Thanks to SebastianC for catching this one:

9:01 easy win, never challenged whatsoever.

Got this from Villanovan. Selected VU track members. Others going to different meet.

First outdoor meet was at Penn today. The results are on the www.upenn.edu under athletics and then the team site. Maybe someone can link the site. I gave it my best shot.

Good to know they are taking time to focus on the important things in between their constant recesses and breaks. Does the senate really need to spend time on this?? Really??

Really?

Whoa - deja vu! No site confirmed yet, but Nova will play Colorado in the Sweet 16 round of the WNIT. This will be a re-match of the Sweet 16 game of the 2008 WNIT when Nova travelled to Colorado.

In that game Nova controlled the entire game, bottling up their two speedy guards whose names were (no kidding!) Brittany Spears and Whitney Houston. With a nine point lead and the ball with about five minutes to go, Nova ran a perfect 28 second set, getting a wide open three. Alas, instead of a 12-point lead, the ball hit off the front of the rim, taken by Spears on the run at the foul line and off to the races for a pull up three. After a failed Nova possession, another long rebound went the other way and another Spears pull up three closed the gap to three points, just 30 seconds after it looked like Nova was a lock. We pretty much fell apart after that and lost by six or eight.

More fun facts. Colorado's current coach was a player whose career ended with a loss to Villanova at Tennessee in the NCAA regional semi-finals in 2003. Kate Fagan was a member of that team also. Kate was the Philly inquirer beat writer for the 76ers for a few years and is now an ESPN employee.

No matter where we play them, this will be a tall order as Sweeney will most likely be unavailable to play again. UPDATE: Game is Thursday in Boulder at 9 EST

Well, I sit here at half time and I am not sure what I have just witnessed.

Will this be the first time a team shoots 20% from the field and wins the game?

GO NOVA!

Wait, I know what is going on... there is no oxygen there...
they are all starving for oxygen at 5000 feet.

Harry needs to put so oxygen tanks on the bench...

Later...

Anyone know if she has given, or ever will give, a Vow of Silence at the convent where she now lives as a sister of the Poor Claires? If not, would it be a benefit to have her speak with EDD? Is EDD a catholic?

Our Lady Cats won in a hard fought game on the Redbirds home court.

Without Sweeney who's out with a bad hand.

Looks like we missed the home date by one basket... Oh, well, that is how it goes. I'm guessing the team will head out tomorrow for the next game in Illinois. They should have fun especially if they play well. I wonder if continued wins will bring them back home for any further games.

Tpenter, have you looked into this? ask Dean?

I do hope the girls will make it through at least a few rounds...

The Illinois State website indicates that they will have free internet video feed available from the game on Sunday.

True?

sad news?

Villanova came in 2nd for Robby Andrews out of high school -- is he turning pro or looking for a transfer?


Robby Andrews Leaves Cavalier Program
Courtesy: VirginiaSports.com
Release: 03/01/2012


CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.-Robby Andrews, a two-time NCAA champion in the men's 800 meters, has announced his decision to leave the Virginia track and field/cross country program.

"We want to wish Robby nothing but the best as he pursues future endeavors," Virginia director of track and field/cross country Bryan Fetzer said.

A third-year from Englishtown, N.J., Andrews won the 2010 indoor and 2011 outdoor national championships in the 800 meters. In addition, he won two ACC Championships (indoor 800m and distance medley relay in 2010) and two Penn Relays Championship of America titles (4x800 relay in 2010 and 2011) and was a three-time All-American and five-time All-ACC honoree.

McEntee qualifies in mile. Lipari does not advance.

Game, set, match?.......or does Santorum pull off wins in OH and TN to keep pushing forward?

Have to assume Newt disappears if he only does well in GA.

This guy is hysterical to watch. Every non liberal is a dumb motherfu*cker. He truly believes he is the smartest human being on earth and that 99% of Americans believe everthing he says is correct. What planet is this guy from?

I can't believe anyone would vote for this idiot. The guy certainly plays by his own rules

http://www.prisonplanet.com/obama-plays-race-card-calls-on-churches-to-support-campaign.html

Nova finished 4th behind ND, Wisc., and ARK. The first two had auto qualifiers under 9:31. Ark ran 9:31.48 and Nova 9:31.52. They will probably qualify for nationals.

Nova pretty much disappeared from the race after the first leg. They reappeared on the anchor leg.

Women did not finish at Columbia -- 10 seconds behind after the opening leg.

....and now this!

What's next!?!?!

Women with Newt Coalition

Buffett Rule. Billionaire funded Super PACs. What about the rest of us?

I should probably know the answer to this but I don't. Therefore, I have a question for the collective wisdowm of the board. I saw that President Obama has put a proposal in his budget to end the tax benefits of 401K contributions for "the rich". His definition of rich has been anyone making over $200K. So here is my question: I run a small business. Let's say I provide a 5% match to all my employees. Let's say I have 5 of them making over $200K per year. If this proposal were to go into law, what does that mean? Specifically, here is my question; I understand the 401K contributions would no longer be pre-tax. Given today's savings rate I think that's a terrible idea but I'm the same guy arguing for a flatter code so yes I'm inconsistent here. I'll own that fact. However, what does that then do the matches employers provide? Since employers can provide the match up to 16,5; does this now all go away due to the tax treatment for "rich" employees? Isn't that a really stupid policy given the dearth of savings in this country? You don't only penalize the original contributions but I would assume, and this is the purpose to my question, the employer matches would not receive any preferential tax treatment either. Can anyone confirm how this might work?

....how will things look?

Seems like Mitt will further solidify his stranglehold on the nomination.

Anyone disagree?

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) remains firmly in the purist camp, insisting that being in the minority is better than winning without adhering to core principles.

“I don’t want to be in the majority if we don’t have bold ideas and that we’re going to reform government,” DeMint said Wednesday.
