It's rare for the Penn-Princeton matchup to have no Ivy title implications. That said, both teams still have pride on the line: the Quakers (9-21, 6-7 Ivy) are looking to salvage a disappointing season by improving to a .500 record in conference play, while the Tigers (16-11, 9-4) will try to bounce back after suffering defeats on the road against Yale and Brown that ended their Ancient Eight championship hopes. When the two teams meet for what ESPN calls one of the greatest rivalries in college basketball Tuesday night at the Palestra, who will be up and who will be down for Penn basketball?

I stopped by the Palestra today to check in with freshman Darien Nelson-Henry and his knee injury. During Friday's game against Yale, he injured his left knee in the first half and returned for limited action in the second. Saturday against Brown, Nelson-Henry was bandaged and ready to play, but didn't see any game action.

Yesterday we reported that a highly reputable source told the Daily Pennsylvanian that Miles Cartwright, Henry Brooks, Tony Hicks, Darien Nelson-Henry and Steve Rennard were all suspended for Penn basketball’s game at Delaware on Dec. 21 after failing random drug tests. Now the Daily Pennsylvanian is hearing from various sources that alcohol may have played a role in the suspensions. Our original sources, though, maintain that positive drug tests triggered the suspensions.

Yesterday, seniors got the low down on their role in Hey Day 2010. But, Hey Day is really all about the junior class, after all. Here's a quick breakdown of what's going for the Class of 2011 on this Penn-tastic day.

What happens when geeky tech-savvy students organize an (inherently geeky) scavenger hunt? You'd probably get this week's Venmo Geo Hunt, hosted by the Interactive Media Group. The week-long scavenger hunt starts today and contestants can win up to 200 bucks by participating. You'll have to sign up for two cell phone services, SCVNGR and Venmo, to participate. Fortunately, it doesn't cost anything and Venmo (started by Penn alums) is actually pretty legit and useful; you can pay back friends and even food trucks (Don Memo's, Coup de Taco) via text message. Awesome! Cash sucks. Sign up for the hunt here. So go ahead, cast that social network into the world of new media.

We could sense Qdoba was getting a little desperate after last year's opening of burrito rival, Chipotle. Now, with BBP in the mix, desperate times are calling for desperate measures. Still, our drunken taste buds welcome you, subpar Qdoba burrito. Now, if only these guys were open until 2:30 AM.

Mayor Nutter is making the Census an excuse for a little personal homecoming. The city's head honcho is going to be at his old College House, Riepe, at 4:30 to get students pumped about the Census.

In anticipation of May flowers, campus soil has been sprinkled with a fresh heap of fertilizers this week. And with temperatures expected to flirt with 90 degrees today, we're anticipating a full-blown aromatic disaster. This morning, we spotted University staff piling on the stanky stuff along Benjamin Franklin's Way. We appreciate these pooper scoopers' work to keep campus looking real pretty. But, couldn't you have waited until the (much more temperate) weekend?! This seems backwards.

Bobby's Burger Palace is scheduled to open in the Radian tomorrow. Meanwhile, the Burger Palace's namesake, Bobby Flay, was spotted on site today--training his restaurant staff. Flay, the long-time host of Food Network shows, has also been spotted grilling with Barack, disrespecting Iron Chefs, and throwing it down. Stay tuned for a UTB taste test of Bobby's burgers later this week; in the meantime, swing by the Palace today and sneak a peak at the middle-aged, freckled celeb-chef.

We found this sign backstage at Irvine Auditorium. Although we hear asbestos curtains were a pretty common way to protect audience members in the case of a fire on stage, that was before they found this out. So, Irvine, we hope you get your safety standards up to date; they're doing your 22nd largest organ in the world status an injustice.

This bottomless pit outside of Rodin worries us. Talk about a caution fail.

It's no secret that we can be a little hard on Wharton. All that talk about soul-selling and back-stabbing very well might be unfounded. Now, Whartonites are out to prove us wrong. Today's Undergraduate Social Impact Conference is the first step. The conference, titled "Addressing the Skeptics," is part of a string of we-got-souls projects coming out of Wharton these days. This morning's keynote speaker is Chris Anderson, the curator of TED.com. If you haven't watched some of Anderson's "TED Talks," we suggest you drop everything and do some learnin'. Here's to putting the "soul" back in "Wharton." Wait, what?

So, basketball didn't work out this year, but Penn beat Princeton where it hurts: the money game. According to Philly.com, Penn has more billionaires on Forbes list of the world's 1,000+ billionaires. With at least 25 billion-izz-aires with ties to Penn, the Quakers handily top the Tiger's nine. The list includes some notables: the world's 3rd richest man (Warren Buffett), a Quadrangle namesake (Ronald Perelman), and a casino mogul (Steve Wynn). The list also includes some not-so-notables, including supermarket heir Charles Butt. Mr. Butt, we're glad you fell into foodstuff fortune, because we're not sure if success was otherwise playing in your favor.

Gym rats, rejoice. If free BODYCOMBAT doesn't get you going, we're not sure what does. For the rest of us, the timing of this free workout session is prime--especially considering how many calories will likely be consumed today.

After the last Penn alum with political hopes decided to step out of contention, we were feeling a litlle down. Luckily, Wes Mullen (C'04) stepped up to the plate.

Yesterday, we learned that ECAASU (East Coast Asian American Student Union) was hosting its annual conference at Penn this year. Read: 1,000+ students descending on Penn's campus for a mega Asian American fest. While most of us are long gone by now (which makes us wonder why ECAASU chose this weekend), the conference is sure to please those of us who are sticking around.

The latest Penn-related website to jump on the social networking bandwagon launched on Monday-- and it's called PennLaunch. It's a searchable database for Penn students, staff, and faculty to advertise their skills and find groups and/or projects to join.
