Dartmouth Alumni Magazine reprises a lengthy story in which Robert Sullivan '75 explains why he prefers Green to Crimson HERE.

A former Sports Illustrated writer, Sullivan is author of Our Red Sox: A Story of Family, Friends, and Fenway.

Never mind what he is doing between the lines at Colorado. Shane Cokes '23 is a credit to Dartmouth off the field as well. Here's another reason why the grad transfer wears the "L" for Leader on his Colorado uniform this fall:

EXTRA POINT
It is something Mrs. BGA and I regularly comment on when we are on road trips. Why in the world would someone spending $50K, $60K, $70K on a car have a brain cramp and decide to buy it in that seriously ugly color? On the other hand, there's no accounting for taste. If you are of a certain again you may remember that Harvest Gold, Avocado Green, Teal and Cocoa appliances once dominated kitchens. Let's hope the car colors wear a little more gracefully than those ranges and dishwashers and fridges.
