25 years ago today. Let us never forget.

I can just picture a young gdog playing with his Costco play set telling his bros no way Tyson loses this fight.

Got the game recently, knew Villanova was involved somehow but wasn't expecting this. There is a mode, mycareer, which has you start in high school and make the nba, just got this "recruiting letter". [/URL][/IMG]

First - apologies for such a random off topic thread.

I've noticed that a few of my fellow 'nova nationers have had children recently - I'm early thirties and I have a four month old.

I've started to research 529 plans and have talked to a few of my co-workers about this and am shocked how many of my contemporaries aren't interested or have decided that they won't start a 529 plan for their kids.

Am I missing something on this - has anyone looked at what states have the best plans - should i be considering some other alternative?

Appreciate any insight.

As expected. Dropped to 14. IMHO they are lucky to be 14 after that horrible performance last Thursday. CAA is well represented JMU #6 Nova #14 Richmond #19 UNH # 20 W&M # 25 , but IMO they are under rated. Fordham is 15.

I remember a thread on here a while ago, started by ball, in which he extolled the virtues of the rollerball pen over the ballpoint. I made the switch, and just had to look back over some old notes that I wrote with a ballpoint. I don't think I even knew the difference before then.

The rollerball, to me, is such a far superior pen that it's not even funny. I'm not talking about nice ones either, just the uniball cheapo rollerballs. You have to push so much harder with the ballpoint and it totally ruins your handwriting.

One thing that I don't understand is the super-expensive pen that's not a fountain pen. Why would anyone use a $500 montblanc rollerball? Danmcguire?

I find it hard to believe that she actually met with the Pope....the more I've read about her,the more I think she's off the rails......other opinions?

Saw in the twitter-verse that we are going to meet or watch him. Any news on that front besides what I read?

I moved into a new apartment in new york sept 1.

I was offered a lease, signed it, sent it back, paid rent, and have been living there since.
I was just told that the landlord never signed the lease on their end and it is therefore not valid.
Now they are rescinding the offer and want me out by October 31.

Can they do that? Just not sign their end and now its not valid a month in??

Tweeting pics of Travon Martin's body apparently? Looks like he learned his "remembered" tweets from BWers. Still don't understand why people love to celebrate this guy.

My son, a 2002 graduate of Villanova and a die hard hoops fan, is a Special Agent with the USSS. He was the lead agent assigned to the Pope's overnight stay at St. Charles. Early last week he asked my wife and I if we had anything that we wanted the Pope to bless. A table was set up inside the seminary for the seminarians and employees of St. Charles to lay out items they would like blessed. My wife opted for a few pair of rosary beads while I wanted a few lottery tickets and the 2015 - 2016 Villanova schedule. My son thought my request was a little tacky. As a result, we now have some blessed rosaries, no winning tickets and no sure ticket to The Final Four. Somewhere along the way I failed as a father in teaching him the important things in life.

My name has come up on the wait list for season tickets. I have been offered two tickets in Section EB Row 21. I would like to defer one more season, but I deferred last year, so I have to purchase them. If anyone is interested in buying the whole season, please email me at boblairdc@gmail.com. The price is $1465.00 total for the both tickets. Thanks, Bo Blair

MTV extreme sports guy. hit a tree. Won't miss him.

Where's the bottom? Kjbert?

We all know tjc can call the top.

Yesterday I played in a golf outing with a bunch of folks from work.
i was wearing a Villanova basketball polo.
The first time the beverage cart pulls up a guy in our foursome buys the first round and the girl working the cart starts handing out the beers.
She gets to me and says "your lucky I am going to give you this beer even though you are wearing that shirt".
I replied "what is wrong with wearing a Villanova shirt"
She says "I went to St. Joe's"
... even though my first inclination was to say something like "they offer a four year degree in golf beverage cart management?" I started saying "there is nothing wrong with going to St Joe's or Villanova" and
another guy in our foursome who didn't hear the beginning of the exchange said "whats the matter?"
and I followed by saying "for some reason St Joe's brainwashes their students from the time they are freshman to hate Villanova"
he said "c'mon with the Pope in town I would think the Jesuits could get along with the Auggies for at least a couple days"

at $600,000,he is the lowest paid Piston,let's hope he sticks......would he get cash even if he got cut from roster?

Does this seem like a reasonable estimate from an electrical contractor:

Front.

Install 6 LED pathway lights and switch @ new locations.

Install transformer for LED lights @ new.

Labor and material (Lights) $2,950.00

Install lamp post and switch @ new location.

Labor and material $1,700.00


Back

Install 2 tree up LED lighting and switch @ new locations.

Install 3 LED pathway lights and switch @ new.

Install transformer for LED lights @ new.

Install outdoor receptacle and switch for string lights.

Labor and material $3,500.00

Total: $8,150 for about a dozen LED lights and associated transformers/switched, an outdoor receptacle and a lamp post?

What can you say about this All American young man?,,,,,even when his ball striking off a little,he tears the competition's heart out with his putter. Have to really like all the young stars off the game....Only problem is that Jordan probably has trouble getting dates.

A video summary from the Today Show of why Pope Francis is loved by so many, and Villanova is well represented in this story too!

He was on the sidelines without his uniform on, during the Penn game. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think he's seen any game action yet this year.

Good /positive write up on ESPN

No mention of whether the attacks are also "old," "boring," "shallow," or "pedantic."
