Mannings Honor Buddy Teevens

From Twitter:

Dartmouth quarterback Nick Howard, who has a terrific way of always saying the right thing, talks about his return to the Manning Passing Academy and how the Big Green is continuing to embrace the culture created by head Coach Buddy Teevens during his absence:


Archie Manning talks about Teevens role in the start of the Manning Passing Academy and his ongoing presence:

A Flo sports posting headlined New Hampshire Football Schedule 2023: What To Know has a quick synopsis of the Wildcats and reminds us that the game, like all home UNH games, will be streamed on the Flo platform. (LINK)

EXTRA POINT
Another day jumping off the Interstate to see a little more of the country. Our first stop honored my Danish heritage in Elk Horn, Iowa. We checked out a Danish windmill and then visited the Danish museum. That Certain Mother BGA, who was born and raised in Copenhagen, would have loved it.


A little later it was 25-plus miles on the White Pole Scenic Byway for a taste of cross country travel before the Interstates. The road stretches from Provincetown on Cape Cod to Bishop, Calif.

Next game a side trip to the largest wooden nickel in the world, followed by a stop at the Iowa 80 Truckstop, the self-professed largest in the world. We stopped at a lot of these places when I worked for Bekins Moving & Storage between college and grad school . . . but none quite like this!

We capped the day by pitching our tent at a campground in western Illinois that is hosting a vintage travel trailer weekend. On display are some wonderful old units brought back to life by some very handy and proud people. I'd love to peek inside all of 'em. ;-)
