Three years ago the Villanova Wildcats were in the Final Four. Now they’re in the Nova Invitational Tournament in back-to-back seasons and offering $2 beers to try and get fans in the door against VCU:

Question: Was a dollar dog too rich for Nova’s blood? Is the AD going to have to move out of his $1.5 million house for a $1.2 million shack if they slash the price of a hot dog in half? Pockets must be tight on the Main Line these days when you’re paying a team $3 million to go .500 in the Big East.

But you know what? I’ll actually praise Nova for the decision. Get rid of the wine and cheese crowd and make it $2 beer night every home game next season. The best Big East teams are the ones with the drunkest fans. Look at the final four of the Big East tournament. Marquette are a bunch of Miller Lite swigging cheeseheads, Connecticut and St. Johns fans almost came to blows in the semis, and Providence fans are just drunk all the time:

Then there is Villanova fans cutting their pizzas with a fork and drinking $18 chardonnay behind the bench golf clapping when the team scores and then going back to their conversation shitting on some person from the club who could only afford a brand new A Class Mercedes.

You want to get back to the top, Nova? Do $2 beer night. It’s worked so far for UCONN:

The drunker the fanbase, the tougher it is to play there. I hope the students show out for this game and it sets the tone for next year. I really do. It’s more fun to root for Nova’s demise when it counts. It gets old after a while when you’ve seen it happen 32 times in the last two years.
