Elon/App Week

[elonpride]

Any expectations for this week?

I guess the good thing is that App traditionally has not played well, coming off a bye week.

As far as expectations on my end, I think conversation in recent threads defines mine.

I hope that we get our first D1 win of the season, I expect I will be getting an early start towards the Beach sat night.

I'm looking forward to the game, although my expectations are not very high. I talked to an App fan that I ran into at a restaurant in Raleigh earlier this week and he was telling me how he thought their play calling has been very predictable so far this year (although it is just 2 games).

I honestly don't know what to expect in this game with Swepson as our coach. At this point I looking forward to some fun tailgating and hopefully a good game.

I wonder if Satterfield and Swepson exchanged game film

[ElonPhan]

Good one, elonpride.

Tomorrow's not going to be pretty on the field. Sure you want to make the short trip?

[elonpride]

BTW, did everyone see Appy had yet another player arrested (aside from Price)? Carrying on a great tradition up on the mountain

Triad Alumni hosting a tailgate in Softball lot starting 2 pm? nice touch for the locals as well.
