Remember when I said that the Villanova Wildcats shouldn’t get a parade in Center City and then noted that, thanks to Kris Jenkins’ championship-winning shot for the ages, they totally should?
Good times!
I do, and a lot of other people do, too. That includes someone I considered a friend who called me a flip-flopper at our children’s school on Tuesday morning, just hours after revelers in the Philadelphia suburbs apparently torched stuff and punched a police horse in the name of sporting victory. (Gooder times!)
He wasn’t alone, either!
So, with no further ado, here are the 10 highlights of reader reactions to my evolution on the issue of utmost importance to a generation of Delaware Valleyans.

Oh, and Villanova isn't in Philly. It's in Radnor Township, PA. Ask @BrianPHickey https://t.co/nXYAC2sCKU

@BrianPHickey You, sir, are a man of your convictions. Until you're not. Totally get it.

@thephillyvoice After that sour grapes commentary to the contrary you made before the Final Four win? #bandwagonjumper #comeonman

@thephillyvoice It takes a big man to admit he was hopelessly, disgustingly ignorant and wrong about everything. Congrats. @brianphickey

Fine. Can we at least charge them and their fans the non-resident wage tax while they’re here? https://t.co/w9uS4X0pfs

@BrianPHickey question is, will you go?

Couldn’t agree more, Michelle. Couldn’t agree more. So, enjoy your celebrations, fans of the Villanova Wildcats of Radnor Township, Pennsylvania. Just don't punch Philly's horses, kids. They kick back.
