Passed away yesterday on last day of Summer. What a character, family man & baseball legend. (Also served in Navy during WW2.)

Rest in Peace

Back to hiding fees and not showing accurate price. This comes 2 years after they went to this pricing transparency model. Gutless.

Seriously what's the point other than to annoy the shit out of you every 3 years to update a million online services you have tied to that card.

I'm sure 50 years ago there was some valid reason but now it probably no longer makes sense.

It was announce this evening that J.R. will not have the operation immediately for the torn ACL but will re-hab to see if he can get back before seasons end.

Darrun broke his nose in a pickup game and had to be operated on yesterday. They say he has to wear a mask and will still be practicing with the team.

Glad it wasn't worse.

from Eagles practice squad

Just heard from a friend who knows someone at the Today Show that they shot a piece with Fr. Peter about the Pope's visit. It is schedule to air tomorrow.

From practice squad. Darn.

Have season tix invoices been sent out? The waiting list thread got me thinking...? Seems like we would have been invoiced by now. Hope I didn't miss something in the mail...or maybe I already paid and forgot...lol.

I can't be more specific at this point, but someone well connected to the football program told me today that the general feeling is that John Robertson's injury looks to be season ending. This was prior to the MRI results, but it doesn't look good.

#20 should be retired.

Speaks very, very well. Nothing startling discussed. Worked the crowd. I am hopeful that he ,along with Fr. Peter and others can lead VU athletics to great success
With Coaches Talley and Wright, Jackson has a super duo to build on.

Just received an e-mail from the ticket office now # 228 up from 259.

Im not sure how true this list is.
I don't' see ONE state school on the list (Cal, UCLA, UNC, UVA, Michigan)
But looks like Villanova is in good company ~

Saw your name on the list but never saw you.

Did not watch one second of the match but did see the video of the controversy. Thought one of the BW golfers would comment on it.

Short version - four ball match is all square on 17 with USA putting to win hole from 8 feet. Putt misses edge, goes about 18-24 inches past. Euro golfers and caddies immediately start walking to next tee. Referee calls out "hole..." About to announce that match is all square. USA golfer hears someone say "that's good" as she walks towards ball, scoops up ball, thinking putt is conceded. Then Suzanne petterson goes to match ref "we didn't concede it". So after a brief discussion, ref says euro leads 1-up and match goes to 18th hole. (Europe then won match). Karma then bites euros in the ass when USA thrashes Europe in singles to win cup. Petterson first defends her move, then apologizes today via Instagram.

IMO, total shit move to walk towards next green and then decide that you want them to putt it. If that's your call, stand there and wait for them to putt.

Thoughts? (Link is in next post).

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.

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