I'm pretty sure it's Italian for 2 in a row.. as in wins over delaware

or it means "haven't seen the playoffs in quite some time, that is, other than watching the Hens on TV". Amazing that Spanish can so densely capture such a long phrase, isn't it?

it's italian...
if it was Spanish it would be Villanueva
St. Thomas of Villanova was Italian.. therefore Villanova
And this year is the year that not only breaks the drought, Delaware won't be in
On another note.. name a Hen who is in the NFL making a big time difference.. (Flacco doesn't count) and don't name someone from the past

So you don't want to include the past, probably since Gannon's NFL MVP award just a few years ago would be problematic for you. And you don't want to include the future because the QB who just got picked in the middle of the first round would again, be problematic. And the "big time difference" comment is to exclude guys like Mike Adams who are solid role players, albeit not stars, in the NFL right now. Don't you want to include limitations like no guys who are over 6'0" and no guys under 5'11"? How about not counting guys who more than three vowels in their last name? Or people born on an even-numbered day?

Don't you go and bring logic into this

its a good article, just realize that thanks to Appy, FCS teams aren't gonna sneak up on the FBS schools anytime soon, take it as a measure of respect from them

Smacking is so easy these days

If Gannon's MVP award would count, then Howie's Gold Jacket would as well..

That's the difference between a winning football program and Nova. UD does not play and win to add up NFL players. We (UD, APP, GSU, Montana) play to add up National Championships. No disrespect to the Brian Westbrook's of the Nova world but it takes more than a couple all world players. I won't compare KC to Andy, at this point, but you also need a solid coaching/recruiting staff. We know who has the edge there in our schools history. Although you do have basketball. Enjoy your hoops!

I don't know though.. we run a spread offense, and our defense is very similar to theirs.. so our O may know the looks.. I think we just have to play really well on special teams...
