Welcome to Philly

UConn and Villanova, two teams with great skill
Their players, well known, with a talent to thrill
The Huskies have Jordan Hawkins, their star on the court
While Justin Moore leads Villanova, a player of great report

The crowd is electric, the atmosphere intense
As the game begins, with a fierce and focused sense
Hawkins and Moore, they fight for the ball
And Sanogo and Dixon, they give it their all

The Wildcats, they move, with a grace like no other
And UConn, they strike, with a power like thunder
Cam Whitmore, he leads the charge
But Sanogo and Clingan, they'll give it their hardest

The clock is ticking, the tension is high
As each team fights, with a determined battle cry
The fans are cheering, with all of their might
As the players push on, into the night

UConn and Villanova, two great teams of pride
Their rivalry fierce, but their respect cannot be denied
When the game is over, they'll shake hands with grace
For in this great game, it's not just the win they chase.
I thought ChatGPT only has access to info from 2021 and earlier?
 
You’ll be in Philly long enough to not have to choose between cheesesteaks and roast pork
 
If you are going to have an NBA class arena in a major city, it's gotta be downtown.
 
I prefer the chicken cutlet with broccoli rabe from Tony Luke's on Oregon Avenue (basically under I-95). John's roast pork on Snyder is great too. But I haven't lived in Center City since 2006 and only get up there for Eagles games a few times a year. Any current locals that can recommend newer cheesesteak places?
 
Ok, Mr. Style Points. If that’s how we’re doing it.

1999 was also an all-timer
2011 was the greatest 11-game run in the history of the sport
2014, UConn literally knocked out Nova on the way to the title
Oh, and in 2004, we had Emeka Okafor and Ben Gordon. They weren’t bad.

Advantage: UConn.
You forgot the 2014 team that knocked VU out was also a #7 seed, 2nd lowest all time, which for head to head style points is equal to VU's #8 upset win. And had Napier trashing Mark Emmert. "Hungry Huskies". All time quote .
 
Fair point, allow me a rebuttal. 2 of our 3 are all timers, The 85 "perfect game" against Patrick Ewing and Georgetown to deny them back to back chips and the 2016 "Jenkins for the championship". I argue including style points, we're even, at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it. I'm also a biased Nova homer, so sue me.
3 of 3 are all timers.
‘85 perfect game from the ultimate underdog, biggest upset all time
‘16 Jenkins, biggest shot of all time.
‘18 Best team of all time.

No shot clock in 85 allowed Nova to play slow. Credit to the Wildcats for shooting lights out, though. Same for McClain's dealer, supplied him with top notch energized blow
 
Any brew pubs for some good stouts or porters?
My beer destinations when I’m in Philly:

For more traditional styles, I suggest Human Robot, just northeast of Center City. Some of the best lagers on the east coast.

If you have the time and are willing to head to the near north suburbs, hit Forest & Main in Ambler.

Unlikely that you’ll find a porter on the tap list at the Philly location of Brooklyn’s Other Half, but you’ll drink some spectacular hazies, heavily adjuncted pastry stouts and maybe a lager or two. On Canal Street.

85 really was the biggest upset of all time. It was just so improbable. Incredible even as I watched it happen.

The rest are pretty ordinary, and a lot of teams, including UConn 99 and 04 would have taken the 2018 team out like smelly old trash. Indeed, the 85 Georgetown team would have destroyed them barring another miracle.

Name a bigger shot than Jenkins
 
Like smelly old trash? Come on now, the 18 Nova squad vs. either of those UConn teams would be fantastic games.
