Didn't Vote Early? Then Vote Often

The virtual ballot box for Hero national defensive player of the year closes tomorrow. That means it is the final chance to vote for Dartmouth corner Isiah Swann with his nation's best nine pass interceptions, 18 passes defended and 44 tackles. CLICK HERE to vote.
What a difference one play makes!

Princeton's Bob Surace finished seventh in voting for the FCS national coach of the year after leading the Tigers to a 10-0 record. Dartmouth's Buddy Teevens, whose team was one play away from going 10-0 only to fall at Princeton, 14-9, was not a finalist.

Dan Hawkins of UC Davis won the award. Of interest, Colgate's Dan Hunt was third, Maine's Joe Harasymiak was sixth and old friend Roger Hughes of Stetson was 12th. (LINK)
Speaking of old friends, Donnie Brooks, a familiar name to many Dartmouth football players for his work in the Big Green athletic administration, has been named athletic director at Macalester College in Minnesota. He had been AD at Millsaps in Mississippi for the past couple of years. (LINK)
