« Temple got hosed | Main | "Is Bagnoli on the hot seat?" »

You tell me...

Does it matter that Penn State "ho-hummed" its way to a 45-24 win over Buffalo yesterday with a trip to Michigan coming next week?

Who should be the Nittany Lions' starting running back?

Are the Wolverines back on stable ground after beating Notre Dame senseless, 38-0?

Will Notre Dame be 0-4 a week from today? The Irish host a Michigan State team that has played pretty well so far next week.

Is Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese right that his conference's teams need to stop playing the Norfolk States of the world?

If you're a Temple fan, just how upset are you this morning at that overturned touchdown yesterday?

Does Villanova's big-play offense make the Wildcats a contender for the playoffs after wins over Lehigh and Maine?

Did Penn coach Al Bagnoli make the right decision when, with the ball at his own one-yard line on fourth down late in yesterday's game, he had his punter intentionally take the safety instead of trying to punt, allowing Lafayette to go down the field and win the game with a field goal because the safety cut the Quakers' lead from four to two?

And finally, what does it say that Penn has one offensive touchdown this season and Temple has five, and both have more than Notre Dame, which has none?

You tell me.

Fred:

Is Bagnoli on the hot seat?

The body of work is there over the 14 years.

But they have not won the league
since 1993.

And the past two seasons, the team finished at 5-5, with losing league records.

What is the problem down there?

I fell in love with the Big 5 at first sight upon moving to Philadelphia in 2002. At various points in my journalistic career, I've covered all six of the region's Division I teams. During that time, I've eaten many soft pretzels from the Palestra's concession stands, which is how this blog got its name.

In addition to the blog, I host and produce the Inquirer's College HoopsCast. It's a weekly podcast that features all the latest news and analysis from around local and national college basketball. Regular guests include Inquirer writers Mike Jensen, Joe Juliano and Mel Greenberg.

I also occasionally contribute to the Inquirer's women's basketball weblog, Women's Hoops Guru. If you've come here from there, this blog deals mostly with the men's side of things, though I do write about women's basketball and other sports when they fit in.

When not focusing on college hoops, I host and produce the Inquirer's PhilliesCast with Phillies beat writer Todd Zolecki, and can occasionally be found behind the camera shooting videos of the Eagles, other professional sports teams and the tiger cubs at the zoo.

One of the great things about City Series basketball, and college basketball as a whole, is its sense of community. So I want to hear from you. Post a comment or send me an email by clicking on my name above. But don't be profane, and don't post hate speech. I'm sure you'd like to take a shot at that commenter on the opposite side of a rivalry from you, or say something nasty about a team you don't like. But this blog isn't the place for it. Thanks.
