The Dartmouth has a story headlined New Teevens Center honors the past by building the future that includes these thoughts from Dartmouth quarterback Grayson Saunier and coach Sammy McCorkle (LINK):
Saunier:
“We’re super excited to honor Coach Teevens and to carry out his legacy through this center.” … Coach Teevens was “a phenomenal leader of our team and a lot of our values and morals today have been set in a foundation from him.”
“Being an Ivy League student and competing at the highest level of college athletics is no joke. It’s full throttle all four years. But, having resources like the Teevens Center coming up will help us take that next step as student-athletes and we’re super pumped about it.”
McCorkle:
“Buddy was a humble, modest guy. He did not do things because he wanted to be ‘the guy’; it was because he wanted to help individuals and I think that’s exactly what the center is all about. It signifies who he was as a person and what he was able to develop in our football program.”
“We’re very fortunate to be able to utilize opportunities like these. It’s all about having that edge, and … developing leadership, developing team unity…. the fact that our athletic department is providing these different ways to learn leadership, like the DRIVE program, is huge for the success of our athletic programs.”

EXTRA POINT
Should have shared this yesterday on World Ranger Day:
That Certain Dartmouth ’14 has been away from her office at Bryce Canyon National Park serving as a public information officer at the White Sage Fire on the Kaibab Plateau north of Grand Canyon. It’s her second posting this fire season, and may not be her last.
