College '11 graduate, Michael Ratner, just released a Funny or Die video starring tennis star John McEnroe. The Penn alum wrote, produced and co-starred in the short. We think the video's actually pretty good and a nice change of pace from some of the other alums trying to make it big. In the clip, McEnroe teaches a friend's awkward and arrogant son, played by Ratner, some lessons.

Huntsman made another late-night television appearance on last night's episode of Saturday Night Live but he showed support for the wrong Ivy! Huntsman called Seth Meyers "kind" and "wise like a Dartmouth professor," but we'll give Huntsman a break on this one because he just wanted to woo New Hampshire.
Once upon a time, there was no Beijing, Stouffer or Wawa, and there was a street instead of a walkway past the Nipple. Because it's Wawa's 25th Anniversary, we bring you a circa-1958 photo of the intersection of Woodland Walk & Spruce Street.
