Recruiting or game coaching issue? At least Ben Franklin won't hit the portal. Or will he join Marshall in Lancaster?

You got a brutal draw, though, having to take on a big cat in the first round.

What are we even talking about? The St Joe's Hawk has such incredible endurance earned by years of endless arm waving, I don't see how anyone beats it.

So would the Hawk lose to Chuck the Condor, as they hardly use their wings--they just glide?

It was pretty cool in the '70s when you got an outgoing guy to act as the Quaker rather than that gruesome Herman Munster Quaker.

Dr. Wachter (a renowned covid expert btw) got the job after the previous Quaker Andy Stone (of Liars Poker book fame) was canned for doing a strip tease and actually mooning the crowd during a nationally televised Penn Princeton game,
