Speaking of the SoCon, I hear west carolina got stomped by UTC this past Saturday (51-0). Couldn't have happened to a better bunch!NewApp wrote:Elon is o-fer in the CAA.Couldn't have happened to a better bunch!
You're right. Actually that 51-0 shut out is worse than when the Noogas hung 70 on us that time back in the day.WataugaMan wrote:Speaking of the SoCon, I hear west carolina got stomped by UTC this past Saturday (51-0).

Yes, once upon a time back in the day (30+ years ago). But, not today (last Saturday). By the way, we've more than paid them back over the years.NewApp wrote:You're right.

Careful....That's considered Blasphemy by some around here.
You may be right, but I'd bet a dollar to a donut that we wouldn't have gone 4-8.appvette wrote:What we're seeing in the SoCon is a big reason why we had a winning record in 2012 which gave fans the perception Satterfield took a good team and went 4-8 the following year.

There's no way to know but there would have been a very good chance we would have went 4-8 if we hadn't lucked into a weak schedule and if Sean Price hadn't bailed us out several times.

We were lucky to have a winning season due to two factors that are no longer around: a bunch of weak teams on the schedule (compared to their traditional strength) and Sean Price. We beat Montana by one score at home during their only losing season in 27 years. This absolutely would have been a loss if Montana had been their normal selves. Same with the Furman game... we beat them at home by only 5 points and they were 3-8. Any average Furman team from the 90s or 2000s would have spanked us. Then look at the Samford and GA Southern games. Price bailed us out on both of those games to give us 3 point wins. I'm positive we don't win either of those games without Price's last second miracle TD against Samford or the 231 yards against GSU. We were also embarrassed at home by the Citadel 52-28 .
I don't consider myself knowledgeable enough to agree or disagree with those prognostications. But evidently you can do so.appvette wrote:Do you disagree with anything I said?
