"The WHAT of the WHERE?"

MOJ readers may be interested to know that one of the local papers here in Philadelphia's suburbs reported today that our neighbors are upset about Villanova University's plans for building a new athletic facility and law school (on our own land, by the way -- no takings here!). One disgruntled neighbor complained that Villanova used to be just a "little Augustinian school", and now it wants to be "the Notre Dame of the East!" That reminded me of a recent story in Sports Illustrated about football at Notre Dame, where it was reported that "If it were not for football, Notre Dame would be just another nice Catholic college like Villanova." So I like to think of the Golden Dome as "the Villanova of the North-Central Midwest."
