There are definitely some kids who are like that, however, I believe a lot of it comes down to how the coach treats academics. At Elon, Lembo treated academics as the most important thing for his players. The coaches did breakfast checks to make sure they were up and then class checks to make...

Agree 100%. That would be very interesting to hear. Many times the kids who are exceptions succeed because someone finally has taken the time to truly invest in their academics rather than just pass them through the system because they are a star athlete on the high school level. More than...

Don't know the answer of the first one off the top of my head. But Swepson never moved from Raleigh. That irked a lot of boosters and even some administrators. He came in thinking he was going to win right away and move on after a year or two. He didn't realize how much is involved in running a...

Elon fell into the crapper because Jason Swepson was the biggest joke of a HC you have ever seen. No plan in place, no discipline, never even moved to Elon/burlington. No sense of community involvement. Had no respect of the players. He was a mess of a HC.

Bateman would really be the only candidate to end up at Elon from that group. Skrosky will go where Pete goes.

FWIW Ball State was down 7 with under 4 min vs NIU. Went for it on fourth down didn't get it. NIU went to run up the score and add a late td instead of running out the clock. Then BSU qb threw a pick 6 on the last play of the game. It was very close all game and the score was a lot bigger than...

As has been mentioned earlier. Skrosky has no desire to be a HC. He just wants to be an OC and is Pete's guy. He will go where Pete goes. Bateman (DC) is more likely to get a shot at being a HC.

Ditto at his time at Elon. It is what he is all about. And it is why he needs to be the guy for Wake. If not he very well might end up at another ACC school and Wake will regret it.

In regards to Pete being a dick... He has a sarcastic personality at times and really can push buttons to get what he thinks is best for his program. If he thinks he needs something to make his program better, he will go out of his way to make sure that happens. Often times that can rub...

Absolutely they are all factors, but are those factors worth the 33 strokes we finished behind Duke?

Look for UNCA to promote from within. I'd highly doubt Rusty getting a shot up there.

Well if you are going to include D-2 WSSU (who was upset in the first round), you might as well throw in Livingstone (Salisbury, NC), Barton (Wilson, NC), Wingate (Wingate, NC), Belmont Abbey (Belmont, NC), and UNC Pembroke (Pembroke, NC). Barton is the only one who is still playing in D-2 NCAA...

Also, George Nessman is out at San Jose State.

I've heard Corbean mentioned for Campbell three weeks ago. I personally don't know if I believe it due to the lack of success that we've had the past few years, but it came from a good source inside the business.

Matheny was lead recruiter on Steph Curry at Davidson. Next year is his year to win at Elon with the four juniors going to be seniors (barring anyone hiring him away next year). They will probably be the favorite to win the SoCon. He is a high-energy but not over the top. He is extremely...

If you want to really get out of the way for one night's dinner, you should go down to Saxapahaw and hit up the General Store. If you are here for multiple nights that is. For just one night's dinner, I would go with one of the other suggestions like Green Valley Grille, 1618, or Liberty Oak.

Get some Carne Asada Fries or a California Burrito from somewhere...El Indio is good for that. Check out Carnita's Snack Shack too. Any place that has a pig statue on the roof of a literal shack is a good sign. The Pork Sandwich there is awesome. So is the Poutine. Check out a vineyard and...

Furman is 3-7 and UNCG is 2-7. These are not good SoCon teams right now. UNCG might have a chance by the end of the year, but neither has been good at all this year. This schedule is about to change in a hurry.

Oh boohoo, didn't mean to strike a nerve. Elon's coach has done some really good things with that program and soccer is one of those sports where you can have a better program at a lower level school. I'm not saying that their program and history are better than Wake, but maybe just this year...
