I'll be there, wearing Orange. First time at the Palestra!

My personal observations; I've moved around. Based purely on flags on houses and cars, and apparel: South Jersey – Rutgers > Villanova > Penn State > Princeton > Temple Philadelphia - Villanova > Penn State > Drexel > Temple > Penn Bucks County - Penn State >>> Villanova > Naval Academy > Penn...
