No one is going to dump more money into an AEast team. Very little ROI. Let's wait and see what happens.

What a weird statement by the SoCon on Elon leaving. The SoCon comish also literally said: "They're your problem now CAA" on the teleconference.

So is it a final official decision somewhere?

I'd go even further to say there are ZERO other stepping stones available to us. And there won't be for a very long time if we pass this up. Is the University (not just the athletic dept, but the entire university) ready to step up?

Haha. I'm not even sure I knew it was a poll thread.

He's the last guy I'd be getting quotes from.

I guess that he wasn't sold on the CAA.......... Nice stretch Jeff. He's going to the SEC to be in charge of the SEC network for Arkansas. He probably got a major raise.

Not wasting any time. Goal posts going up now.

Looks like the turf is completely done. Visitors side is coming along nicely as well.

I still can't figure out why they chose to show us only up four against St. Francis late in the fourth quarter. It's probably a dig by a North Dakota State fan. Dak-tronics

Yes - a very large one in the south endzone (opposite the grass berm) - 21.5 feet tall by 38 feet wide. http://www.daktronics.com/Company/NewsReleases/Pages/DaktronicsFirstOutoor15-SMD.aspx

The sod on the endzone hill looks great. It seems like a no-brainer but the fact that they put a sprinkler system in place just shows they're not shortcutting anything. The little things make such a huge difference.

I think Ruler is saying we need to go into ODU at 4-0 My prediction - a tall order for sure. @ Duquesne - W @ Colgate - W vs. Rhode Island - W vs. CCSU - W @ ODU - L @ JMU - L @ Delaware - W vs. Towson - L @ Richmond - L vs. Maine - W vs. UNH - W @ SBU - L OK prediction overall, but I would not concede SBU. We always play them tough and I do not think they are that far ahead of us. Should be a very interesting year. SBU is a very very good team. I think we can get to 7 wins a number of ways. 7 wins would also probably make the playoffs this year as they are expaded to 24 teams and a lot of perennial powers (App Stat, Georgia Southern, ODU) are no eligible due to FBS moves.

Very valid point dslyank.

We'll have to wait and see. Like we've said all along - making a move for the sake of moving is short-sited. If the money is there to make an all out committment to athletics then the CAA could benefit us. There is no sense in going to the CAA and having the same athletic department as we have now. The AEast/CAA Football is fine for now to have a $15-18m budget.

Tough loss to watch, especially since Lyle didn't et the record as well. I don't know much about lacrosse, but it seemed to me that they were pressing too much on offense and didn't move the ball. Lyle got very limited touches in the second half.

thanks that's awesome Coach Ford hand writes thank yous to every person that donates a $1 to the football program. Class Act all the way.

I would think once they get the "skin" on the concourse then they probably won't need the geenie lifts under there anymore.

Looks like windows are going up today.
