Villanova at #12 - you've got to be kidding me.
Recall this conversation between Lecter, nova75 and I last year - and the physical plant was nothing to write home about either. Campus was beautiful, stadium wasn't much better than high school stadiums.
Me:
Speaking of disappointing attendance
My son and I were down in Philly over the weekend, looking at a certain school on the Main Line.
A mostly cloudy day, mid-50's, no breeze. Great weather for November 10.
#21 team at 6-3 hosting #9 at 7-2 on Senior Day. I will give Nova's alma mater credit for announcing what looked to be close to the actual attendance - 6,617. That total easily included more than 1,000 JMU fans. I was shocked that there were not more people there. We could not get a ticket to Friday night's sold out basketball game against Division II University of District Columbia - but plenty of football tickets available. - $15 tickets.

I agree. That has been going on since I went there. Waaaay too much going on in the Philly area. No one cares except families and football alumni. On a serious note, send me a private message if you need any insight on the school or the area.
Lecter
did some of the football fans dress in blazers and khakis? Wives in plaid skirts? Camembert and the delightful Chardonnay in the stands? I hated that place to watch football.
