all I know is that the other ADs don't want nova in the football conference. that's what the topic was and that's what I have commented on.
so they took too long to make a decision...then what happened? um, they were denied admission.
central florida is the better fit from what I've read. nova is a tiny little rich kid school...not condusive to a major football conference
you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. i'd be willing to bet you would have no idea about this whole thing if this thread wasn't bumped.
way to prove that I'm wrong. nothing better than a condescending email with no substance :?
do you want to bet that central florida gets the spot in the big east? of course you don't
i really don't understand what you're getting at. if you've read mine and pjhawks posts you would know that we think nova is a long shot to get in at this point. so why would i bet on them to get in? (and again- up until this post you thought this was already over with so you're completely lost)
i gave you a condescending response because you continue to not make any sense. sorry dude. keep checking this thread to learn more about this, though. i didn't think you were that interested about big east football.
I said nova got rejected. you disputed that. then you said that nova took too long to make a decision on whether or not they wanted in. then they didn't get in because other BIg East ADs didn't want them in. which means they were rejected.

okay....
i disputed the fact that you said they got rejected because....ummm, they did not get rejected.
then i said nova took too long to make a decision. this part you are correct on. congrats.
but then, no, they did not get rejected. they very well might end up getting rejected. but no decision has been made yet.
am i communicating with a 30 something year old fixer, or a 5 year old here? am i on punked or something? :? :?
should be a rule that you can only root for the school you attended or work for. or that your kids attend.
nova students/alums are bad enough. don't need frauds that didn't go there making noise. I bet you're a duke or unc fan too
get back to me about the central florida bet.
and now we resort to this nonsense. (you're an idiot--i'm agreeing with you that nova is a long shot. you've had too much to drink tonight, clearly. it is embarrassing)
i will take this as proof that you don't know what the hell you're talking about and are just looking for an argument somehow.

also, their fans and now players...are gay. The fan/alum thing is something I will stand by though.

haha...there's talk the big east may split up in a few years with the basketball only programs being left out. so if nova doesn't get in for football, they could eventually move to the acc or something. so it could have a big impact on basketball program down the road.
my only point was a decision has not been mad. i still don't know if fixer understands that.

why is hating your rivals irrational? i don't like the mets or their fans either. i don't like the yankees or their fans either. i don't like the ny rangers or their fans either. i don't like the ny giants or their fans either. and i really really hate the cowboys and their fans. too me that's just rational.
as for a certain someone resorting to calling nova fans gay, well that's just sad. most of us got over that behavior in about 9th grade.
nice article on philly.com about temple getting better recruits lately due to dunph and upgrading of their practice facility...
...also a nice little blurb at the bottom about nova having the 2nd highest rated '12 recruiting class. thankfully the last couple years didn't send those young bucks elsewhere like some predicted.
dude you got some serious issues with villanova that you need to work out eventually.
have you considered therapy?
I just find it strange that people can be die hard fans of schools they didn't attend. I could never do that. Desperately trying to be part of something I have no affiliation with just isn't for me.
nova students = ivy league wanna be's.
nova grads = douches that think they went to ivy league school

so you wanted to go away to a state school rather than attend a pseduo ivy league school (according to nova alums)? interesting choice
My kids will be fans of the university that they choose to attend.
funny you have a thread dedicated to fandom. I don't like eskin-isms so I choose not to open that one up.

I see both sides to this argument. Agreed that for the most part that you should have some connection to a school to be a fan but I don't think that connection has to be graduating from the school. I grew up in a pretty bizarre college sports house being from a big penn state family living in upstate new york. I grew up as a penn state/syracuse fan, which doesn't make much sense but we went to Penn State games on a regular basis and the entire region is insane about Syracuse. It is what it is I guess and it just kind of happened. When my school St. Rose played Syracuse in preseason basketball a few years back, I was obviously cheering for my school, but that happens once a year in exhibition, at most.
Also when Binghamton University, where I grew up and both parents were professors at was in the tourney, I was obviously cheering for them.
I don't think you should randomly pick a team (cough, Notre Dame, cough) but I don't think it is strictly based on where you graduated from.
Edit: And I didn't go to Penn State or Syracuse because of soccer. I wasn't recruited very much by them so I couldn't go, at least without paying my own way which wouldn't have made sense having full scholarships in hand..
I rooted for all my hometown teams but there wasn't one in college football. I mean, PSU is a loooong way from southwest Philly. So, orange and green unis it was. I was only 9. Can't quit on em now.

My wife went to PSU main campus all four years. We go to a game every year. I could easily pretend to be a fan, but it doesn't feel right to me because I didn't go there (unless you count soccer camp for a week my sophomore year of high school).
Nova makes my skin crawl. Just go spend a night at the Grog or one of the other douchefilled bars over that way and you will see my point.
