Jack's loyalty is definitely to Princeton But nothing that has occurred in Cannady's case is out of the usual. I could, if I were doing my job right, get the same outcome for any client in front of him *even though he lost Penn/Princeton bets to me, or in front of any reasonable Municipal Court judge.

I dunno, you've gotta figure he was at Penn Law School during the peak of Penn's national prominence including the undefeated 1971 season**, which must have burned him up. You don't get over humiliation like that easily.
**Howard Porter cheated his way to Villanova eventually vacating its victory over Penn on the way to its vacated Final Four appearance.

I may be too cocky @ the outcome, given it was a police officer he took a swing at; but, so far Cannady hasn't received any special treatment from the court.

Well, it seems that the "outcome" has already been determined. Cannady is back on the basketball court; that's the only court that matters. Whether he gets off scot free or goes to jail makes no difference to me. I am still very curious about why he didn't play against Cornell and Columbia. Something's weird here.
So Princeton athletics run deep in the judge's family. His father played varsity basketball for Princeton and was also a baseball star who became the second player to hit a homer over the fence at Cornell - after Lou Gehrig did it for Columbia.
I know, he's an upstanding citizen of the highest moral character,so why should he recuse? Oh, that's why.

I guarantee that a Judge would not risk his reputation over Princeton basketball. Maybe UNC or Kansas, but not here. Moreover, he disclosed his association and either the prosecution or defense could have caused him to recuse. This is a non-issue.

Relax, you lawyers crack me up. You actually think this is serious? C'mon.
At least you didn’t call it a Nothing Burger.
And I thought accounting was the profession with the least sense of humor...

If you think your diatribe was funny, it's pretty clear that teachers have the worst sense of humor.

Diatribe? Really? Ok, if you say so. I would say it was ironic, but that may have been lost in writing or simply lost on someone who doesn’t pick up on subtlety.
Diatribe? Maybe you could use some vocabulary work. I have some materials I can loan you.

According to his bio, he got his undergraduate degree at Princeton ('69) and his law degree at the University of Pennsylvania ('73).
Well there's really no argument that Penn has a better law school than Princeton...

And a better med school, grad business school, dental school, vet school, grad nursing & education schools, etc., etc. Why is Princeton allowed to call itself a university?

Lyle,
It’s not fair to assume that everyone is as prejudiced as you.

So we can say PU every time we refer to them.

If you're going to take everything so literally, can't you at least call me a Pompous Genius?
