Broke on Friday, so I figured Monday afternoon is a good time to start a thread on this. VW stock down 20% in monday trading.

People are saying this is potentially the end of diesel engines in passenger cars in the U.S. It could also possibly be the end of the VW brand in the U.S. too, since they have sucked the last few years anyway.

The start of a new era.

Is he out of the boot? Fine? Will be fine?

Nice win yesterday! Still holding my breath for news on Robertson. Thought some of you might enjoy these game photos:

I will say it again...Sticks should be recruited by Villanova harder than any froncourt player in the Jay Wright era. Perfect recruit for us! We are in good shape early. More news to come on him and Nova this fall.

He sure deserves it. I can't wait until Thursday night.

Offered by Cuse and USC! Very nice offers for Roundtree this early into the process.

Anyone hear anything about JR's MRI? It was today and all that was released is he will miss the Penn game. Hope it's not a serious PCL injury. I'm assuming Talley won't say how long he is out as of yet

Robertson just took a hit the knee, but is up and walking, but out of the game for mow. I hope he is ok.

Not being very familiar with Philly H.S. schools,I know nothing of this school. It seems as though a lot of very good players come from their program......is it a parochial school?....have we had players come from there? (Lowry?)......what are our chances with Greene and Roundtree?....Thanks

Unbelievable on gametracker, John Robinson goes out of game (injury?) and backup QB Bednarczykr (a real football name) leads Cats to 2 come from behind TDs. one passing and clincher a 21 yd run and 2 pt. conversion by Zack. Co-captains Don Cherry and Reggie Paris drive the stake into the Hen's heart with big sacks of Delaware QB. Another game e for the recordbooks. V for Villanova.

Amazes me when fans leave these games early. Isn't this what they live for in the south? Bama fans left down 19 with 10 mins left. What are they leaving the game to go do?

19 pts with 10 mins left with these dumb college kids is absolutely nothing. No lead is safe in college foosball. It's the devil.

maybe they are stupid

Rex Ryan is such a gift for Patriots fans.
Guy was given 6 years to completely run the jets into the ground. Most knew he was finished after year 4, but the Jets and their brilliant owners decided to let him stay for an additional two years, making the jets rebuilding project that much more difficult.
Now he goes to Buffalo to run that franchise into the ground.
This guy has single handedly destroyed half of the patriots in conference competition. I love it.

Giants are incredibly boring. I hope our local coverage doesn't grab too many more of their games. I don't know if they are good or bad, but they are boring.

Just heard an announcer say that he isn't giving up on the eagles yet, as their division is so bad that they don't have to be very good to make the playoffs. I agree.

AFC North? Steelers and Ravens starting to slip? Changing of the guard?

Peyton Manning should have retired.

NFC looks again to be a two team race. Seattle and Green Bay. Arizona could threaten in the playoffs, but the rest of the teams are well below the others. Atlanat, Carolina, the entire nfc east are all a bunch of flawed teams.

There is no excuse for this and it is disgusting. Enough already. This is little league nonsense. Most high school football teams don't have the kicking troubles we do. I can't stomach it anymore and it needs to be fixed.

Yesterday the Cats improved to 600 - 466 -41. A .561 percentage. This is the 117th season of football. The program debuted in 1894. Villanova is the 17th FCS team to reach 600 wins.

This Saturday is the first VUSports' tailgate for the 2015 FB season.
Should be ready to go between 9 and 9:30 in tailgate spots 110 & 111 and we will be going strong until just before the noon kickoff when security starts applying the iron fist.
Please RSVP in this thread if you plan to attend. Will have beer, soda, water, burgers, dogs, other sides/snacks.
Hopefully some of you who may not have come in the past will be on campus for parent'S Weekend and will be able to join the fun.

Scientists at the University of Minnesota have used a 3D printer to build "scaffolds" to link nerves damaged by disease or accidents. Previously, the only thing that could be done was complicated and often painful surgery to try to reconnect damaged nerves. Now, the scaffolds are placed in the body and provide a direct route for the damaged nerves to grow, heal and reconnect on their own without the painful surgery. Scientists are optimistic that this technique may provide hope for neurological diseases as well.

Thought some of you might like to see these photos from yesterday's game. Eric, thank you for the tailgate, always nice chatting with you and the food was delicious! Crazy that the Pope showed up!

With yesterday's win over Delaware, Nova improved to 600 - 466 - 41. This is a .561 all time percentage.
This is the 117th season of football for the Wildcats. The program debuted in 1894. Villanova became the 17th FCS program to reach the 600-win plateau.
But my guess is the staff and players are more happy about beating Delaware for the ninth time in ten years including the eighth time in nine years since this annual game has been billed as the Battle of the Blue.
Villanova has won four straight and now leads the series 27 - 21- 1 (.561)

Head line in Tuesday's Wilmington News Journal. "We're going to have to run it at them. I've watched UConn and Fordham play horizontally against them, playing laterally against them, and I think you're playing into their hands a little bit if you think you're going to run around them. They're very fast, sure tacklers." The Blue Hens averaged 4.8 yds per carry and got 257 ground yds. against Lafayette. Lots of luck trying to run against the Villanova defense.
