The Cos is coming to the Palestra

The Cos will be the coup de gras for anyone who thought the 33rd Street homecoming Penn football/basketball doubleheader on Nov. 9 wouldn't be a big deal.

It was announced yesterday by Penn Athletics that Bill Cosby will give a performance at the Palestra as the "grand finale" of the evening. Based on the relatively positive reviews his standup has been getting lately, Cosby will be quite the closer for a day in which Penn field hockey will compete in the morning, football will kick off at noon, women's hoops will tip at 2 p.m., men's soccer will do battle at 4 p.m. and men's basketball will tip at 5 p.m.

This better be a sellout, because who else has basketball-related standup material like this?
