Love me some Raf

But whenever Lundquist has done our games recently, I’ve noticed some anti Villanova sentiment.. Maybe it’s just me being paranoid.

Greatest news ever...

Still praying for the day that Gus Johnson and Raf are permitted to do a game together. The world might implode if somebody hits a game-winner though.

My father was a military man. Guess I wasn't such a 'good soldier.' Anyways, when I was 35 he attempted to give me a crew-cut while I was asleep. I woke up, broke his arm, haven't seen him since.

Oh dear God...

the world would end. A buzzer beater with Gus Johnson screaming and Raf screaming “Onions!” I might explode if that happens.

Never mistake effort for achievement.

Tough Matchup

I am a little worried about these Colonials. They have the best bench of on mid-major.

I’m jealous of you guys. Nantz and Kellogg are calling the Cal game.

Maybe it's just me

But it seems like Verne and Raft follow Nova around everywhere in the NCAA Tournament. Off the top of my head, this is at least the 3rd time in 6 years that Verne and Raft have done at least one Nova game in The Big Dance.

Pretty sure it's more random than that...

but a guy like Bill might have enough pull to request a Villanova game considering he loves the team and he’s a Philly-basketball guy (always does The Holy War).
