Iceland falls to a suddenly revived French club, 5-2. Scoring 4 goals in the first half, the French staved off a tentative 2-1 comeback attempt in the second half and move on to face Germany in the semi-finals. Their match will be July 7. Portugal will face Wales in the other semi on Wednesday July 6.

Remember it's such a peaceful religion.

from the start?

Why do we have a new moderater? Can we vote for a new one?

Who is retiring from BW?

This really blows if true. Im on BW more than any other site.

think we all know the w is for

I don't know if he has ever been an all star and he just got 5 years 153 million. Lin's deal with Brooklyn looks incredible at 3 for 36.

Whitecat.

Dude hasn't been able to log-in to Rivals for two years. A couple weeks ago he was giddy as a little school girl that his issues were fixed. Now eric is gone along with most everyone else. Talk about a kick in the nuts. Hopefully his computer wont have similar issues with Scout

Hi Folks,

I've read your feedback and wanted to give you something new that I thought everyone would enjoy. I'll be doing these every Friday as long as everyone enjoys them.

Now Presenting, Benchwarmers - After Dark. A little prize for the boys on the weekend!

Legendary Coach Al Severance to be inducted into Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame: https://t.co/MlWRc9MJuG https://t.co/E5poQN5oKh

I wish you all the best with your future endeavors with Nova Nation. It is a tough site, but I believe you will do just fine. I want to wish you all the best here. While I will be heading over to scout, I am potentially thinking about using both sites. Everyone deserves a chance and I think you will do a plus job!

Here are a couple of questions for you:

1) I saw you mentioned Duval as a possibility for Nova, which I personally do not see. The questions with API and his academic background are a concern with me. He and his inner circle want the quickest road to the NBA, which I believe he will be in not to soon.

2) Do you know Villanova 's recruting pipeline? The interest we have in the DMV, Philly, and other areas. The relationships we have with Team Takeover, Team Final, and PSA Cardinals AAU teams, among other teams.

3) Overall, what is your background knowledge with Villanova Basketball? What's your background knowledge overall?

The folks I've spoken to suggest Villanova has spots for two more players in this class. The big man is secured with Cosby-Roundtree. How does the ideal class end for Villanova? A ball handler and a wing scorer seem to be the obvious holes. Any prospects on the radar that scream "Villanova" to you guys?

Trevon Duval is a name I heard mentioned as a guard. The issue there could be eligibility. Prime Prep had a bad reputation in Texas before shutting down and it looks like Duval is affiliated with a program with a similar reputation. Wright and staff will/has done all the research necessary, I'm sure, but it is something to watch with Duval and any guys from that type of program like API.

Simply, one question where has Eric gone to?

It's with great sadness that I have to announce:

PLEASE LIST FOR ME YOUR REAL NAME AND E MAIL ADDRESS IF YOU ARE ONE.........THERE IS A GROUP OF PSYCHIATRISTS BEING FLOWN IN FROM AROUND THE WORLD...TRUE STORY......THEY WANT TO DO A STUDY ON YOU IF YOU ARE A TRUMP SUPPORTER..A COMPONENT OF THE STUDY WILL BE RACISM.......ILL BE GLAD TO FORWARD YOUR NAME........MAN UP...LET THE LIST BEGIN......

Free agency begins Friday at noon. Lot of rumors swirling about trades, signings, etc.

Jackets just signed Seth Jones to an extension...6 years, $5.4 AAV. Great deal for them.

So that's what we're called now? Eric even took VUSports.com with him? What makes this board "illustrated?" All of our post a pics? Randiculous' son's stupid pictures? TJC's funny pictures?

...of anything?

Got it to +3. Still pretty close to close having those melons unraveled should conditions change this afternoon.

Curious. Do any of you Chauncey's have any?

And why?

The newsgroup should be in good spirits and brightsiding throughout the summer months thanks to this victory.

Perhaps it will stir dmill out of his self imposed/court imposed exile

Perhaps the dimer will lose some of his cynicism

No doubt ball will be insufferable.

and maybe the CoPers won't spend much time convincing themselves that the phillies or eagles will be any good because the CoPers will be in a state of perpetual brightsiding

hope springs eternal

... that was the most incredible thing I ever saw.

for 31 years I waited for this one night and we won our second title with the most epic shot in NCAA basketball history and every second of the wait was absolutely worth it.

Villanova is now among the top dozen programs in NCAA basketball history.

Every member of this team is now etched in Villanova basketball history.

The way this team marched through the bracket and beat four top 10 teams in a row ... was EPIC ... it established this group of players, coaches, and staff as the most dominant team in Villanova basketball history.

I want to thank each and every one of you on this board for participating in this wonderful community for the last nearly 20 years / 15 on rivals. I spent the majority of the weekend in the team hotel - hanging out with the people from this board who have become my lifelong friends ... hundreds of people from this board were in Houston and I enjoyed sharing this moment with all of you.

I have spent a good portion of the hours since Jenkins shot nestled into the basket crying tears of joy ... I am so happy for Jay Wright and this group of stellar people that no words can describe it.
