 "(N)ominated and voted on by the captains of the men's teams. It is given to a member of a men's team showing the extra-curricular and scholastic drive, spirit, loyalty and amiability which made Tim such a well-known part of this community."

Lemieux shares the award with Brandon Mitchell-Day of the men's basketball team.

HERO Sports takes a spring look at the South Dakota football team HERE. Why does would that show up in this electronic precinct? From the column:

The Yotes have a healthy QB competition between a veteran who knows the system, a promising young prospect, and a transfer with FCS starting experience.

That quarterback with FCS starting experience is Dartmouth grad Jackson Proctor, giving it a final shot at the FCS level after spending the preseason and appearing in one game last fall at FBS Northern Illinois. Find his Dartmouth bio HERE and his South Dakota bio HERE.

In his only appearance with NIU last fall, Proctor completed 2-of-6 passes for eight yards and ran twice for 13 yards.

EXTRA POINT
My MacBook Air has Touch ID that allows me to sign onto the machine with my fingerprint. Being left-handed, I naturally set it up to work with the index finger of my left hand.

Yesterday I was working on a project that required me to use fast-drying super glue and for the fine details I used my left hand. You've probably already figured out where this is going.

Yup, I got glue all over the bottom of my index finger and when I went to sign onto the computer, the reader basically told me thanks, but no thanks.

It wasn't a disaster, of course, because I could just type in my password to get the Mac going again.

A visit to the Apple website informed me that I can save up to three fingerprints in the machine so in the unlikely event I ever glue up my left index finger and mix up my passwords, I'm going to enroll a finger on my right hand in the program.

It’s nice to know my biggest security vulnerability is me. And a tube of super glue.
