Might As Well Give Us All The ESPYs Now

Good football-related news, guys! No, seriously, good Penn football-related news is a real thing - it's just been a while. Anyway, Penn football landed four players on the College Sports News All-America teams. Bust out your big foam fingers, everyone! Senior Chris Wynn made third team and seniors Matt Schaefer and Jon Ganiprow both made honorable mentions, but most notable is junior kicker Andrew Samson who made the first team. He's the only Ivy Leaguer on this most prestigious of All-American teams, right alongside players from schools who upset former national champions.
This continues the trend this summer of Penn athletic excellence and bodes well for continued success this fall. People who know much more about sports than us even think we could do all right. The football team received four first place votes in the Ivy preseason poll, so start getting ready for our home opener on September 19th against Villanova. It is looking more and more possible that any face paint will not be ruined by loser tears.
