An I-95 Rivalry Renewed

My friend PK writes:


What else is better in late November?

Two football teams squaring off against one another with a long history of battling for regional supremacy. First place on the line. A sellout crowd, as always, on hand. An explosive offense for the home team propelled by a QB who, just 3 years ago, was left for dead, athletically speaking.

It doesn't get any better than this.

Go Fightin' Blue Hens. 

Villanova at Delaware, noon tomorrow, at Tubby Raymond Field.

Pat Devlin, the pride of Downingtown, tries to finish the season off for the No. 1 ranked Hens, capping off an amazing recovery from his days on Joe Pa's bench. (He's now ranked among the top 5 QBs in next year's draft.)

'Nova, always snobbishly looking down upon its state-school rival just down the highway, desperately needs a win to have any chance to get to the playoffs.

Game on. Check your local Comcast sports listings.

PS -- Oh, did you think I was talking about the Eagles-Giants? Sorry.
