A book recommendation from a loyal BGA reader: The Price We Paid: An Oral History of Penn’s Struggle to Join the Ivy League 1950-55. From Amazon (LINK):
Midway through the 20th Century, the University of Pennsylvania stunned the sports world by scrapping its famous big-time football program in exchange for the academic prestige of membership in the newly created Ivy League. This astonishing choice ultimately helped catapult Penn into the ranks of the world’s great universities. But in the short run, it brought pain and confusion to countless Penn players, coaches, administrators, and fans who were caught in the gears of this transition. Their personal stories, told here for the first time, paint a rare picture of what it was like to play college football during Penn’s most glorious years of the 1940s and during the turmoil that followed.

EXTRA POINT
This is the fifth summer we've lived at our Vermont hillside home and I can't remember even a single mosquito stopping by for a bite until a few weeks ago. Alas, I thought I'd relax in our hammock with a good book yesterday afternoon and five minutes later I was scrambling inside. You guessed it.
Don't get the wrong idea. We're not being overrun by mosquitoes although it was jarring when they first showed up. But maybe their arrival shouldn't be a surprise. It seems everyone in these parts is complaining about them lately.
While I'm at it, have you ever wondered why mosquitoes may like you more than someone else? Or vice versa? There's an explanation HERE.
