The Nova Blog writer Andrew Trask (atrask8) will be filling in for me on The Score 1260 at 2:30 today while I deal with a nasty bout of the flu.

Follow this link to listen to Andrew LIVE - and we'll post the audio at the completion of the interview!

Tomorrow around 2:30 I will be joining Brent Axe on The Score 1260 Radio in Syracuse, New York to preview the upcoming game between the Villanova Wildcats and the Syracuse Orange.

I'll be on for about 10 minutes - I will post a live link on hear shortly before I go on and will post the audio feed afterwards as well.

Many thanks to Sean Keeley of Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician for setting this up.

Coach Jay Wright took some time out of his day yesterday to chat with Howard Eskin and Ike Reese on WIP in Philadelphia. Big thanks to Michael Bean for passing on the link.

Jay Wright WIP Radio Interview

Here's my quick little bit on ESPN Radio from Friday afternoon where I chat with a couple of Syracuse radio hosts on the news that Villanova is officially exploring joining the BIG EAST in football. A couple random thoughts:

The Nova Blog on ESPN Radio 97.7

• I still have no idea what these guys names are - the controller never told me. Just rolling with punches.
• I could barely hear them and was getting paranoid that they couldn't hear me at all.
• I wish I was on longer -- wanted to say some more things regarding the positives that this move would bring to the university.

I'd love some feedback on how I did -- it was my first time doing such a thing (other than the time that I called into Boomer & Carton still kind of drunk from the night before) and I was nervous/excited and listening to it now I can see that come through.

Still tons of fun and I'm sure I'll be back on before Syracuse/Villanova meet in hoops.

Today Jay Wright was a guest with Mike Francessa on WFAN 660-AM in New York. Wright's usually a regular on the show around this time of year as Francessa is a huge Villanova (VillanovER) fan and let's be honest, we all love hearing the coach on the most iconic radio station in the country.

I've been pretty harsh on Wright lately (which I still think is warranted). Usually, hearing Jay talk is like taking happy-meds. You get this warm, numbing feeling and start thinking everyone is going to be just fine. This one was a little different. This interview did two things for me:

• Make me feel a lot better heading into Thursday.
• Getting me violently upset at our Coach, yet again.

More after the jump...
