"During those lean early years, when the coach was introduced at camps and clinics, he would say, 'I'm Jim Valvano, Iona College.' 'The kids would just look at me and tell me I must be the youngest dude in America to own his own college,' Valvano says."

I like this name! Gives me a vibe of esoteric knowledge. I think it's just called that because it represents one of the few LACs on the West Coast though.

No. It's in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania. The college is named after the town it is located in. (I'm from the neighboring town - Grove City.)


That was actually supposed to be funny, but if I have to explain it I guess it's not.


I find it intriguing that someone from Grove City reads DCUM. Two completely different worlds.

I'm just excited that there is someone from Grove City is reading DCUM whether they live there now or just grew up there. Love it when other DCUMers know these small western PA towns.

They renamed Beaver College
Arcadia University which just sounds like part of the His Dark Materials series or some similar YA books.

UPenn. Awful.
University of Pennsylvania was just Penn. Fine.
Pennsylvania State University was Penn State.
UPenn sounds like an illness.

She said that she's from there, not that she lives there now.
