Eric,

Does getting Paschall have any affect if Stevens would commit to us?

First of all I can't do it but certainly wish I could. there is so much chatter about limited Track and LAX and Soccer scholarships, just wondered what it takes to completely cover 1 free ride at Nova. I can do the math but just wondered if someone knows.

Follow up question is- are additional athletic scholarships p/o the fund razing campaign ?

Thanks Tom

While the ending was bittersweet and we were all disappointed, an "A" seems like a very fair grade to me.

This made me laugh this am.

Just want to thank the many folks on the message board that helped me understand more about the process and challenges that they encountered when setting up an endowed scholarship at Villanova. The resource that this board has been for me over the years is just tremendous.

Two years ago we lost Bill Slamkowski '85 to a heart attack. Bill was in the Honor Program at Villanova and swam all four years. I had the pleasure and fortune of knowing Bill while at Villanova and after graduation. He was a wonderful person and made everyone he met feel like the most important person in the room.

With the help of 2 other swimmers, we have started the scholarship and just last week hit the minimum amount to endow the fund ($100K). We are thrilled about this progress and it was only achieved by the collective brain power and experience of the VUSports Board.

We will have a special tent at reunion next to the Class of '85 tent if you are interested in learning more about Bill and the William T. Slamkowski '85 Memorial Endowed Scholarship Fund.

Good human relations story.

I obviously don't buy it, but where the heck did this idea come from?

TD I think you asked who was the OL guy. and Ross Hall worked out for Eagles. I understand today's workout was for free agents signed and unsigned. Kowaliski and Ross Hall worked out for Birds previously.

GDog,

Please post your bets on the NHL Playoffs and the odds you received for each series.

Anaheim was the only sweep in the 1st round. They were the 1 seed going against the 7 seed (Winnipeg) in the conference. I suspect the odds were about 8:1 for a series sweep on that series.

has anyone else experienced having to fill in some blurry letter/numbers before site lets you in?

I guess we can say current or maybe should we say 10 years, for the sake of argument. Balancing quality and quantity.

Last big decision for moving the family to London, a result of getting into two great schools for kids (6.5 and 5).

Want to live walking distance to school, so

A school near Sloane Square (Belgravia, Knigtsbridge, Chelsea, South Kenisngton): cosmopolitan, over the top in some ways, but awesome central location for work, tons of families from all over

Or

A school in Hampstead: leafier, greener, quieter, not cheaper but still very weather but older and understated, great village, though maybe a little less shops/restaurants at fingertips, great park access with Heath and Regents Park, and actually not much longer a commute (Liverpool st station)


I have a slight lean, based slightly on school visits, but quality of schools are both outstanding, so coin flip there

Let's see what happens. Is Chip Kelly going to get Mariota? What will the cost be if someone moves up (not 3, 1's as Mariota isn't fetching that much). Which city will splash the most keyboards? Will the Steelers please draft a DB in round 1? Let's hear some predictions.
