Thanks to innovative Penn frat bros and their new Kickstarter, for just a one time fee of $100, you can clothe a thirsty Penn student in the best thing to happen to going out since the frackit: the Froncho.The Froncho provides an interdisciplinary and innovative look at the frackit: it's like a frackit, but a poncho. It really is that simple. Just like your frackit, you can still spill both beer and vomit on it as you please. Because who cares? It was only $100.

Chances are, if you go to the number one business school in the country, going to the number one business school in the country probably isn't quite enough to satisfy the ego.

This week we wanted to shake things up, so we brought a Locust vendor into the mix. Odds are you've seen this woman today, and lucky for us, she really didn't hold back! Read on to hear everything she had to say:

Welcome to another chapter in our book of crazy professors who have something to say. If you or anyone you know has been affected by comically derpy or cringeworthy emails from professors or TAs, please send us a tip at tips@underthebutton.com. In the meantime, enjoy the show.

Come all ye loyal classmates now, in hall and campus through,

A lot of you kids are young, so maybe you don't remember Ibrahim Jaaber, but he went to Penn and he played basketball and he was really, really good. As good as we are at dating. He won Ivy League Player of the Year in 2007 and went on to play ball in Europe. Now he's on the Lakers summer league team and has a good shot of suiting up in gold and purple come fall.

Sure, we're all worried that tonight's basketball game against Princeton (7 p.m. at the Palestra) won't end in time for Lost (9 p.m. on our couches and beds). But oddly enough, the Quakers themselves are worried most about winning because this is a big game. See, they won Friday against Cornell, who was ranked in the top 25. To put that in context, last year's national champions, the UNC Tar Heels, were not ranked at all. Crazy!

As we told you earlier, mens basketball coach Glen Miller was fired today after the Quakers opened the season with an 0-7 record. Check out the full DP report for all the details. Here are some quotes in the article from Athletic Director Steve Bilsky:

We realize that not every team can be a champion. It is a monumental achievement to even win one game against the talented opponents the Quakers face at the Palestra each night, much less rack up enough wins to bring home the championship belt or trophy or free pizza party or whatever they get.

For whatever reason, listservs get people angry like few other things. First the Slavic department went nuts and now Wharton is getting in on the anger. Says our tipster:

Our best friend Eric Furda, Dean of Admissions, will be part of a panel discussion on college admissions tonight at 7 at Wesleyan University. "But UTB," you say, "how am I supposed to get up there in less than an hour. You are the worst!" Shut up, that is not true. You see, it's being broadcast live right here over the internet, so you CAN watch it.

Here at UTB Headquarters, we spend a lot of time figuring out what we should do with our astronomical blogging salaries. So while we were perusing various online auctions for fine silks and exotic palaces (jk, we were reading UniWatch), we found this listing for an 1898 program from our annual football game with Harvard. It ends on the 9th so we should all start looking for spare change under the couch!

Seems like Philadelphia police have had it up to HERE with you kids and your fancy no-training-wheels-bicycles. DP Photographer Pete Lodato sent us this warning:
Here's a bit of a heads up for bikers at both Penn and throughout Philly: get ready for a crackdown. While pedaling up 40th Street, I was lucky enough to be warned by a Penn police officer of the impending shake-up. Apparently, there are a lot of really awful bikers who don't like to follow the rules of the road, and as a result, Philly police are going to start issuing citations to bikers who run red lights and use sidewalks instead of the street. In addition, the city council is also debating on a bike-registration system to help track problematic bikers and repeat offenders.
Follow the rules of the road, guys. Or: protest! Our friends at the local Fox affiliate reported yesterday on a Philadelphia Bike Messenger Association protest of the crackdown. The couriers say it shows a "rise of an anti-cycling climate in our city." How do you guys feel about this? Has anyone been pulled over? Hit us up in the comments.

A tipster sent us this photo of a random sign outside Houston. A random sign outside Houston is totally how they would cancel Fling, so we rushed to our computers and went to wtfpenn.net to find...a list of all the great things our student government has done for us? This one's going viral, you guys!
"Think Penn Student Government Does Nothing For You?" it asks. "Not really," we reply to our computer screens, "they provide services like Fling and Hey Day. Of course they do things." Then the website makes us look SO DUMB by telling us how the different branches of student government provide services for us like Fling and Hey Day.
At the end it says we should go to the State of the School tomorrow night at 6 p.m. in College Hall. If we were to guess what the State of the School is from this website, it is a campus full of unappreciative dorks who don't recognize all the great, wonderful, fun things its awesome student government does for it. Cannot WAIT.
Here's something fun, though: if you accidentally go to wtfpenn.com, you get redirected to sony.com. Oh cool, look at all the hip, versatile electronics that cater to our on-the-go lifestyle!

Who likes free movies? When was the last time you went to a free movie? For us it was basically a free movie FESTIVAL over Thanksgiving break in our family room at home. Maybe you haven't heard of DVDs but they're kind of changing how we watch movies. Free movies all the time! (Except for the price of the DVDs! A cost that is often expensive! Hey, whatever!)

Life compiled a list of the creepiest college mascots and our friend, the Quaker, made the cut. They said:

We knew we were going to have at least a share of the Ivy League title after today's game against Cornell, but who could have predicted how much we were going to dominate? We won 34-0 and steamrolled the Big Red like we were the Big Green. If this were a video game, Cornell would have "accidentally" unplugged the X-Box long before the final whistle because it was pretty embarrassing.

Today is Penn's first Arts Crawl! Exciting, right? It started this morning so maybe you are already out there crawling and reading this on your mobile device. If you did manage to squeeze some crawling in between racquetball and your lunch with Larry Linder, how has it been so far? Let us know in the comments!

The DP says no one was hurt in the car fire outside the Radian shown above, so it's okay to say: OH MAN HOW CRAZY DOES THAT LOOK? If not for the quick reporting of the finest paper on campus, we might think this was not a fire, but in fact our boy Marty McFly traveling from either the past or the future. Probably because Biff stole that almanac AGAIN. Biff and his almanacs, you guys - when's he going to stop already?
