Dick Vitale: It's good to be Villanova

TGIF, 'Nova Nation! So sorry for the late post on the Arizin today. Wife hid my computer last night prior to a dinner party she was hosting and boys night out - dog included - got a little out of control.

Not much in the way of news today in the world of Villanova - a pretty short fluff piece from Dick Vitale is the big draw - but some other noteworthy stuff including the latest in the Savon Goodman saga, John Calipari's crazy idea (he's joking, I think), and would you look at that a Seattle soccer player is coming to 'Nova! MikeJ. and Rob LaRubbio probably already have his jersey printed out.

And now, the "news."
