V for Villanova...

The alma mater plays for a national title tomorrow night in FCS football (Division 1-AA for those who recall when the NCAA didn't come up with dumb acronyms to help cover for the lack of a legit playoff in the highest level of D-1). Cool story about Coach Andy Talley at philly.com today, which provides some real context to the fact that Talley is Villanova football, and he's done it the right way for a quarter-century, winning games while never compromising the integrity of his program and avoiding frustration despite working for a basketball school. Here's hoping they take down Montana tomorrow night and bring a title to a private school for just the third time (cool stat!). Go Cats!

Now, if someone can explain why the title game's being played in Chattanooga, it would keep me from putting up an Irrelevant Unsolved Mystery of the Day post later...
