Colin Groshong may have graduated from Penn all the way back in 2007, but the Red and Blue are still following him. Well maybe just the Blue. Groshong, in front of former Penn lightweight rowing teammates and coaches, coxed the Oxford first team "Blue" boat to a win in the 155th incarnation of its paramount contest against Cambridge, known simply as "The Boat Race.

It's just another sign of the times. Given Penn's shrinking endowment and slacking admissions, athletic director Steve Bilsky has jumped on the mediocrity bandwagon by publicly outlining his vision for an NCAA program of "moderate achievement," and "a general decrease in expectations.

By VANILLA ICE Whigger Party Member iceicebaby@bigwhigs.org Penn's prospects for an Ivy title are as bleak as they've ever been. But its trophy shelf might just see some hardware come Grammy season. Forward and emcee Justin Reilly (aka Yung Reezy) drops his debut album, "(Thug) Life of Reilly," today, and critics are calling it "an unequivocal triumph in the realm of unathletic, injury-prone white rappers taller than 6-foot-7.

A month after Dan Leone was fired from his job with the Philadelphia Eagles due to a Facebook post that slammed the organization, Athletic Communications assistant Charles "Chas" Dorman has been fired for similar Facebook activity. The Eagles fired Leone because he lambasted them for letting safety Brian Dawkins leave the team for Denver.

After three long years, the Palestra finally has its 'stache back. Just not the man himself. Courting popular favor in anticipation of this month's "town hall" meeting on the state of men's basketball, Penn coach Glen Miller was recently spotted sporting the trademark mustache of predecessor Fran Dunphy, who guided the Quakers to 10 Ivy championships in his 17-year run with the program.

Glen Miller's dog, Snuggles, will transfer to another family, the canine's mother confirmed in a press release yesterday. "Snuggles needs to live in a house where she has confidence in the family's leaders," the bitch said. She went on to describe the ideal family as one that could "fully utilize Snuggles' skill set" - namely, eating, crapping and chewing on her own ass.

Rollie Peterkin stepped onto the electronic scale, unsure of what he might see. The red digits on the scale's display proceeded to flash convulsively. In less than five seconds, the display read "Error." Here, in the Penn wrestling team's Pottruck Wrestling Complex next to the Palestra, Peterkin decided to try the other scale.

Former women's basketball coach Pat Knapp made his final trip to the Palestra March 28 at 2 a.m. to partake in the age-old post-breakup tradition of gathering his belongings. As he walked down 33rd Street toward Spruce, he stumbled upon Relay for Life on Franklin Field.

By DAVID DeLUCA Ali Enthusiast hottie10@dailypennsylvanian.com Over the last few years, the Penn women's lacrosse team has steadily improved from being the joke of the Ivy League to its creme de la creme. From a 10-6 season in 2006, to a Final Four in 2007, to last year's loss in the national championship, and finally, to this year's 10-0 start, the Quakers have clearly become Penn's best team.

By TITS McGEE Lady Staff Writer tits@dailypennsylvanian.com Another sophomore hoopster has flown Glen Miller's coop. And this one's going to hurt even more than it did to watch Remy Cofield and Harrison Gaines hang up their sneaks. Tyler Bernardini, Penn's leading scorer the past season and the 2008 Ivy League Rookie of the Year, announced yesterday that he will be the latest member of the Class of 2011 to wave goodbye to Miller and company.

Rain or shine, Brett Rendina and the men's golf team are proving that they're among the best in the Northeast. On a rain-soaked afternoon, the senior - who tied for first at 70, one under par - and his teammates finished second among the 10 teams at the Rehoboth Beach Spring Invitational yesterday.

The men's lacrosse team played what may have been its best lacrosse of the season, but came up just short of upsetting No. 2 Princeton, falling 10-9 in overtime. Princeton senior attack Tommy Davis scored the game-winner - his fourth goal of the game - 1:30 into the extra period to give the Tigers the win.

Believe it or not, there's a basketball oasis in West Philadelphia, where Penn students and inner-city children come together each Friday to cap off the week. Enter at 58th and Walnut. Tread lightly down the creaky hallways lined with beat-up lockers, past the classrooms filled with wobbly desks and outdated books and swing open the double doors.

Facing the second-best team in the nation tonight, Penn men's lacrosse has nothing to lose. No. 2 Princeton (8-1, 1-0 Ivy) will travel south on Interstate-95 today to face the Quakers (2-6, 1-3) in a 7 p.m. matchup under the lights at Franklin Field. Though both squads are coming off wins, the circumstances are far from similar.

As long as it faces a non-conference opponent, the Penn baseball team can hold its own. But so far this season, the Quakers (10-16, 0-8 Ivy) have been the pinatas of the Ivy League: Everyone gets a free hit. They've stumbled to a nasty nine-game losing streak since conference play began and are hoping to regain their confidence today against Lafayette (13-15) in Easton, Pa.

For the men's tennis team, this weekend brought little but disappointment. After a loss to Princeton last weekend in their Ivy season opener, the Quakers lost two more league matches on the road this weekend. Friday they fell to Brown, 6-1, and Saturday they dropped a devastating 4-3 match to Yale.
