We enjoyed it. Maybe less interactive stuff than I had hoped for, but still fun for the kids

Born in The Inquirer’s newsroom, the AP women’s basketball poll ‘has stood the test of time’ From Immaculata dominating the AIAW days of the '70s to the Norristown-raised Geno Auriemma's dynasty at UConn, the AP women's basketball poll has chronicled it all.

Fantastic look back at Philly women's hoops history!

Dan McQuade Got Philly Like No One Else The writer, who died Wednesday, was one of the most gifted chroniclers of the Philadelphia experience.

This is a beautiful, fitting tribute.

Imagine one person teaching a whole city the size of Philadelphia how much joy, love, and strength we could find in laughing at ourselves together. That’s what I will miss the most. Rest in peace, Dan.

Last thing about Dan

In a world filled with AI slop & homogenized writing, writers like Dan- an original voice with an infectious curiosity- are needed more than ever

A computer could try for a trillion years to explain in a novel what Dan might capture with one picture or post

You can’t fake it

I am just starting to try and comprehend how many texts he must have sent daily. Truly impressive and explains so much of what made him awesome

Niche but necessary.

The stuff that straddled silly yet seemed sacred

“Philadelphia Will Do” was my favorite blog

Dan interacting with me on Twitter led to most of you doing the same

Here he is testing different basketballs at Rosemont in 2023

We talked about old practice jerseys often

He prayed for me after my brother passed in 2024

He always made me laugh

Dan McQuade was the lifeblood of Philly writers, a mensch whose gift for writing was only surpassed by his love of his country, Philadelphia. The city will never be the same without him.

Scrolling through Twitter, finding the ancient texts, discovered a quintessential Dan tweet.

Three weeks ago we went back and forth via text about this collection of college basketball clippings my mom saved from the ‘60’s (mostly about The Big 5/St. Joe’s).

It ended with him telling me he couldn’t wait to read through it.

This one really hurts.

Absolutely gutted. Dan was a great writer and about as good a person as I’ve met.

I will miss random text about random basketball artifacts, the joys of shore tshirt culture, and debating the quality of showmanship of coaches on the sideline.

Sports Management degrees should really have two courses devoted to meteorology
