(I)f an athlete believes something is important — no matter how trivial it might seem to anyone else — then it is important. Period.
So why mention that here? Because of this bit from the piece:
Carrier’s eyes were opened to the power of fashion when his son, Jon Marc Carrier, made recruiting visits in 2012. Jon Marc was going to play wideout in the Ivy League, where considerations usually go way beyond the football field. He chose Dartmouth over Brown.
“I asked him why, and he said ‘Because they wear Nike shoes,’” Marc Carrier said, shaking his head. “The other one wore some other shoe. ‘I cannot wear those other brands.’ He picked his college education based on Nikes. How these guys look and dress gets more and more important to them.”
Green Alert Take: Perhaps Mark Carrier was exaggerating but maybe not. I interviewed a Dartmouth basketball player in the late 1980s and when I asked him his final two schools in the recruiting process, he said they were Dartmouth and Brown. When I asked him why he chose Dartmouth he said he could never see himself wearing one of those "ugly" Brown uniforms.

EXTRA POINT
In our old house on the shoulder of Hanover's Moose Mountain we had wide pine floorboards with square-headed nails. I guess the idea was to give the floor a dated look. The problem was the gap between the boards was wider than with regular hardwood floors. Invariably, fallen needles from our Christmas tree would lodge themselves in the cracks – and taunt me as I tried to clean them up after the holidays. It might be July before I got the last of them up, although to be perfectly honest, there are probably still some embedded between the boards five Christmases after we moved.
I bring that up because thanks to a Dyson vac, a powerful hand vac, a wet index finger dapping the outliers and no gaps between the floorboards, I think most of this year's needles have been cleaned up. Victory!
