Penn

Ever since conferences started running their own digital video packages, Ivy League fans have wanted in on the action.
But for the last few years, Ancient Eight fans have had to pay for each individual school's streaming service. In addition to being a logistical hassle, that could get pretty expensive.
Those days are over now.

Penn guards Miles Cartwright and Tony Hicks were recognized in the conference's season-ending awards, which were announced Wednesday afternoon after a vote of the league's eight head coaches.
Cartwright was named to the conference's second team, and Hicks received honorable mention.
Here's the full list of conference honors:

The Penn football team announced its 2013 football schedule today. As with last season, there will three games against scholarship programs - and that includes the Patriot League this year. The incoming freshman class is the first in the conference's history that has access to merit-based aid.
Of more importance, though, is that the annual Penn-Villanova game will take place on the Main Line this time. It will be on September 28.
A week before that, Penn will open its season against Lafayette. There's also a trip to William & Mary on October 12. It comes seven days after the Quakers' first Ivy League contest, at home against Dartmouth.

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of writing an essay on the Palestra for the Philly Love Notes project.
To my great surprise and pleasure, I got an e-mail recently from legendary former Palestra custodian Dan Harrell complimenting the piece. Dan also sent along an essay on the Palestra that he wrote last year, before he formally retired from Penn's athletic department.
(Though as any of you who go to Penn games know, he's still in the building plenty often.)

It would be a stretch to say that Penn's 71-48 rout of Brown at the Palestra on Saturday felt like old times.
After all, it was just the Quakers' second win in five conference games so far this year. And the announced crowd of 3,103 only got to what it was because of a ticket promotion for students in the senior class.
But there's also a point at which a 23-point win is a 23-point win. That's especially true when the victor is in the midst of the longest stretch of consecutive seasons without a conference title in the Ivy League era. The drought of Ivy League championships on 33rd Street stretches back to 2007, matching the previous record set between the 1987 and 1993 campaigns.

After Temple rallied past Penn for a 76-69 at the Liacouras Center, I got together with the Inquirer's Keith Pompey to discuss some highlights from the game. We also talked about what each team can take from the night as they head into conference play for the rest of the season.

After writing up the Inquirer's recap of Penn's dramatic 85-83 loss to Lafayette, I got together with videographer Samantha Corrado to do a wrap-up of the night. I figured it would be a good time to survey the state of the Quakers heading into their Ivy League opener on Saturday at Princeton.
So instead of writing, this post is in video form. Enjoy.
