The new prez came casual tonight and again walked out of the Palestra with a W.
Tonight she sat with grad students who had little interest in the game and had no idea how to move their arms to "The Red and Blue." But President Gutmann did try to pay attention while the students blabbed on so more kudos. She also displayed dexterity climbing over chairs unseen in the Rodin years.
No idea how she's doing as president yet - although turning the Shops at Penn Food Court into a CVS is a lowlight - but she gets a solid "A" as a hoops fan.
And as as an aside to absent students (none of whom read this board, I'm sure): If Penn's president can make it to all three home games, you can put down your textbooks, cell phones, palm pilots, brandy snifters, pint glasses, Jenna Jameson videos and bongs to make it down to the Palestra for a couple hours.

If Penn could figure out how to thread a bounce pass from the high post to a back door cutter, you would see her really get excited.

For what it's worth, Penn threw about 5 backdoor passes last night...most of which went to Begley. Maybe Dunphy promised him a few when he decided to come to Penn...

Not the Jenna Jameson videos.
We once tried to distract a foul shooter by holding up copies of Playboy from seats on the endline. We got a laugh from the ref and some smiles from the players along the lane but it only seemed to help the shooter's concentration. He made both shots.
