I now have a new hate for Nova fans

[IAFootball3406]

Didn't think it was possible, but their obnoxious trolling on this board brought out a new hate for them that I didn't even know I had.

Hope Iowa beats Temple and crushes Villanova. Bitter sweet.

 

[as023]

That's great

I hope the New England Patriots play an exhibition against your football team and crushes them.

I also hope that Villanova beats you guys in the game on Sunday, but it is apparent that nobody here cares much about that.

Payback for Jordan Canzeri, likely

 

[DavenportHawk228]

I could care less. They live and die for basketball. If they win I won't loose any sleep. They are a annoying arrogant fan base.

my ignore list is growing w/these @ss shats around here.

 

[as023]

I could care less. They live and die for basketball. If they win I won't loose any sleep. .

That's pretty apparent. You guys don't seem to care about hoops at all. Your college football team that nobody outside of the rust belt knows anything about is all you are focused on.

It's a shame. College basketball is the best. Much better than following your football team to the outback bowl.

 

[DavenportHawk228]

The ignore button is a great thing!!! Now I do not have to read their garbage anymore!!!



Go Hawks!

Literally nobody is bringing up college football but you.

 

[HerkyFan]

Does Villanova have football?

 

[mikehawk8]

Yawn.

Lighten up, Nancy.

 

[EZ2BJZ]

FWIW, I think most of them are just passionate about basketball and wanted an engaging conversation. There was that one troll who started the whole pissing match and now all legitimate conversation has been lost to thoughtless insults about each region's less than flattering stereotypes.

I think the majority of Nova fans wanted a good discussion.

 

[as023]

What? I never talk about college football. I couldn't even tell you who won the national championship this year or last year or pretty much ever. I didn't bring up college football That's all the people here are talking about.

Yup agree. But looking at their board they are in love with basketball! Holy crap, they talk about it year around (kind of like clone fans).

I don't care about them, I hope we get a shot to play them, but I'm not holding my breath. Temple is a good team.

 

[Greg Woodward]

What do you guys think of the Goldsboro Anal Bandit?

So Villanova doesn't have a football program. Got it.

 

[TailgateTom]

Ah yes, the biannual flood of stereotyping dipshits from other fan bases is upon us.

 

[as023]

Villanova has a low level football program that averages 1,500 fans per game and only friends and family members of the team could actually name any of the players on the team.

Most Villanova students who like football follow the NFL.

The school is 100% basketball focused. Which is great if you don't care about college football and you like college basketball.

For those who are confused by this, if you were a college football fan from the northeast, where would you go to school?
Boston College is great academically in a great location, but they suck at football and are horrible at basketball. They compete from time to time in hoops, but are never going to be a real threat in football
Syracuse is a decent academic school. hoops is great. football has had good teams, but none for many years. Location is terrible
UConn is an average academic school that is great at hoops but horrible at football. Location is horrible.
Rutgers is an average academic school that is horrible at all athletics. Location and campus are complete dumps
Temple is a below average academic school that has been good at hoops at times, but football is beyond words bad. Located in a Philadelphia war zone
Penn State is not really a northeast school. But if you like college football I guess that school would be fine. average academics, but horrible basketball if you are a hoops fan. Location is horrible.

So, as you can see, you are going to have a tough time finding any college students in the northeast who are really passionate about college football

It's the east coast man. They are all asshats. Villanova fans are the kings of all asshats.

 

[kwik44]

This is great for you and all, but Villanova hasn't exactly lit the basketball world on fire either.

You need some lessons from our rival B1G members on how to talk trash, this stuff is just too weak.

Prior to today you were rooting for temple to beat Iowa and for villanova to crush temple?

 

[milehighhawkeye24]

Nova is a good basketball program, but let's not kid ourselves here....far from elite. Have not been out of round of 32 in 7 years.....as I said good team, but not elite enough to be talking any smack...especially considering the fact that nobody even knows if they have any other sport other than basketball.

 

[The_Owl_Will_Never_Die]

Have not been out of round of 32 in 7 years......

I'm no math major, but I think 7 years ago VILEnova was in the Final Four. One of the worst days of my life. Their fans are so arrogant and cocky.

 

[Nurman]

I still think ISU fans are worse but i look fowarfd to there slience next year when they win 12 games total.

 

[Vicks99]

Does Villanova have football?

Yes, also men's soccer, baseball, lacrosse, rowing, track and field. There also is a club hockey team. I don't know too much about the football team but the QB got hurt last year and they didn't have a good season. I don't really follow college football. How did Iowa do?

 

[DavenportHawk8]

Yes Nova has football, they own the Div 1AA ranks. They are usually in the top 15 in the nation and I think might of won it a few years back?? I can't remember, but they play in the TOUGH CAA for Div 1-AA.

Regardless their love fest is basketball. That's all they ever care about (sound familiar)? ISU fans are the same, its like they forget that there are other sports going on, its just basketball year around for those people. I think it would get boring, but I guess that's all they have out east is basketball.

To be fair they put most of their $$ into college basketball, why do you think the Big East is so powerful, they throw millions more towards one program than Iowa and other Big Ten Schools do. So to be honest, they should be better if they are spending that kind of dough on a sport. If they are no successful spending that kind of money, then why have it.

There are a few Nova fans who are decent to talk to, unfortunately the ones that came here at @ss shats who only care to talk about Nova rich history and how they will waltz into the Final 4.

 

[KittlesFan2.0]

That's accurate. Villanova has a pretty good football program at the level they compete. There isn't much fan support unfortunately. Villanova has abou 7,000 undergrads so it lacks the profile of a major football school.

College football is not especially popular in the northeast in general. The colleges out here tend to be smaller private colleges that don't have the alumni to support a major football program. Also, with the NFL teams around, football fans are less interested in college football. Rutgers is about as big as college football gets in popularity this far East and you now know all about that. The college football culture is almost non-existent compared to other regions.

Also, Penn State has a big following but that is in the woods of central PA and is culturally different than Philly through Boston. At PSU, there isn't much to do besides drinking and football.

Yes you are correct, that was the last time they got out of 2nd round

I admit I cheered for Villanova when they beat the"villainous" (or so we thought)Georgetown for the title. However, when I read what went on at Nova during that time I was less than charmed. As a track fan I remember a real good Nova miler from quite a ways back, tho not his name

What timeframe? I knew some of the runners.

 

[Herkuleez]

I'm pretty sure Danny Divito patterned his character from Always Sunny in Philadelphia off if Rollie Massimino.

 

[Dauminator]

I always kind of liked both teams. Based purely off of picking the tournament each year. Temple's always good for at least one win, and Villanova's one of the coolest names out there.

My taste for both is souring the more I hear about them. Struggling to find any relevant conversation on here since the announcement.

 

[MouphMadness]

How is going 48-6 in the last 3 years in a major conference that has had 50% NCAA tourney teams since its foundation, not dominant?

Last year, nova sweeped its OOC schedule beating VCU, Michigan, Cuse, and I won't even say Illinois but they were a top 70 team.

Year before, beat Kansas and all other OOC games except @Syracuse which is one of the toughest places to play in. Year before that, we beat two top 5 teams on back to back games in Louisville and Cuse....same Louisville team that won the national championship.

Bash the big east all you want, but they have very good teams in the conference, and going 48-6 in 3 years is no joke.

Nova has had some horrific luck playing in March. Hard to solely judge a program, though, based on losing a game to eventual national champions UCONN, and laying 1 egg to NC St. In 2013, we lost a coin flip game to UNC in a 8-9 matchup. You're going to judge a program on 3 losses, 2 of them which were very reasonable, and the 3rd, where the team just happened to lay an egg against a school who beat 3 top-5 teams within the past 2 months of playing them.

Same could happen this year. If we lose to UNC Asheville, we will deserve to be chewed out on forever and never respected as a program. However, it's not that far-fetched of an idea that Iowa or Temple will beat us this year. Temple is our in-city rival, where you can basically throw talent out of the equation when those 2 teams play, and Iowa has a very very high potential to do damage in the tournament. Should be good games no matter what! It's just so tough to get to the sweet 16.

I hear you. All the conversations are about basketball, and you guys don't like basketball, so you aren't finding any common ground.

I totally respect Nova basketball, but if we are being honest they are not an elite team. A very good team yes, but elite no. They are not a Kansas, MSU, Kentucky, Duke, UNC, or even a Wisconsin, Arizona type program. They are a 2nd or 3rd tier team....as I said I respect them. What I do not respect is the as bag Nova fan coming on here talking all sorts of smack, just pointing out the truth

 

[MouphMadness]

Every year he does that to our opponents just to stir everything up. If people stopped making threads that say "I hate Nova bc of ncaaball", he would stop, but people get worked up, and he therefore continues to do it. It's one person. He has about 50,000 different accounts.

 

[Ronman]

Not surprising at all. Go back to playing with your tinker toys. That should be challenging enough for you.

Loved the part on PSU academics. They, of course, view themselves as the Harvard of Happy Valley.

Penn State is the Harvard of Happy Valley. The competition is pretty weak for that title.

Honestly, if I had mediocre grades and no money, I would probably go to Temple instead of Penn State. I would just live off campus and enjoy Philadelphia. Happy Valley seems like total Hicksville.
