Dartmouth quarterback Dan Rooney '12 spent last Sunday where many Americans wished they were, at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas the site of Super Bowl XLV.
There's no getting around it. The morning after the Super Bowl ushers in one of the more brutal month-long periods of the year for sports fans.
As January quietly turned into February, the national sports scenery rapidly changed. To give you a quick update, pitchers and catchers will report to MLB spring training in under a week, and the long and arduous journey also known as the NFL season has finally come to an end (congratulations to the Packers, you now officially have four more Super Bowl titles than my poor Philadelphia Eagles). At Dartmouth, the sports scene is gradually shifting as well.

/ The Dartmouth Staff While a home crowd of family members, friends and fans provides support and comfort for competing Dartmouth athletes, road trips equally shape Big Green athletes' experiences, compelling them to bond with their teammates and otherwise acclimate to a less-than-encouraging rival environment. When teams like basketball, tennis, squash and track and field go on the road, they share experiences that help bring them together, both on and off the court. The men's basketball team generally begins its trips the day prior to the game, grabbing last-minute snacks from the Courtyard Cafe before heading onto the bus.

Imagine going to Spain to learn Spanish and suddenly finding yourself in a restaurant surrounded by nearly 100 Chinese, Korean and Japanese students. I ushered in the Chinese New Year the Year of the Rabbit with almost every Asian in Salamanca.

While many students consider Hanover home by the time they graduate, the area was already home for the student athletes who grew up in New Hampshire and Vermont and chose to attend Dartmouth due to its athletic and academic programs. Golf player Peter Williamson '12 who attended Hanover High School and lives approximately a mile from the College said that he followed Dartmouth athletics before he chose to attend, and was able to visit campus on a daily basis growing up. Williamson said he primarily wanted to come to Dartmouth for its academics, adding that he hoped to improve the College's golf team. "Dartmouth doesn't promote the best golf atmosphere," Williamson, who is currently studying in Thailand on an off-campus program, said in an e-mail to The Dartmouth.
