Congratulations to VUHoops.com for Their Success With the Randy Foye Blogathon

To the Villanova Wildcats faithful-

Amidst all of the excitement of Villanova's first Final Four in 24 years, I wanted to take an opportunity to congratulate VUHoops.com for their fine efforts on behalf of the Randy Foye Foundation. They were able to raise $745 for that worthy cause, as they announced on Monday... and as many of you undoubtedly know, they do a great job covering the Wildcats.

If you haven't had a chance to learn more about Foye's personal story, or the mission of the RFF, I'd encourage you to take a look at their web site...

On the Final Four-

Over the course of the week, I'll be writing up previous games in the all-time Villanova/North Carolina series, culminating the complete Villanova/North Carolina Rivalry History. And of course, there will be a comprehensive preview of Saturday's Final Four clash - so please check back for more...

In the meantime...

You can also take a look at the other Villanova blogs included in Various Viewpoints on the right sidebar, for their takes...

Go Wildcats!

There are two ways you can contact Villanova Viewpoint. One is by commenting on this blog. Comments are encouraged. Also, you can e-mail villanova.viewpoint@yahoo.com (Important note: This is a different e-mail address than before. Please use this new one.)

The Randy Foye Foundation Blogathon, Sponsored by VUHoops.com

To the Villanova Wildcats faithful-

The great site VUHoops.com has called to my attention an admirable cause, due to their Blogathon to Support the Randy Foye Foundation. The immediate impetus was the fundraiser which they are hosting this evening, as Foye and the Minnesota Timberwolves take on the 76ers at the Wachovia Center.

I would highly recommend that you take a look at the Randy Foye Foundation web site. They provide Foye's biography and background, discuss his ascent into basketball stardom, and describe his efforts to improve opportunities for residents of his hometown of Newark, New Jersey. You will likely find Foye's own personal story to be of tremendous interest, particularly if you are not previously familiar with his path first to Villanova, and then to the NBA.

I wish the Foundation the best of luck in the fulfillment of their mission...
