From Jimmy Golen's story on the Associated Press wire about Tim Murphy stepping down as Harvard head coach (LINK):

Murphy, 67, said another factor in his decision was the death of Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens, whom he described as his best friend since they were growing up playing Little League baseball together. Teevens died in September from injuries he sustained in a March bicycle crash.

“We talked a long time ago when we both became young head coaches at a fairly young age, that we would go out together,” Murphy said on a conference call Thursday. “We still talked about it, X amount of years later. The combination thereof, it was just the right time.”

EXTRA POINT
When I came out of our little post office and started my car yesterday a message flashed on the dashboard reading, "Ice Possible Drive With Care."

It was 14 degrees and all but the last 30 yards of the drive to the post office had been on a dirt road that had been plowed but was still covered with hard-packed snow.

Ice possible? Yeah, you might say that. ;-)
