A day after the dismissal of UCLA's Reeves Nelson, the Quakers take on the the Bruins at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Both teams have storied pasts, but who will come out on top? Follow along and see.
According to a report in Philly.com's Jersey Side Sports, Moorestown's Andrew Lisa has verbally committed to Penn.
Two more short interviews with two more sophomores from Saturday's Red and Blue Scrimmage. As Brian noted, we got our first look at Marin Kukoc, after the swingman missed all of last season due to injury. He scored the final five points of the game to put the Blue Team ahead for good. It's not clear how good his grasp of the offense is after missing last year, but he looked like he could get in quickly and put some points on the board.
As if people needed to get hyped for the return of the NFL this week, the Eagles put together this "Heart" promo video for the season. If you look really closely you can see a few shots of the Frank from when the Eagles played there back in the day.
Wow, this is jaw-dropping news for any basketball fan in Philly. After watching NBA superstars LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, and Chris Paul put on an absolute spectacle at the Team Melo vs. Goodman exhibition this past Tuesday, Phoenix Suns forward and Philly native Hakim Warrick decided he wanted to recruit a Philly-based squad to play host against his former Syracuse teammate (Carmelo) and Melo's Baltimore crew. The site of the game? Still up in the air, but look at what Warrick said in the article:
Already the Ivy League Rookie of the Year, freshman guard Alyssa Baron picked up the local Rookie award yesterday when All-Big 5 teams were announced. She was also named first team All-Big 5. She is the second player in Penn history (after Diana Caramanico) to earn the Rookie of the Year distinction.
Question: Can La Salle’s Aaric Murray take his talents to the next level?
Today was the best day for Seniors! It all started with an e-mail from the Office of the Provost with the subject, "Was Penn all you hoped it would be? Tell us! Take the Senior Survey." Right off the bat, they baited us with a depressing use of the past tense, three different types of punctuation in one subject line, and a chance to take a critical look at our regrets from the past four years. But wait, there's more! Turns out there is a major incentive for taking this survey, which takes a whopping "less than thirty minutes." For every senior who completes it, $1 will be donated to the Seniors for the Penn Fund.
Today, 2010 College graduates received an e-mail from the Dean's Advisory Board, requesting photo submissions for a CAS Graduation slide show. All of the graduates are sure to get teary-eyed looking at pictures of their 1500 best friends in the world having four years of zany times. The DAB asks that the photos are "tasteful" and "[limited] to those of just College students since it will be shown only to parents of students graduating from the College of Arts and Sciences."
A tipster sent us this photo of a cowboy riding the wrong way down 38th St. "Hay!" we thought to ourselves. "That horse sure does look familiar." That's when we remembered that we saw this very same duo offering pony rides on Spruce during Fling last year. What's the deal? Someone grab a lasso and get us some answers.
There's really no better way to find out what the world has cared about for the past 12 months than by perusing Google's Year-End Zeitgeist, an examination of 2009's most popular and fastest rising search terms.
If you're stuck in a windowless study spot like some people we know photographed, you might be totally oblivious to the fact that it is snowing right now. Snowing a TON. We're about to don our mittens and head out to bring you some photos from campus, so check back soon.
This was the view from under the Button this morning (Don't even ask why we were there. Okay you got us. We were taking this picture!) before the library opened at 10:00 a.m. Maybe the early bird gets the best study carrel, but come on. It's a Saturday!
This is worrisome!
Righteous Dopefiend - a new exhibit at the Penn Museum that interweaves photographs, recorded conversations, and fieldwork notes - opens tomorrow. Here's the description, courtesy of the Museum website: Anthropologist Philippe Bourgois and photographer-ethnographer Jeff Schonberg document the daily lives of homeless drug users, drawing upon more than a decade of fieldwork they conducted among a community of heroin injectors and crack smokers who survive on the streets of San Francisco’s former industrial neighborhoods. We recommend heading downtown for First Friday tonight, then checking this out tomorrow. It's the perfect Arts and the City-inspired weekend!
Stop by Houston Hall (Wynn Commons) from 11:00 a.m. (a little bit before right now) to 3 p.m. for SPEC Special Event's Annual Winterfest. Hub Bub is handing out free coffee and hot chocolate, there's a synthetic ice skating rink with skates available to rent (we've received word from a Street ed on the ground that it "looks dumb"), and s'mores.
Rumor has it Iron Chef Bobby Flay is bringing Bobby's Burger Palace to Penn. Grub Street reports:
We're pretty shameless when it comes to like-liking The Excelano Project's Josh Bennett. When we made him Ego of the Week last fall, he probably thought to himself, "Wow! Me! Ego of the Week! Today I am as famous as I will ever be." Turns out he was wrong, because he ended up on Under the Button like, at least four times after that! There were also mumblings about him being featured in HBO's Brave New Voices and on The Daily Show (crush on Penn, much, Jon?), and performing at the White House and the NAACP Image Awards. But wow, four times! What is he, the cupcake truck?
