"Keep Calm and Beat Penn"

That kind of stuff drives the Penn crowd crazy. How dare anyone confuse their Ivy pedigree with that state school up there in the middle of nowhere?
Kind of like confusing THEEE Ohio State University with Ohio University. Inexcusable in this day and age.
The OSU band helps create that confusion by spelling out "Ohio" during their pregame routine.
The Blue Band doesn't spell out Penn. THe Spartan band doesn't spell out Michigan.
And the Kansas State band has never spelled out Kansas or KU.
THE OSU band has a major problem!
Thanks! My sister-in-law Penn graduate is here... and believe me, this drives her nuts. Any opportunity I have is welcomed 
back in the day, my fratenity had someone come down from PSU athletic department (some ass't AD) , and he went on and on, about how they had to explain they were PSU and not Penn and did not play in the Ivy League. He said they had to educate people that they played a different schedule and again not in the Ivy league. So I agree, I think you are correct this was a problem.
BTW at the end of the presentation, my of my brothers stood up and asked, 'so how do you think you'll do in the Ivy league' the dude was not pleased.
I want one.
We should print a shirt that says:
Go PSU beat Cal.
We should print a shirt that says:
Go PSU beat Cal.
Would you confuse Keeneland with Churchill? Would I confuse Parx with Penn? Would a NYer confuse Aqueduct with Belmont or Saratoga? This is basic math. There is intent here. BTW, Happy New Year Sluggo. Among the realitively few BWI people I met, you are a party waiting to happen. Cheers! One of the more memorable moments for me this year was sharing some (a lot) of beers with Slug.
My son played football at Penn. I had to send him the link just to tweak him a bit.
Thanks and back to you!,, you make it down this way again, let me know
Happy new year to you as well!

Not the worst shirt I've seen this year from a rival fan base...
The Quakers were a top ten team for a good part of the first half of the 20th century. Plenty of the National powers played the Quakers at Franklin Field to huge crowds. It must have been great here in Philadelphia. There are some great old time pictures of Franklin field and a search engine query can find them. I am sorry I did not answer your question but I just figured I would give a little history.
I wonder how long into the game these Southern Cal fans finally realize they aren't playing Penn?
Beat Cal.
I had a Penn grad dermatologist tell me while I was in school that Penn wouldn't want to compare football teams, but Penn State wouldn't want to compare SAT scores with Penn. I told him my SAT score. His eyebrows raised, then I told him I would then be seeking a new dermatologist. It was awesome - he was incapable of dealing with unexpected confrontation.
LOL. Trojan alums detest the name "Southern Cal" to begin with. As if they were the southern progeny of the original institution, and therefore less. They are not our progeny, but they are, in fact, less. Just not in football.
