It\'s a permanent move, so update your bookmarks and the like.... Fri, 02 Nov 2007 06:56:14 EDT scurria@sas.upenn.edu Andrew Scurria: Got questions? http://lamp.dailypennsylvanian.com/blogs/?id=1712&page=post Word on the street is that a couple of lucky Buzz-ers are getting a meeting with Steve Bilsky in the next few days. We\'ll be discussing the University\'s eastward expansion plans for sure, along with a few other things. If you have a (serious) question or issue that you would like to hear addressed by Penn\'s Athletic Director, please shoot me an email at scurria@sas.upenn.edu.The best basketball... Thu, 01 Nov 2007 04:40:06 EDT scurria@sas.upenn.edu Josh Wheeling: A first look at the men\'s basketball team http://lamp.dailypennsylvanian.com/blogs/?id=1711&page=post One scrimmage may not say a lot, but it’s all we’ve really seen so far from the men’s basketball team this year, so I think I’m free to make judgements based on it. I have to write a paper for my class with the Guv, so I\'ll make it quick.The Red and Blue scrimmage certainly was a sloppy one, but with 10 days before the season starts and months until the Ivy League, the team has some time to iron ... Wed, 31 Oct 2007 15:40:56 EDT jw4@sas.upenn.edu Andrew Scurria: Now that\'s motivation http://lamp.dailypennsylvanian.com/blogs/?id=1708&page=post I try to resist the urge to link to ESPN.com articles just for the heck of it, but a gem like this deserves mention.After that terrible loss at Brown on Saturday, Penn is playing Princeton this week, a team it hasn\'t beaten in its last two tries. I wouldn\'t mind a 15-yard penalty after Penn scores its first touchdown. Any excuse to celebrate these days.... Tue, 30 Oct 2007 05:05:14 EDT scurria@sas.upenn.edu Andrew Scurria: Mike Howlett to Penn http://lamp.dailypennsylvanian.com/blogs/?id=1706&page=post He\'s No. 4.Mike Howlett officially became the fourth member of Glen Miller\'s Class of 2012 at Penn, according to his father, Jay.Howlett committed to Lehigh last year, but made the \"difficult decision\" to take a prep year and re-do the process after Mountain Hawks coach Billy Taylor left unexpectedly for Ball State just before school started.Howlett, whose father said he is \"between 6-9 and 6... Mon, 29 Oct 2007 21:23:31 EDT scurria@sas.upenn.edu Josh Wheeling: Third strike and Penn football\'s out http://lamp.dailypennsylvanian.com/blogs/?id=1705&page=post Now that the Penn football team’s season is over, there are a ton of things to point to that sparked the team’s downfall. A couple of under-the-radar failures are interesting to look at. Let’s just say the word ‘third’ hasn’t been a good one for the Red and Blue in 2007.You probably heard that Penn has lost its third Ivy League game, and is out of title contention. Or that the Quakers lost their t... Mon, 29 Oct 2007 17:37:16 EDT jw4@sas.upenn.edu Josh Wheeling: Anything but uniform http://lamp.dailypennsylvanian.com/blogs/?id=1701&page=post If Josh Hirsch was still here we’d probably have written about this a whole lot sooner, but the Penn football team’s home and away uniforms don’t match, or even come close to doing so. I had thought maybe the change was made as a superstitious thing after a few losses, but for the whole season, the Quakers have worn this on the road, while donning these new ones at home.“We\'ll order new away jers... Fri, 26 Oct 2007 15:13:24 EDT jw4@sas.upenn.edu Josh Wheeling: Ivy league terrorist http://lamp.dailypennsylvanian.com/blogs/?id=1698&page=post Whenever I interview an opposing coach leading up to the game against the Penn football team, I ask the question “what scares you the most about Penn.” I’ve interviewed a bunch in the last couple years, and nearly every single one answers “Joe Sandberg.”The fifth-year senior is the center of every gameplan, and will be again this week coming up against Brown. Bears coach Phil Estes gave Sandberg a... Wed, 24 Oct 2007 16:20:34 EDT jw4@sas.upenn.edu Andrew Scurria: Garvin Hunt to Penn http://lamp.dailypennsylvanian.com/blogs/?id=1694&page=post Scout.com is reporting today that center Garvin Hunt, a Bahamian native and 6-9 center who attends Sagemont (Fla.) finally committed to Penn, becoming the third member of the Class of 2012 and the first over 6-5.More on this in tomorrow\'s DP (depending on who we can get on the phone this afternoon), but this is certainly good news for the Quakers and might mean that this year\'s recruiting effort... Mon, 22 Oct 2007 16:52:01 EDT scurria@sas.upenn.edu Andrew Scurria: Homecoming notes http://lamp.dailypennsylvanian.com/blogs/?id=1692&page=post All sorts of coverage of Saturday\'s game in today\'s DP, but here are a few notes that didn\'t make it into the paper.Long snapper Ted Rosenbaum left the game with a separated shoulder, coach Al Bagnoli said afterwards. Linebacker Jake Lewko, the backup, did well on the white-knucklers late in the game, but I believe he was the one who missed holder Braden Lepisto on that 42-yard attempt in the s...
