Pennsylvania Soccer: The Man's Do

A college-soccer coach prepares his team for the prestigious 'Ivy League' title and thinks of the 'magic' of American...distances.

A Christmastime vignette about college sports folklore and its links to American dance (and daydreams).

The University of Pennsylvania (Ivy League) campus is an idyllic urban landscape for modern studies and athletics, and it's the site of our modern story about soccer daydreams.

The UPenn men's soccer-coach (Amlan Satan) prepares for his hot Quakers team to take the Ivy League title this year!

AMLAN SATAN: We'll have to defeat Princeton and Dartmouth, the two heavyweights, if we're to have a chance at strike-goal.

Amlan's a linguistics professor at UPenn studying the links between Ebonics and ritualized behaviors linked to consumerism in America, and his peer-professor Shelbye Lynn is studying Gaelic links to Ebonics in the United States emerging out of urban culture, a 'dynamics' study perhaps linked to the teamwork-flow of college soccer itself!

It's a snowy and lit Christmastime at UPenn, and the students/teachers prepare for its Quakers-team to defeat Dartmouth!

AMLAN SATAN: If we 'down' the Dartmouth Big Green, it'll be because we're soaring past the 'leviathan' of soccer-diagrams.
