This season, though, it applies in a different way. One of the five was a “Philly mentality.” That phrase, with its definition- toughness, confidence, always have your teammates’ back-is printed at the top of a panel in the home locker room at Franklin Field. Last year, Priore asked his seniors to come up with five different attributes that define a Penn football player. Penn won five straight Ivy titles, and has won 17 total in the 35 years since-including both of Priore’s first two seasons as head coach. When Penn beat Harvard on a controversial do-over field goal, the goalposts ended up in the Schuylkill River.

But the ’82 season was the perfect storm: Penn got on a roll, and it just so happened that the NFL was on strike that season, so Eagles announcer Merrill Reese started calling the Quakers’ games. Before that, Penn hadn’t won an Ivy League title since 1959, and had won just a single game the year before. In the back of the team meeting room are two alums from that ’02 team, as well as Gary Vura, the quarterback of the 1982 team that started Penn’s run of dominance in the Ivy League. “I don’t remember to take the trash out,” Priore says, “but I remember these stories by heart.” Midway through telling his team a story, about how the “junkyard dogs” on the ’02 Penn defense stifled the star receiver on undefeated Harvard the first day “College GameDay” came to an Ivy town, he pauses.

His daughter is enrolled here as a senior sociology major. He’s been at Penn since 1987, and the coach since 2015, an era during which the Quakers have averaged an Ivy League championship every other year. Priore still has a twinge of his native New York accent, but his pride has long since become rooted in West Philly.
