Rumored for weeks, now official, former Wildcat and Philly Eagle, Kevin Reilly will do color. Ryan Fannon will move to play-by-play. The move came about when Joe Eichorn was asked to leave. Kevin has much radio experience. Good Villanova guy.
The Eichorn voice of many years will be missed.

Here is a name for some of us to keep track of in the coming years, Robby Carmody from Moon Township, PA. Obviously, he has a long way to go in his development as a player and in the recruting process, but I wouldn't mind if Jay and staff took a look at Robby in the coming months and years, I think he will turn out to be a pretty good player. He is about six foot three and is a very good athelte, dunks very easily. Pretty good shooter, passer, and ball handler as well I think he is a very solid player for being so young. He has already been offered by Navy and Pursue, I expect the offer list to climb in the coming years.

What the....

Cats leading 9-6 at half in a typical mistake prone first game. Gary Underwood Nova's second best offensive player incurs chest injury making a block. When this was announced at half I thought that would tip the balance UCONN's way. Underwood is the Matt Szczur of this team and Cats will need him, Robertson looked a little rusty passing. Should have an easier time at 1-AA level.

A couple positives-Oline did a good job especially with 2 or 3 new starters, kick offs were strong, punts seemed solid, John picked up his play as the game went on, secondary only had 1 serious breakdown - quite a few new folks back there, running game was good early till the injury to underwood.

Going forward I think we will be fine.

The other side-missed FG, failure to make the 4th and inches, too much clock time lost in 4th qtr scoring drive.

Any injury report info? Underwood? Anyone else?

Thanks Tom

anyone know?

Just saw that we're a 3-point favorite according to 5Dimes.

Pretty embarrassing for UConn.

Like Villanova, Uconn is a basketball first school. I am under the impression that many within the Uconn family are not happy with the sacrifices the basketball program may utilmately make for their football program.

I would like to see Uconn back in the Big East. I think it would enhance the chances of the Big East making it long term.

Beating Uconn this week in football will fuel the flames for those Huskies who want Basketball to rule. Just think where we would be if we upgraded in football and we're now stuck in the AAC?

I am flying to Hartford this week from Texas not just because we have a very good football team but also because I think this game may influence the basketball powers at Uconn to take a stronger stand.

I hope as many of you that can will join us for a fun evening in Hartford.

Did that concussion last year basically end his career? Looks like a shell of the player he was up until that injury.

Coming to Philadelphia...........All the Mexican landscapers love it..............

from hoops Weiss:

@HoopsWeiss: sad to hear about passing of former villanova star johnny jones from fla., george raveling's first great recruit @BlueStarMedia1

This year and last year were our best opportunities to beat a 1A team. Going forward it doesn't look good with Pitt and Temple (who seems to be on the upswing) the next three years. It wasn't one of Robertson's better games, although UCONN had something to do with that.

On the same day that Nova was announcing the major hire of an AD, this article appeared on the front page of the Philly Inquirer. La Salle is down135 students (16%) from 2014. Projected total enrollment is 3,164. The layoffs do not include any faculty. LaSalle ,last spring hired their first ever female president Colleen Hanycz. Many small,private universities are competing for fewer applicants.( St. Joe has 1,188 Frosh down about 75 students from last year.)

What an awful organization. Recalled a bobble head of Jayson Werth.

Hysterical on so many levels. The fact that they commissioned a bobble head to be made of a game winning home run in a playoff series THEY LOST is high comedy. And of course, they even screw it up.

Looking for one to stream music to from my iPhone and iPad. I see Bose and Beats each have a few-anyone got a good recommendation? I want something decent not a piece of garbage. TJC?

most sites have VU as 7pt favorite as of 2pm today.

I gamble a lot on hoops, not much on football. I follow our team closely, don't know sh*t about uconn.

all your oracles and degenerates... discuss. how does this game play out?

for the time being. 4 game suspension has been overturned.

The NFL has vowed to appeal.

At this point, Goodell can save face by dropping it. Every second this is discussed, it's bad for them.

The visit yesterday was Kevin's Official.
He has an official to MD this weekend.
Michigan the weekend after that.
and ND the last weekend of Sept.
After those visits he is likely to weigh his options with his family and decide.
Huerter is not doing interviews between the visits.
I spoke with his AAU coach minutes ago and will have the interview up a little later.

5 players arrested, and 1 of them was the same guy that the head coach tried to keep academic-eligible.

For those who know him USMC is an incredible person. A while back he set me a gift card for my son and we ordered him a Nova #1 hoops jersey. I put it on him today, he tells me it's a football jersey, he's 3 and knows everything. Three different people commented on it today. All 3 people said they loved that Villanova jersey, which my wife responded every time "its our hope he goes there someday". Each time someone commented it I thought of Sean and how great a person he is. Thank you once again.

what an absolute abomination of a franchise.

is RGIII the biggest bust in NFL history?

The ACC just released their full schedule.

Do we have an idea of when our schedule will be released?

Interesting that Sydney Over transferred too UCONN

As sebastianc asked- what happened to Margey?
