Promoting Penn

 

Three main things surprised me while watching The Palestra: Cathedral of Basketball on ESPN Classic a few days ago.

  • The Palestra took only seven months to build in 1927

  • Each of the Big 5 teams agreed to play a minimum 10 games there

  • And finally, that Penn got its act together and played three thirty-second spots advertising the school. I didn't expect much from them, but they were actually pretty sweet. The one with a voiceover from NBC reporter Andrea Mitchell was good, the one with John Legend was great and one talking about John Heisman I thought was awesome.
