Why play Manchester??

[titannc]

Just curious as to why Elon played Manchester. They are a D III team.....and not a very good one at that. I can understand wanting a pretty sure win this time of the season but.....I think Cummings HS would have given that team a run for their money.

True, but essentially we needed a scout team that we didn't know to help to knock the rust off. Would've been nice to have a better team, but the logic was there. Hopefully they are in prime condition for Princeton. After that it's on to conference play.

OK, this is trivia ... bar bet stuff. Which current former all American and now D 1 coach got his coaching start at Manchester? Answer, Steve Alford, fro Indiana, now coach at New Mexico. His dad and I were frat bros
