You Don't Have to Love Hockey to Love his New Documentary (ON TV, SUNDAY NIGHT)

From his documentaries about oil spills to prison baseball teams, DT favorite filmmaker Loren Mendell (C'95, Friars) has now shot a new touching documentary you'll want to check out which premieres this Sunday night (June 20) on Fox Sports (or Comcast or MSG Plus - depending on where you live).

In "REPLAY Season 2", two rival high schools in Detroit take the ice 11 years later to replay a 1999 hockey game that almost cost a young man his life. Based on the trailer above, this looks to be a very touching story!

Undergrads, you'll never get an offer to get better grades as good as thi$$$! You can bet on it!

There's a site out there created by a Penn guy that is giving students direct cash incentives for improving their grades and general academic standing.

Hard to believe, I know. I wonder how much money the site will be dishing out to the extra motivated students at Penn?!

More about how you can get involved after the jump...

Recently, Alex shared with us that he starred in a commercial with some of his idols. In this month's episode, Alex debuts the commercial to us and redoes something important now for a fourth time!

What They're Saying About This Site

-Mike Tate (C'10)

"As an outsider to the entertainment industry and to LA, DuelingTampons.com gave me an excellent jumping-off point to start my job search. It enabled me to learn about Penn alums in the entertainment industry and conduct necessary preliminary research. From there I was able to reach out to our incredible alumni network, schedule introductory meetings and phone calls, eventually land an interview, and finally secure an internship at a top Hollywood studio."
