Yesterday's call for questions for Buddy Teevens was a little more productive than the first. I'm hoping to run the Q&A with the Big Green head coach on Monday so if you have questions you'd like me to ask of Coach Teevens, it's not too late. Email them to BGA by CLICKING HERE. That will address an email with the subject line, QuestionsForCoach. If that link doesn't work for you, just send me an email with the subject line QuestionsForCoach using the address most of you already have, or use the contact form over there to the right. Thanks!

Credit alert eyes (or perhaps having too much time on his hands), but a loyal reader was scanning a release about incoming women's lacrosse players and spotted a couple of names he knew. Here are the bios. Italics are mine (LINK):
MEGAN LYNCH
Midfield/Defense
Bethesda, Md. | Connelly School of the Holy Child
Her father Tom Lynch '93 was a member of the Dartmouth football team.
And . . .
BELLA GODSICK
Midfield
Hunting Valley, Ohio | Hathaway Brown School
Her father Tony Godsick '93 was a four-year member of the football team and was classmates with Meghan Lynch's father Tony.
Tom Lynch was a 5-foot-11, 208-pound linebacker from Great Falls, Va./Gonzaga College High School, while Godsick was a 6-foot-, 205-pound linebacker from New York City/Riverdale Country School.
Bella Godsick, by the way, is also the daughter of Mary Joe Fernandez, former world No. 4 tennis pro and Olympic medalist. Tony Godsick is a sport agent who represents Roger Federer and Coco Gauff.

The Dartmouth has a story under the headline, Former Dartmouth football coaches Callie Brownson and Jennifer King make NFL history that features comments from King, Big Green receiver Drew Estrada and coach Buddy Teevens. (LINK)

A slightly different take on a Dartmouth classic for your morning/day:
•
EXTRA POINT
A Sporting News story headlined NFL onside kick rules: Explaining the kickoff changes & why recovery percentage has tanked, has me thinking again about something I've talked to Dartmouth kickers about in the past.
You couldn't do it every time, but what about instead of trying to get an onside kick to bounce high or spin crazily you instead try to boot an absolute screamer directly into the legs or midsection of an unsuspecting member of the "hands" team and try to recover the rebound?
To that end, I might think about bringing in a soccer player who has spent his career trying to perfect the art of hitting a particular space with the ball. In this instance, of course, that space would be occupied. ;-)
