Happy Monday, 'Nova Nation! Starting the week 9-0 feels great (raise your hand if you thought we'd be saying that before the season), but now it's a long week until we face off with La Salle next Sunday afternoon. Get ready for a long agonizing week where I try to keep you busy in The Sun's Arizin.
Maybe the higher powers will smile on us and give us some good recruiting news to obsess over.
And now, the "news."

Confidence continues to grow for the Wildcats | philly.com

Delsea 'Rolle's' to second straight South Jersey Group III football title | NJ.com

Lady Cats Fall to Saint Joseph's (PA), 63-60 | Villanova University Official Athletic Site
A consolation prize for St. Joseph's (PA).
Reaction rolls in on Temple cuts | philly.com
The petitions are starting already at Temple, and the school is in full spin mode. I can't help but think of karma in a situation like this. When Temple joined the Big East, they borderline gloated over Villanova. Grab a chair and watch this dumpster fire, because it is beautiful.
