Part 1 - Live From the Palestra: Guinness, Grit, and a Statement Win in Philly

We went LIVE from Philadelphia—quarter-mile from the Cathedral of College Basketball—and things escalated quickly. From pregame pints and cheesesteaks at the New Deck Tavern to press-row seats at the Palestra, this episode captures an all-time Juniata hoops day. In Part 1, you’ll hear alumni, parents, former players, first-time guests, and one very official executive producer weigh in as the Eagles chase a momentum-shifting conference win. We talk drums (still no drum), Eagles chants (the Philly kind and the Juniata kind), Landmark rivalries, leadership, belief, and why this game felt different from the jump. This one’s part road trip, part roundtable, part love letter to Division III hoops—and 100% Juniata energy.
