Elon needs to host a round robin with UNCG, High Point, A&T and Us. Why would we want to play High Point, it's the one game students would love to show out for, and it makes too much logistical sense.

It is a very interesting looking arena. I would say it is a bigger overall building obviously and it looks to be a lot more detailed from the outside perspective in these pictures anyway. Let's be honest, it looks very High Point. This would be a great time to play home and home with HP. Also, they get two new turf rec fields... it took us years just to get a turf field for football practice let alone rec fields. but it is a computer concept drawing, HPU has followed us or copied us in so many way the last 15 years, just saying Higher Education is a big time money grab as ALL have experienced. You post these facilities drawing from other school's like We do not have anything going on. It is BS All BS God Bless Nido Quebein but HPU is ALL about his EGO. Nuff Said Dude, honestly not sure what is wrong with you. I would love for you to go look at when they released the computer concept drawings of the Schar Center and watch people go crazy over them but hey they were just a computer concept drawing so. You might be right that they have followed or copied us but what is wrong with this? And your saying higher education is a money grab which includes Elon.... I never said Elon had nothing going on, was just showing you what a school who is nearby us and probably recruits against is doing which as a fan is not a bad thing to know about. And maybe you are right but he has donated over $10 million to the school, turned into something it wasn't before as well as increased enrollment, added faculty and staff. None of this is a bad thing. So please stop.

It's really too bad HPU doesn't have football and isn't in our conference. They would be a whale of a sports rival. It certainly seems obvious that HPU has used us as a model in many areas, but I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. There are obvious differences such as they have a pharmacy school, we have a law school. They have an immaculately groomed and landscaped campus, we have a more heavily wooded & green campus. There are too many other comparisons & contrasts to discuss here. One really huge observation I've made though is each has made the other better. Elon can't let down their "guard" because HPU is likely to sprint by.
I took the suggestion & read up a little on Qubein. Seems like a pretty impressive guy to me. He is completely self made. He has made his millions by serving others. He has personally donated in the 8 digit millions to HPU, and has raised well into the 9 digit millions since he's been their president. The reason the new facility is named after him is that their board of trustees unanimously voted to honor him for all he has done for HPU. I say more power to him.

With this non-conference schedule, what do you think our record will be when we kick off CAA play? Nov. 6 8:30 p.m. @ Manhattan Nov. 9 TBD North Carolina Nov. 15 7:00 p.m. Milligan Nov. 22 3:00 p.m. PT vs. Abilene Christian# Nov. 23 8:00 p.m. PT vs. UC Riverside# Nov. 24 8:00 p.m. PT @ Pacific# Nov. 27 7:00 p.m. Central Penn Dec. 1 7:00 p.m. Boston University Dec. 4 7:00 p.m. Furman Dec. 7 7:00 p.m. UNCG Dec. 16 2:00 p.m. Canisius Dec. 18 7:00 p.m. @ Kennesaw State Dec. 22 2:00 p.m. CT @ UMKC
I would say maybe 8-5 if things go our way but could 5-8. I think there are a lot of toss up games.

We won many 1 to 2 point games early then totally imploded to end the season. I have no clue but I hope they play hard vs the Globetrotters, I love the water bucket stunt.
