Go Cats Go

I saw in the ESPN crawl today that my Alma Mater, Villanova, was leading Philadelphia Big 5 rival Temple 22-11. Big 5 games are seldom close, so I assumed that the final score wouldn't be lobsided. Well, the #3 Wildcats ended up trouncing Temple 75-53. I had no idea my guys were ranked so highly, but I'm not a maniacal alum who keeps up with recruiting and other obsessive stuff. However, you can consider me on the bandwagon through March. My freshman year was right after the '85 team shocked Georgetown in the NCAA final 66-64 in arguably the biggest upset in tournament history. The best they did when I was there was advance to the final 8 in 1988. I recall watching them beat Illinois in the sweet 16 and then my rommate and I toilet-papered a poor, unsuspecting tree. There is nothing like reliving your youth, but I'll probably be more subdued if they do well this season.
