33rd Street Homecoming Football/Basketball Doubleheader

Nov. 9 will be a busy day on 33rd Street.

Not only will Penn football square off with Princeton at noon at Franklin Field, but, per DP alum Jonathan Tannenwald of Philly.com, Fran Dunphy's Owls will start their 2013-14 campaign at the Palestra in what will be the Quakers' earliest regular season game since...last year, when Penn tipped off its season against UMBC, also on Nov. 9.

But Penn basketball has never started a season before Nov. 9, and although Penn's schedule isn't nearly confirmed yet, it's highly likely that the Quakers' matchup with Temple will be their season opener as well.

The Temple matchup also falls on homecoming weekend for Penn, a weekend that doesn't normally include basketball.

Penn has never opened its season against the Owls, but Temple has been the second game on the Quakers' schedule several times. The last two games in this scenario both went to overtime (a 73-67 loss for Penn on Nov. 14, 2011 and a 73-70 win for Penn on Nov. 23, 1998).
