not trying to make excuses for the loses. With that SOS though, we are probably the best 3 win team in the FCS right now...

Surely no one thinks Elon should be challenging the top teams in the nation yet. So it's quite expected to lose to ranked teams. Yes, we have lost in glorious fashion, but a loss is a loss.
I think it's safe to say we've taken a step up. And depending on the outcome of the next two games, it could be a significant step up.

Elon is a great addition to the CAA and we're lucky to have you. You fielded a young team (51% of your roster are freshmen anf redshirt freshmen). Give it time...We've all experienced the ups & downs the Conference offers.

thanks for the kind words tribal. You are just seeing a frustrated fan base that saw one coach take us from a nationally ranked team to a bottom feeder. We all want to see our team back where it was.

CC should get the start and if the game is close in the 4th quarter, I like our chances with him at the controls...of the to he has experience pulling out wins in close games (GW and Towson)

[br We were already on the way down before swepson took over check the record. I admit I was ready For Swepson to go. He was not invested in the community but our current coach is all smoke and mirrors. Don't believe me ask one of the few upperclassmen who are left

What exactly do you mean by this statement?

Don't expect any explanation. Each post from him attacks a coach. I checked. Each and every post.

First off Homer everyone knows you are somehow attached to the current staff. Where were all your posts before Sckrosky showed up. Second I admitted that I thought swepson should go. He clearly treated players better than the current coach though. Lastly smoke and mirrors means he acts one way to the public but treats the players like crap. This included verbal abuse interference with academic progress when he thinks it benefits his objectives and only God and the players know what else Now if you really want to know details ask a veteran player that you trust. He would need to be on the offensive side to know some of what I'm talking about. Hell Sckrosky told the players he wasn't a good son because he didn't put priority on it. He said he didn't want kinds because they didn't fit into his goals. He is is a narcissist

Not defending coaches or players, just seems strange to say that unless the issue goes back to PT, which we have already discussed ad nauseam. Go Phoenix!

Just noticed that Toogood is listed as out for the season? Does anyone know what his injury is?

Lets tap the breaks a little. Everyone has their opinions. I have talked to people that are "in the know" that have stated the upper classmen have been mistreated. While some of this comes from a new coach moving in a different direction from the previous staff some could stuff could of been handled differently. Its a learning process, and none of us have all the details. We have a ways to go and still a lot of rebuilding to do but Skrosky in two years has us back somewhere between Sweepsons first and second year(Win Total).
