Veteran College Football Coach Hospitalized After Biking Accident

Long-time college football coach Buddy Teevens suffered an accident over the weekend

Veteran college football coach Eugene "Buddy" Teevens was hospitalized after suffering a bicycle accident this week.

The winningest coach in Dartmouth history was riding his bicycle in St. Augustine, Fla., where he was involved in a collision.

In a statement, Dartmouth said the Teevens family was not accepting visitors.

"Out of respect for the family, updates on Teevens' condition will be made available in accordance with their wishes," the school said.

Teevens, 66, played quarterback for Dartmouth in the late 1970s and was named Ivy League Player of the Year for the 1978 season.

He has coached at the college ranks for over 30 years, including 23 seasons at the helm of the Dartmouth football program.

Teevens is 117-101-2 at Dartmouth, including 83-70-1 in Ivy League games.

In his career, the Pembroke, Mass., native is 151-178-2 as a head coach with stops at Maine, Tulane, Stanford, and two tenures at his alma mater.

The Ivy League responded to the news, wishing Teevens well.

"The entire Ivy League community is thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery to full health, Coach Teevens," the conference said.
