The reason we're called Quakers is because in the early days of intercollegiate athletics, Philadelphia area sportswriters called all Philadelphia sports teams Quakers. It was only are school that never decided to change the name. Also, your comments about the Quaker not working, and not inspiring our athletes, is completely bogus. Do you have any proofs of these statements? Just look at the next Penn-Princeton basketball game and you'll see an enthusiastic crowd that couldn't care any less about Quakers being pacifist.

Nicky,
