Breathe easy, your friends at 34th Street are back with the first issue of the year of what in our admittedly very biased opinion is the best magazine on campus. Check it out in print or online!
Welcome to the first installment of our book club, in which we indulge the fantasy that people on this campus actually have time for pleasure reading! New book club selections will be posted sporadically, or maybe never again--it depends on whether we finish any other books this semester.
After spending half an hour (and $56.30!) in Steiny-D's cavernous bottom floor, your trusty blogger can't help but ask that eternal question: What sucks more, actually spending money on bulkpacks or having to print out all that crap yourself?
Welcome to UnderTheButton.com, 34th Street's new blog. For our inagural post, we shall attempt to say something meaningful about our generation vis-a-vis a recap of the MTV Video Music Awards.
Building on David's last post, so far six Ivy League teams have released their Men's Basketball schedules. These are Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Princeton and Yale, leaving Harvard and of course Penn as the two that have yet to disclose their schedules. To further add to David's post, the February 7th and March 6th Penn games against Cornell are confirmed, as are the two Princeton games. However there's a big change. Normally, the Tigers visit the Palestra on a Tuesday in mid February, and Penn visits Jadwin on the Tuesday of Spring Break. But according to the Princeton site, it's reversed. Princeton hosts Penn Feb. 17th, and travels to Philadelphia March 10.
St. LOUIS -- Welcome to the nightcap of day two here at the NCAA Wrestling Championships from Scottrade Center. Only two Penn wrestlers remain, sophomore No. 9 Rollie Peterkin (125 pounds) and junior Zack Shanaman (165). Both need a win in their first bout to earn All-American status. Peterkin faces No. 10 James Nicholson of Old Dominion and Shanaman No. 5 Stephen Dwyer.
Giant Killer?
To start off, I believe that as a Penn fan you have to root for Cornell.
As of 9:30 p.m. tonight, by my count, there are thirteen teams with tickets to the Tournament who have RPIs worse than Cornell. And there are a couple of close calls that can go either way. That means that the Big Red's chances of grabbing a 13-seed look good; they would need 13 teams to be placed below them.
To my surprise, the Drexel men's lacrosse team added a third color to its uniforms, donning neon green laces. This would look ridiculous, but neon green (not to be confused with neon yellow) is a pretty sweet color.
I caught the first hour or so of practice today, and though Glen Miller refused to do an interview, here is what I saw and can report.
Final: Columbia 74, Penn 58
A couple out-of-towners asked about the ejections last night. Here's what I saw: Justin Reilly and Harvard's Evan Harris got tangled up after a rebound and fell over, almost comically. Reilly and Harris got up visibly heated, Andreas Schreiber took to the court, Brennan Votel went out to restrain Schreiber, and the scene quickly quieted down.
Just finished watching the Blue-bloods beat the Cherry and White easily at the Wachovia Center. No surprise there. The Dukies had plenty of help (from the guys who are supposed to be colorblind). Enough to build a 16-point lead before the refs realized, hey, we should give Temple a few non-calls to make this thing exciting. Alas, as always seems to happen, the officials righted their ship too late to save the integrity of the evening.
Not much good to say about this game, other than Bernardini's shooting clinic and some improved decision-making on Gaines' part in the second half. Reilly put up a solid 12 points, but grabbed only three boards in 26 minutes; a pathetic number for a forward.
Many preseason tournaments are played at a neutral site, and for Penn, the Philly Hoops Classic at the Palestra was no exception.
FINAL: Virginia 100, Penn 85
You only get a certain amount of room in the newspaper, so here is the parts of my interview that didn't make it into my article about Gil Jackson only playing Penn after Dunphy and company left.
I wasn't at the 89-68 thrashing the Quakers took in Baltimore to Loyola on Sunday afternoon, so all I can go by is the live blog and the boxscore, but here are some interesting things to note from Game 2: The Quakers shot 59 percent from two-point range (17 for 29) and 17 percent from three-point range (4 for 23). For the season, they are 46 percent from two and 20 percent from three. Aron Cohen hit 4 of 8 from downtown against Drexel, and yet missed all of his five attempts from behind the stripe against Loyola. Eight Penn players attempted at least one three, and didn't make any. Eight Penn players had more turnovers than assists against the high-pressure Grayhounds' defense. Quakers forwards went an astonishing 13 for 17 from the free-throw line, thanks to Andreas Schreiber's 4-for-4 effort and Justin Reilly's 5-for-6 performance. And ironically, the guards (and swingmen) went 9 for 17. Reilly got 4 minutes in the opener against Drexel, but logged 22 in Baltimore, while Brennan Votel was in the game for 24 minutes against the Dragons, but got a breather on Sunday, playing only eight. Loyola's Gerald Brown had an Andre Iguodala-like perfromance, scoring 27 points, with eight rebounds, six steals and three assists, not to mention going 10 for 11 from the line. In a 15.5-minute stretch, starting from when it was 20-17 Loyola with 6 minutes remaining in the first half, the Hounds scored 53 points, bringing the lead from three to 30.
If you haven't noticed, and if you're reading this post you have, the blog has changed its look a bit. Most of the items in the right rail are still there, just in a slightly different order. We've added archives by month, as well as tags that will show what's popping up most frequently on The Buzz.
