NFL Films Tells Moglia's Story


NFL Films takes on the remarkable story of former Dartmouth assistant-turned-business mogul, turned Coastal Carolina head coach Joe Moglia in this nine-minute VIDEO and does a very good job with it.
The Advertiser, a Gannett paper in Lafayette, La., writes about local product Rivers Cahee heading up to New England to prep at Taft School and gaining early admission to Dartmouth. From the STORY:
“He has good size and he runs well,” (Dartmouth coach Buddy) Teevens said. “We feel he can play running back, receiver, cornerback or safety. Right now it is kind of a tug-o-war between the coaches of which position and that’s because his skill set allows him to play a number of positions.”
Dartmouth senior wide receiver Bo Patterson is set to play in the FCS Senior Scout Bowl back home in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The roster link for the game is not working but a story about three NAIA players headed to the contest notes, "With their move to the north roster of the FCS team, the Bobcat players will be playing with players from universities such as Montana State, Dayton, Dartmouth, and Northern Colorado."

Patterson caught 30 passes for 424 yards and five touchdowns this fall. Patterson, an outfielder on the Dartmouth baseball team, caught 85 passes with 10 touchdowns during his Dartmouth career.
As for that linebacker who wrote on social media about committing to Dartmouth, yup, he was fooling around.
Go figure. A former Dartmouth tennis player living in Fort Lauderdale named Drew Dinkmeyer '04, just won $1 million dollars playing . . . wait for it . . . fantasy football. Dinkmeyer quit his finance job in 2013 to become a full-time fantasy football player. I'm not making this up. Check out the story HERE.
