FCS Coaches Poll

One of two official ranking systems. No surprise # 1 unanimous No. Dakota St. # 2 Illinois St. These two ended 2014 rankings 1 & 2. Our Cats are three, moved up from 7 where they ranked in 2014. A little surprise here Sam Houston St at 4. They put an end to our playoffs last season. These top 4 followed by Coastal Carolina, Eastern Washington and UNH. JMU is 13 followed by Liberty at 14. Cats sent Liberty home last playoffs. Richmond is 18. W&M, Maine, Towson are among "others".
Fordham is 21.

Myles Powell trims list to 8

One of my players who I am really proud of - I know that we have not been recruiting him hard but we have been following and in contact - He has had a fantastic summer though and I still think he is going to be a great get for someone - I hope we don't regret passing up on him because I know he is a huge Nova fan and if we got in seriously we could have had him - prepping at South Kent this year.
List is Georgetown, UConn, DePaul, Pitt, VCU, Seton Hall, Georgia Tech and St. Joe's of pa

I was surprised Xavier, Marquette and K-State didn't make the list over St Joes but they were in very early so there is something to be said for that.

Article about Jay and the program in it.
Written by Mike Lopresti.
Title is "No apologies needed for 'Nova's 33-3 season".
Lots of quotes by Coach Wright about the early exits from NCAAs.
Closes with the line "Going 33-3 should mean never having to say you're sorry"
The highlighted quote next to the pic of Jay is "[Early exits are] not going to define us within our program. It's going to define us outside of our program and we accept that".
Article gives Jay Wright a lot of credit for having the proper perspective.

In the Clark Francis section he ranks the Top 50 recruiting classes of 2016 [sic] and Villanova checks in at #48 with Brunson, Divincenzo and Delaney.

St. John's at #14
Marquette #22
Providence #28
Georgetown #34

Big East needs to have a better recruiting cycle this time with the HS class of 2016.

You will defend these things till death

Certain posters here have developed an undying passion for irrationally defending certain things without any signs of conceding their deficiencies. Whether it's a political idea, sports executive, or collar stay brand, let's take time on this thread to admit these items so that we can move forward from these circular discussions.

Things that I, NickleDimer, will defend until I am 6 feet under:
Donovan McNabb's on-field performance
the majesty of Pat Burrell's swing
Mike Piazza
my desire for local sports franchises to attempt to be competitive

3D Printer Update

The FDA has today approved a drug made by 3D printers. The printer is able to reduce the size of a pill while increasing the amount of the prescribed drug. It won't be long before pharmacies will do this and doctors will be able to customize prescriptions to individual patients. This will greatly benefit patients who have drug reactions because the doc can tailor prescriptions precisely in combination with other drugs patients are taking. And to think when I first posted about this revolutionary technology, the usual suspects spammed the thread with their usual garbage!
