Buzz kill: Nova loses to Penn

[Waquoit]

But we still played Mizzou tough! 1st Penn win in over 100 years.

The Big Five lives on. Loved that basketball rivalry when I lived in Philly.

Robertson I believe was injured in their last game and was out

Nova didn't have Robertson -- likely lost for year w/ PCL.

They also lost a starting OL after the UCONN game because he was donating bone marrow and would be out for at least 3 games

...

It was their first win over a top 5 team on the road in over 100 years.

We already won the game -- it only matters for our computer rankings down the road.

I'm not converned whether we finish 70th versus 60th in the computer rankings at the end of the year. This year is about being better, being on the rise and, at the end of the season, seeing if there is any way to get to 6 wins.

When we're better I'll go back to worrying about computer rankings. For now, I just want to see how we play tomorrow.

Anything that happens to 'Nova after the end of the Delaware game last Saturday is irrelevant.

They lost to Penn.

 

[Fishy]

I don't care.

No one should care.

They lost to UConn. After that, they ceased to exist.

Al Bagnoli. He was a friend of my Dad's and for 20+ years Penn was really good. Ivy League good and sometimes beating Teams above their weight class. This ain't Columbia that has had 10 years of One Win seasons.

Of course, the irony? He is now at Columbia.
