I guess some coaches around the country think so. NOT ME. CC plays in a weak conference. Should not be # 1.

My seats for Mondays game - 5 rows behind Nova bench - My buddy now has a commitment and cant go.

Love to get my money back -

Time to remember all who served.

Sweet win against a school that 99% of Villanova alumni could not name what state the school is located.

Bad news though, we lost tons of money.

I am sure the basketball haters like box+1, dcfranklin and uncleed will point out that villanova just played northweed. But northweed has a hall of fame coach, the school made money on the game, and there was a 2 hour tribute to the awesomeness of villanova during the game.

Villanova athletics would have been b Etter off not playing towson today and spending that $750k on a raise for baker dunleavy. To waste that money on a division 2 football game against towson is beyond ridiculous.

But whatever, I am sure some football tough guys will call me a loser or a jerk for pointing out the obvious.

When does the gravy train end for our failed football team?

Support the players, but end the charity. We aren't temple or rutgers here. No need to throw good money after a bad product. Enough is enough.

2 Lehigh tickets available - section 101 row 18 seats 7 & 8 -

Face value @ $40 each -

Call Dave (cell) 610-587-8690

Now that North Dakota St. lost for the first time.
My guess Eastern Washington.
Will our Cats move up?

Sarnese had a team high 11 tackles,a pic six of 48yds and a pass breakup. Congrats to Joe, one of Nova's senior captains.
A player we will see Sat night - rookie of the week Albany's Josh Gontarek caught 6 passes for 118 yds ,2 for a TD(29 yds and 19yds) Both TD catches came in the fourth quarter as Albany mounted a comeback. They lost at home to Delaware.

tickets are taken

Not sure who this guy is, but he was scouting at the VU-Towson game and here were his comments:

http://footballgameplan.com/feat/hunts-scouting-notes/

Any valid reason for 7 PM kickoff for Towson and Albany games?. Sparse crowd shown in posted pictures. Any TV money involved? Occasionally get back east to visit family in DC area. No way we would drive up for a night game. Even the 3 PM start for last years Delaware game, which I attended, was pushing it due to the cold weather in second half.

I put a post up about these tickets a couple weeks ago and then was away for quite some time. I have 2 seats in section 112, Row 7, Seats 3 and 4 and naturally just want face value. Please respond here or my e-mail is edmund.pugh@verizon.net. I can mail tickets and also work around the King of Prussia area and live in Wayne.

Thanks

Where should our athletic program prioritize it's resources?

Heck, if we dropped football then over the next 5 yrs alone we would have an additional $35 mill available for basketball facility renovations along with the $9 mill we are about to drop on a weight room for football. Seems like the wise move to this fan of Villanova athletics.

Watched the game ,,, vintage JR looked to be back in form despite 2-3 bad passes, atypical of him to miss open receivers. Was wondering where Monangai was ... is he hurt? Towson RB Victor is a stud IMO. e will be an even bigger beast next year behind a more experienced line.

Majors hasn't played most of this year. I think he got a concussion in the first or second game of the year. Anyone know if and when he'll return this year ?

Looks like a few websites are reporting that the Pope is visiting Philadelphia next year and he will be possibly taking in a game at Villanova.

Reports are Delaware game is being moved up to 9/19.

Some CAA teams have released their schedules and it is reported that FCS is allowed 11 games next season.

Here is what has been reported:

9/5 @ UConn
9/12- @ Fordham
9/19- Delaware
9/26- Penn
10/3- ?
10/10- William & Mary
10/17- ?
10/24-?
10/31-?
11/7-?
11/14-Richmond
11/21-@JMU

Pennsbury RB Charles Snorweah Friday night carried the ball 29 times for 467 yards & 7 TDs. This was in a playoff game against a good Downingtown West team. Pennsbury won 63-55. Snorweah's line is the most ridiculous I've ever seen.

How did VU's two area RBs do this season? I know Neshaminy's RB (D'Andre Pollard) ran behind a green offensive line & the Wood RB. I've no idea.

Talley has called JR one of the 5 best QBs in America on any level college-wise). That just might be accurate, or is it? I'm thinking of several BCS QBs & comparing then to JR. I'm also imaging JR at the helm of different BCS teams, & wondering how he/the team would do against tough rivals week in & week out. Lastly, is he NFL-worthy? I'm interested in the honest opinions of others.

Unacceptable for an athletic program that runs $7 mill in the red.

For that type of money we could have a nationally elite soccer or lacrosse program that competes at the highest level. Instead we blow huge money on a division 2 football program that just lost to Richmond.

Unacceptable. Who is supporting this?

Time to cut scholarship football and go all in for big time soccer.

After turning the ball over 4 x's against us last week, Richmond outdid themselves with 6 today. They led to 20 Maine points.

We hope to see you in December!

Fordham beat Bucknell in OT tonight 30-27. If Fordham is giving up 27 points to Bucknell, they aren't going very far in the playoffs. Their weak schedule has covered over thei shortcomings on defense.

During the Richmond game one of the announcers mentioned that Robertson's cast was coming off this week. Haven't heard anything official from Villanova. We can only hope the information was accurate.

Wonder if 'Nova would be interested?

Delaware (3-2/5-4) at Albany (2-3/6-3)
The focus in Newark now is can the Hens end up with a .500 season.Last year they ended up 7-5 and missed the playoffs by dropping their last 3 games. A 6-6 season this year will be a step back but that's due to the new mandate from the administration to head coach Dave Brock - enough with the quick fix and all the 1-A transfers - build the team from the ground up with 4 year players. This Saturday is a huge game for the Hens in their quest for a winning season or the break-even season. Next week is a definite loss up at New Hampshire and their last game a potential loss at home vs Villanova. Remember, the Hens won down at JMU (a better team than Albany) so a win up at Albany is doable.
Albany still has their hat in the playoff rink. However, their schedule is not favorable for that dream to occur this year. This appears to be the last chance for a win in the 2014 campaign for the Great Danes. Last week Albany lost at New Hampshire, 49-24. Next week they travel down to Villanova and then they finish at home with Stony Brook.Looks like a final record of 7-5 - not bad for a team that finished 1-11 last year.
Let's give the Great Danes the home team advantage with a 24-21 win over the Hens.

#8 Richmond (4-1/7-2) at Maine (2-3/3-5)
It was an ugly, head shaking, head scratching but exciting game last week vs Villanova. I came away very impressed with the Spider defense, holding the #1 CAA offensive team averaging 42 points a game to just 9 points. They turned a great quarterback into an average one. However, for playoff success the offense has to play better and that starts with their quarterback Mike Rocco and their running game. Richmond should have won that game comfortably but shot itself in the foot with 4 turnovers. Coming off the win at home vs Villanova, this Maine game could be a "trap" game with the Spiders hosting JMU next week and then finishing at W&M, both teams still with playoff hopes.
After an upset win on the road at Towson to open the CAA 2014 campaign for the Black Bears, they proceeded to drop their next three - at home vs Villanova, at Stony Brook and at home vs Albany. The scheduling gods gave them a favor with a game vs 0-7 Rhode Island two weeks ago and the Bears thanked them with a 20-14 win (though they had to come from behind in the closing minute to do so). Maine travels down to Elon next week (a 50-50 game) and then finishes hosting New Hampshire.
Maine is at home and well-rested with the bye week (something not many teams can say at this time of the year) but the Spiders are focused on the postseason and will win, 31-17.

#2 New Hampshire (5-0/7-1) at Rhode Island (0-5/0-9)
The 2014 schedule for UNH (only 11 games, not 12) and with their last four games - two against struggling teams on the road and two vs rebuilding teams at home will serve the Wildcats very well as they will get a playoff bye and be rested and healthy for a postseason run that should get them to the Finals. Last week was a 49-24 home win vs Albany. Next week will be the other rebuilding team (Delaware) at home and then a game at struggling Maine.
The Rams lost at Delaware last week, 28-13 and travel to Stony Brook next week before finishing with Towson at home and their last opportunity for a win in 2014.
UNH sleep walks to a 42-14 win in Kingston.

JMU (3-2/6-3) at Stony Brook (3-2/4-5)
The Dukes started out 0-2 in the CAA this year losing at Villanova and at home in overtime to Delaware (a bad loss). After three consecutive wins (at Albany, Towson, 62-7 and last week at home vs W&M winning in the last 47 seconds, 31-24) JMU is hot. Win this week and next week at Richmond and JMU is going to the playoffs (they close with a "W" at home vs Elon). But let's not get ahead of ourselves. All of that is wishful thinking on the part of every JMU fan.
Stony Brook seems to have righted the ship after 3 terrible losses this year. The first one was their opening game at home vs Northeast Bryant. The next one was another out of conference loss at 3-6 Big Sky North Dakota. The 3rd one was an overtime loss at home to W&M. Two weeks ago the Seawolves almost did the impossible - winning at New Hampshire before losing 28-20. Last week was a bye and so they are well-rested and ready for JMU. Next week is a home game vs URI and the Seawolves close at Albany. With 5 losses already Stony Brook can't make the playoffs but they can ruin the chances for JMU and Albany.
JMU will fight for their playoff lives but a well-rested and home team Stony Brook should win but only by one - 21-20.

Elon (0-5/1-8) at #24 William & Mary (2-3/5-4)
The Phoenix are still looking for their 1st CAA Conference win ever but it won't happen this week. Elon hosts Maine next week - that's the one you want to get and finishes at JMU.
I think JMU snuffed out the playoff candle for the Tribe last week with their 31-24 win in Harrisonburg in the closing seconds.The Tribe travels to Towson next week and then finishes at home with Richmond. Finish 8-4 and you are still in the conversation but it's doubtful the CAA gets 4 invites to the Big Dance this year.
Tribe to win at home, 31-17.

Towson (2-3/4-5) at #7 Villanova (4-1/7-2)
In 2013 the Tigers went all the way to the Championship game but lost to undefeated and three-time consecutive champ North Dakota St. They rode the coattails of their All-American running back Terrance West, who is now collecting a paycheck every Sunday in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns. They also lost their entire offensive line and thus the 4-5 record. Their first game told them that it could be a long season with a 31-27 loss at home to 2-7 Northeast Central Connecticut St. Next was a trouncing by 6-3 1-A/Big 12 West Virginia, 54-0. A difficult win at 2-8 MEAC Delaware St. followed and then a home win vs 4-5 North Carolina Central, 31-20. In their first CAA game of this year they suffered a bad loss at home to 3-5 Maine, 27-24 in the last minute. Next was another home loss vs Stony Brook, 14-3. After getting blown out at JMU, 62-7, they upset Delaware in Newark, 24-17. Last week was a 21-19 win over Elon in Towson, Maryland. The Tigers are 4th in the CAA in rushing offense being led by the #1 RB in the conference, Darius Victor. The Cats have to stop him or at least keep him under 100 yards. The Tigers are dead last in passing offense which is fine with us as we are dead last in passing defense. They shouldn't hurt us with their kicking game (ranked 9th in the CAA) and we will return the favor. Villanova ranks 2nd in rushing defense and Towson 5th. Their pass defense is rated 9th in the CAA so John Robertson should be able to pick them apart. Be aware, Villanova, of the Towson punt return game which is a deadly 1st in the CAA. Hopefully, Villanova's own players won't run into our punt return men and cause anymore fumbles.(How bad and embarrassing was that).
Be careful, Villanova, with this game. The Tigers only lost two CAA games last year - one to Delaware which they already got their revenge this year at Delaware and the other to the Cats, 45-35, down in Towson. They will come ready to take our scalp. A worn-out and injury depleated team should win on the Mainline this weekend but only by a touchdown, 28-21. Would rather see a 42-21 score but don't think that will happen. Prove me wrong Cats! Towson finishes with W&M next week and then at URI. Cats host Albany and then the big rival game down in Newark.

GO CATS - BEAT THE TIGERS!
