From the Archives: Maloney, Allen and the 1992-93 Quakers

I wrote a piece for today's DP about the soon-to-be newest Quaker in the Big 5 Hall of Fame, Matt Maloney.

I couldn't get a hold of the former star guard, so I turned to the DP archives to find out what I could. Then I stumbled on this gem from the DP's November 1992 basketball preview issue:

There's Jerome Allen, whose favorite song was Long After the Love [Has Lost it's Shine], loved the Eagles and fried chicken, and predicted in 10 years he would be "teaching in Philly schools." It took more like 15 years, but he is in many ways a teacher at a school in Philly.

Beside him is Matt "Money" Maloney, the U2-phile, and Eric "Bean" Moore, and Shawn "Stretch" Trice, who predicted he'd be far from Philadelphia in 10 years. Sorry Shawn, but that assistant coaching gig at Temple is getting in the way of your dreams!

See the full roster spread after the jump if you care to know what other bad R&B songs the Quakers used to listen to on their walkmen.
