Wonderful Wearers Of The Green

Came across this oldie-but-goodie a couple of weeks ago, and I thought you’d enjoy it:


Editor’s note: I had to swallow hard calling this an oldie because I was working in the college's sports information when Barry Braverman ’76 made this film. The opening scene on the river, and the end on the mountaintop, really say Dartmouth. And it’s great to hear former Big Green Athletic Director Seaver Peters’ voice one more time.

EXTRA POINT

That Certain Nittany Lion 16 often rues that so many legendary accomplishments in the world of sports took place before he was born. Thats one of the reasons why I encouraged him not to switch away from yesterdays French Open final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Sean Gregory, the former Princeton basketball player who now writes for Time magazine, called the match “one of the best duels in the history of tennis,” and he’s not wrong. Find Gregory’s story HERE.
