Thanks to the good folks at The CAA Conference, we've got a ridiculous smattering of videos from CAA Media Day, which was held today at B&T Stadium in Baltimore, MD. There's plenty of good Villanova stuff in there, as well as an excellent photo gallery from Niki DeSantis.
We'll start you off with the 2009 Season In Review video, with more videos to follow after The Jump.
Hump Day Links - 7/28/10

There's some news-worthy, uh, news out there today as it relates to Villanova. Earlier today we saw that Villanova Football was picked to win the CAA this year (no real shocker there) and they also have the pre-season Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year in Matt Szczur and Terence Thomas.
Here's some more things that are going on in the Villanova world today...
- Mike Sheridan profiles sophomore Maalik Wayns in the latest installment of 'Nova Notebook. Wayns sounds like he's ready to take a big leap this year, something that many across the country are predicting.
- Dante Cunningham continues to win the Portland-faithful over. His newest hobby is handing out sweaty Summer League jersey's in the Vegas desert. In all seriousness, this is a great story and is in no way surprising knowing Dante.
- Fact on Villanova Sports just released Part 2 of their Football preview. Always an entertaining read over there. And make sure to follow him on Twitter for more comedy (@TheFoyeEffect)
- Matt Szczur got more good news today. He's been promoted to Class-A Peoria in the Cubs' organization. He was hitting .397 in 18 games (he hit safely in every game) with 9 doubles, 16 runs scored, 8 RBI's, a .439 OBP and he was slugging .521 -- yeah, I think it was time for a step up.
- According to a report from AOL Fanhouse, Jay Wright is very confident that his team will be much better this year.

Today, the Villanova Football team was voted to finish 1st in the CAA for the 2010 season. CAA Media Day is today at M&T Stadium in Baltimore, MD and the 'Cats were a runaway favorite to take home the conference crown. Here is how the votes came out (1st place votes in parentheses):
| 1. VILLANOVA (17) |
| 2. William & Mary |
| 3. New Hampshire (2) |
| 4. JMU |
| 5. Delaware (1) |
| 6. Richmond |
| 7. Maine |
| 8. Massachusetts |
| 9. Rhode Island |
| 10. Towson |
In addition to the team accolade, several Villanova players were honored individually. Matt Szczur was voted the Pre-Season CAA Offensive Player of the Year after winning it in 2009 (along with the Special Teams Player of the Year).
Terence Thomas was voted the Pre-Season CAA Defensive Player of the Year after leading the team with 116 tackles in 2009.
In addition to Szczur and Thomas, QB Chris Whitney, OL Ben Ijalana and Brant Clouser, and K Nick Yako were all named to the Pre-Season All-CAA Team!
The Wachovia Center Is No More
It was announced today that The Wachovia Center will be re-named The Wells Fargo Center. Hence, 'The Wach' is no more.
What do we call this new arena? The Wells? The Fargo? How about the WeFarg?

Interpret That Tweet: Isaiah Armwood

Stealing a beyond genius idea from the guys at Casual Hoya (though genius may be too strong a word) and opening up our first edition of Interpret That Tweet, where we take a look at a Tweet from somebody in the Villanova program and try to figure out exactly what they are trying to say.
Today's contestant: rising sophomore F Isaiah Armwood, who showed flashes of brilliant play in his first season on campus last year. On to the tweet...
These steps all the way up to the third floor in bartly aint no joke
My thoughts as to the meaning, after The Jump...
The Best of the BIG EAST?
by Chris Lane on Jul 23, 2010 5:56 PM EDT

I just finished reading through Rush The Court's Top 20 BIG EAST players for the coming season, and to say the least, I've got a few thoughts. First off let me say that Rush The Court is a phenomenal college hoops blog. I read it daily during the season and check it at least a couple of times a week during the off-season.
And Zach Hayes is a great writer, whose opinion I respect after reading his work before. But I've got some problems with this list. I don't know if Zach considers himself a BEAST expert, or if he has allegiances in the conference. But what I do know is this list made me do a double-take more than once.
So as a self-proclaimed Villanova-guru and BEAST-expert, I'm going to tackle a few things that made me raise my eyebrows, as well as the Villanova selections. See you after The Jump...
