Message: [QUOTE="Viet Vet, post: 5091961, member: 8688"] I am going to play “back-in-my day”, so please bear with me. I was at Penn in the late 1960s. Ivy League football culture was far from the SEC/BiG model. My fraternity brothers and I would walk six blocks to Penn’s on-campus Franklin Field for a 2:00 kickoff. At game’s end, we’d walk the six blocks back to the house, have dinner, then get ready for the best fraternity parties on campus. No 45 minute bus rides. No waiting for buses to leave back to campus. The entire focus of my experience was campus (and party) driven. Need I say more to explain the students’ lackluster attitude toward The Rent. P.S. In the interest of full disclosure, my enthusiastic embrace of the party culture was a major reason for my academic demise at Penn, resulting in three years of service in the U.S. Army before transferring to UConn, where I received a terrific education.
