How'd you know that? My closest friend was the starting center on the Penn team that went to the Final Four in 1979. I saw him play there several times back in the day, and he is a Penn season ticket holder now so I go see a game with him once every other year or so. In fact, I saw a great game there last month that was decided on a shot in overtime with 0.6 seconds to play. Great place to see a basketball game.

He has a favorite bar to hang out at after the game called Smokey Joe's. I've drunk myself silly there several times, but I don't see that happening with my wife and son in tow.
