green Alert Take: Shula probably deserves an asterisk after his name because if more than one wide receiver had been named he would have been chosen to the first team. Thinking back about selecting the team I suppose it's curious that we went with three running backs and just one wide receiver.
