My question is... any chance we had recruits in the stands last night? Because that would have been the game to do it for sure.

Beyond that, I have to think Coach Donahue and staff would be sending that video to all the top kids we are recruiting right now and it would be a hell of an endorsement for the program.

QMH will tell you what ran through his head during that moment. This is his 14th year working with men's basketball, which might seem like a lifetime to some—Penn freshmen, for instance, who were four or maybe five years old when QMH arrived in University City—but there's still a large contingent of the Penn basketball community who would consider QMH a fresh face, a baby.

He was thinking of those people, who might have been students through the halcyon days of the 1970s or the great teams through the 1990s and into the early part of this century. There are many who continue to ring the court in their longtime seats, who have seen so many incredible moments in this building but have been beaten down by a decade or so of play they consider below the program's standards. (How's that for diplomacy?) Those who remember the student section being filled every game, students wearing costumes and riding opponents and singing "Rock n Roll Part 2" at the final media timeout ahead of another convincing win. Heck, those who remember being those students.

QMH could hear them. He could feel them. He can almost see them running up into the current student section, grabbing one of the hundreds of red-shirted students who might have been making their first trip to a game at the venerable college basketball institution that sits on their very campus, and shaking them to get them to understand.

THIS. What you are witnessing at this moment. This is Penn Basketball.

“Hey, YOU SUCK!”

That was always more fun than it should have been, haha.

I always hated when our students sang that song and was embarrassed by it. They didn't experience being great for over a decade and then sucking for a bunch of years before being great again (albeit at a different level). They lucked out by matriculating into greatness and took it for granted. I wonder if students during the Glen Miller/Jerome years would chant,"You Suck!" now if given the chance.

Ironically, I miss Hang Jeff Davis, which was banned for even worse student behavior, but was a historical artifact from the raccoon coat days of big time football at Franklin Field.

Any ice today, Lady? No? .........
