Freshmen actually camping out for the line

They say there's no school spirit at Penn. Apparently three freshmen didn't get the memo.

Jake Albano, Jordan Holmes and Michael Pintauro are camping out on College Green in a less-than-three-man tent, hoping to be first in The Line Friday for men's basketball season tickets. It hasn't been since the pre-Jerome Allen years (as a player) that students actually camped outside the Palestra to get tickets. These three young fans want to change that. They've been mistaken for Occupy Philly protesters. They've been on an all-McDonalds and Insomnia Cookies diet. They're a little bit concerned for their safety. All in the name of Penn Basketball.

My colleague Brian Kotloff and I braved the cold tonight to see what these gentlemen were all about:
