Coaching With Grace

Back on Feb. 11 this site reported on Dartmouth quality control assistant Mickey Grace being featured on Earnin' It, the Peacock network series looking at women in the NFL. That posting included video of Grace at Dartmouth practice with comments from several players. (LINK)

The next trailer for Earnin' It with Grace is fashioned around the end of last fall's nailbiter against Yale with Brett Franklin's excited call in the background. Check it out here:

Kinda wish I had known about this beforehand. Oh well.


Green Alert Take: The bottom line caption might have been a little more specific, don't you think? "Coach Buddy Teevens 78 has won national recognition for some of his coaching methods."

EXTRA POINT
I totally get that climate change is involved but it still was a promising sign of what's to come when I looked out the window here at BGA World Headquarters this morning and spotted several dozen familiarly shaped birds foraging in our field. I pulled out the binoculars to make certain and yup, they were robins. After confirming what I thought, I went to a window out back and spotted several more robins pecking at the few wrinkled apples still clinging to our trees.

I've read that more and more robins are wintering in these parts but that doesn't take anything away from the warm feeling that comes with seeing them for the first time. We're not done with snow and there will be days ahead with the temperature in single digits and lower, but on sunny days our dirt roads are now turning to mud, the sun is rising earlier each morning and setting later each day, our neighbor will be heading across the bottom of our land and into his sugar bush any day now, and Dartmouth lacrosse teams have already opened their seasons. Spring, glorious spring, is on its way.
