Editorial | Happy 100th, Al Bagnoli

This weekend, Penn football coach Al Bagnoli hit a milestone: He led the football team to its 100th victory during his career.

That's a lot of wins for a team that only plays once a week, for three months a year. In fact, the only man who has more wins for Penn than Bagnoli is George Woodruff, who led the Quakers to 124 victories and three national championships - from 1892 to 1901.

That was before football players were even allowed to throw a forward pass.

One-hundred wins is an impressive feat. Only a coach with strong leadership, a tough work ethic and talented players could make it to 100.

Coach Bagnoli, we congratulate you.
