Addressing the People

A clear, extensive message from the coach! Who knew we could expect that in the Ivies?




Head Coach Pete Mangurian's extensive blog about the spring game is just the kind of thing fans of our program have needed to see for a long time.

Like Norries Wilson, Mangurian is careful in each sentence not to sound satisfied with where the team is right now. But unlike Wilson, he provides a much more detailed description of what he sees and expects at each position. 

It's good to know that Mangurian's overall impressions are similar to our own. He felt the offense was too out of sync, the offensive line play was a concern, and the wide receiver situation is like the wild west with crowded competition.

I was a bit surprised with his concern about tight end play, especially since one of the Ivy League's best TE's - rising junior Hamilton Garner - was held out of the game for health reasons. But when you consider the fact that Mangurian wants to run an H-back style offense this fall, you can see why he wants as many options as possible.

The best thing about all of this is that Mangurian has promised us evaluations of the defense and special teams in the two days to come. 

This feels like an embarrassment of riches. 

Chelsea Janes on TV!

The more I think about it, the more I realize Yale Daily News columnist and Yale softball player Chelsea Janes isn't just a sports figure. She's really quite a courageous young woman to be so intelligently taking on the president of her university week after week.

And since so much of her case is based in finances, I've decided to book her as a guest on my show on FOX Business, Varney & Company.

Chelsea will join us this coming TUESDAY, May 1st. The show runs from 9:20am to 11am every weekday. Here's some more information about the show.

Adams Latest

Jeff Adams gets some kind words in this Sports Illustrated evaluation, but it still projects him as a free agent, not a draft pick.
