We Can Study, But Can We Strut?

(09/19/08 7:01pm)

Before we all applied to Penn, we looked at those college guide books that, among other ratings, graded the looks of women on campus. I don't remember exactly what the score was, but it was a grade I certainly had never seen previously (which is why I then got into Penn). And while the women here bear the brunt of the beauty-bashing, let's be honest: the Quaker men also lack those state school good looks. APAHW and the UMC must have missed this fact, wanting us to forgo library carrels for the catwalk in honor of its annual fashion show.



Food Trucks Don't Deliver, But This Site Does

(09/17/08 7:15am)

The white whale for Penn food truckies (read: students who boldly go where all should go to eat) is finding the perfect food cart with the perfect absent line at the hour of perfection known as lunchtime. This student-created web site may not lead you to the Moby-Dick of meals, but it definitely provides all the information a food cart fanatic could ask for. And hey, if your hunt requires you to sample every truck, is that really such a bad thing?



Friday night football

(05/07/08 3:10am)

A Penn Athletics press release earlier today announced that the football game this year at Princeton will be moved to Friday November 7th from Saturday the 8th. (Actually I just read the Princeton Athletics release and it's more detailed). The reason for the change? So it can be aired live on ESPNU. The meeting will be the 100th between the schools.








\"Penn-friendly\" conference championships

(03/06/07 6:19am)

When Reggie Williams' 30-foot three at the buzzer was off the mark, I kicked the chair next to me and pouted for the next few minutes. No. 6 VMI lost an 84-81 decision to No. 1 Winthrop in the final of the Big South Tournament, and another chance to knock off a team slightly above Penn in the RPI went awry. Another few upsets last year and Penn might have been playing No. 3 Iowa instead of No. 2 Texas.


More respect: Stephen Danley or Rodney Dangerfield?

I showed up to tonight's game a half hour early, and Dartmouth was still shooting around. The Big Green student manager (he wasn't actually big or green, he was just an employee of the team) had carelessly left one of the team's scouting reports open, right in view of my courtside seat. I only got a look at the first page before he came over to get it, but something interesting caught my eye.


The trend continues

The growing popularity of "exempt" tournaments -- ones that feature several games but only count as one toward a team's limit of 29 -- may have found another home in Philadelphia. According to the Philadelphia Daily News, an exempt tournament that would feature the Palestra prominently is being planned for a future Thanksgiving weekend.
