From "The Wizard of Oz" to "The Cheese Whizard" (VLOG)

Last year I wrote a post about DJ Gregory's (W'03, Off the Beat) involvement in the (now San Francisco) company of Wicked as well as provided you a sample from his very tv-episode-soundtrack friendly music.

Before he was a wicked awesome musician, DJ was actually a sports nut; he was a left-handed pitcher in baseball, recruited to play at a few division I schools, the quarterback of his high school football team, and a member of the Philadelphia Junior PGA as a kid.

And, now, with the performance experience he has gained, and the passion for sports grabbing a hold of him once again, he has made a move into sports broadcasting...



Check out these 2 impassioned vlogs DJ recently published:

1) (Below) This week's piece concerns the upcoming NFL season and the impending blackouts that many clubs will face. Due to the semi-socialistic revenue sharing model that the NFL operates under, blackouts are used to punish teams who don't effectively market the product locally. But, with the recession putting a strain on ticket sales, journalists across the country criticized the NFL, and commissioner Roger Goodell for threatening to stick to league policy. The Cheese Whizard chimes in to disagree.

2) (Below) On a more Philadelphia-related note, after the announcement that Michael Vick was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles, the Cheese Whizard struck back at protesters of the NFL and the Eagles organization

Per DJ:

"Technology has made it possible for anyone to do what they love - especially in entertainment - whenever they want to. I'm glad to have the means to write, produce, edit and promote my sports ramblings from the comfort of my home."

Incidentally, how did DJ come up with name, "Cheese Whizard"?

"The Cheese Whizard is a play on words...The "High Cheese" is a baseball reference having to do with a high, hard, fastball, sometimes pitched inside to a batter who is crowding the plate. It's a pitch that makes a statement.  And, Cheese Whiz is the traditional cheese of choice for a Philly Cheesesteak...Put 'em together and you have The Cheese Whizard"

Follow Real Athletes' Tweets with This Penn Alum's New Website

Hey sportsfans out there!  Don't really understand what Twitter  is, don't want to join Twitter, and/or don't know which athletes on Twitter are real or imposters?

David Katz (W'94, Varsity Basketball) just launched an innovative new site called, www.AthleteTweets.com, that aggregates all of the players and coaches Twitter feeds on one website.  Plus, AthleteTweets has validated the Twitter feeds for all athletes and posts them all in real time.  Per David, "for a sports fan this is the best reality show not on TV".

David is no novice to the web. He used to run the interactive division at CBS Television and then ran Yahoo! Sports and Entertainment. In 2007, he left Yahoo! to start SportsFanLive to create a next-generation sports site after complaining for so long how all of the other sports sites were "all the same". SportsFanLive has been described as "ESPN meets Facebook."

Check out some of the reviews David has received below:

• Las Vegas Sun
  
• Baltimore Sun
  
• MediaWeek

Wharton Student Stuns Opponent at 2008 Philly Fight Night

Several months ago, I reported about a "Philly Fight Night". We're talking real boxing here.

Well, there's been another Fight Night recently.

Per youtube's mccopock1, "In a stunning victory for the Wharton Community, Itai Lemberger knocked out his Penn Law opponent at 2008 Philly Fight Night. Itai's match was the main event for the night, but it didn't last long; the poor sap from Penn Law was laid on his back 30 seconds into the first round of the fight."

Halftime dance with Creepy Quaker Dude

Apparently there was a dance competition during the halftime show of the first home basketball game of the season.

As you'll see, one undergrad tried to upshow C.Q.D. (Creepy Quaker Dude).

To the undergrad, I'd watch your back... There's just something about C.Q.D. that leaves me a bit uneasy.

Again, is it just me?

The Writer's Strike won't effect this TV programming

Just because I went to only a few Penn basketball games during college due to my involvement in Mask and Wig, that didn't mean I wasn't interested in Penn Basketball.

And just because I don't necessarily follow any sort of basketball doesn't mean I'm not interested in Penn basketball.

I do love the spirit when Penn alumni come together and cheer on Penn. And now there's a whole new season that's been announced. A season when Penn Basketball will be on national TV several times this season.

Per Pennathletics.com, “Penn will play on the ESPN family of networks four times during the course of the season, highlighted by its national telecast on ESPN2 when North Carolina comes to The Palestra on Tuesday, Dec. 4. In addition, the Quakers’ Big 5 game at Villanova (Dec. 1) will air on ESPN360; their Ivy game at home with Yale (Feb. 16) will air live on ESPN Classic; and their season-ending contest at Princeton (March 11) will be televised on ESPNU.

As part of the Ivy League’s television package with the YES Network, Penn’s contest at Yale (Feb. 29) will air live to a nationwide audience.”

Thanks for the tip from Kiera Reilly C'93!

Penn sets Guiness Record: Who says size doesn't matter?

It's 15 feet 9 inches long and Penn just set a guiness book record that belonged once to Harvard.

You've got to click here to find out what it is!

On October 14, 2006 the Harvard University set a new world record for the largest conductor's baton with a baton nearly 12 feet in length.

On October 20, 2007, the Penn band shattered that record with an even bigger baton!

Take that Harvard.

UPENN!
Originally uploaded by do4wn2es2.

So we lost this past Saturday night against Lafayette in our (Football) season opener.

Per pennathletics.com, "In a game that was marked by stout defense, the Penn football team dropped its season opener to three-time defending Patriot League champion Lafayette, 8-7, Saturday night at Franklin Field."

To be honest, generally I'm not a huge football fan, however going to a Penn football game had always been special... Thinking of it brings back memories of tradition, community, bitter cold days, congregating outside the stadium to try to get last minute tickets, toast, keys, the Penn band, and oh yeah ...the game.
