Will it be Coleman or Wickersham at QB?

Do we wanna run or pass as our primary mode of offense.

Where are Elon’s defensive weaknesses,if there are any.That might dictate who we start,

I would wonder if it matters which way to go if DeGennaro is available. Ellis stepped up last game and other receivers got space and had a few drops.
First thoughts are they are better than their record for sure. They had drives versus Western Carolina of 61 yards that ended in an INT at the WCU 3 yard line and another of 76 yards that ended with a fumble at the WCU 14. That said they lost by 7 and Western Carolina is a good team.

Spiders need a really sound game to beat this team.

Football to Patriot League. Should basketball and rest of sports be concerned?

Death blow to the WCC.

A10 better be proactive about finding great teams to add and seriously consider jettisoning others, or else there will be a break here at some point as well.

Do I trust Hardt to be in the know and proactive about positioning UR? Ummmm.

Hardt has it covered - move to the Patriot League.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see teams from FCS conferences MVFC and/or Big Sky like North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Montana, Montana State join the MWC

I'd think the $5 million transition fee is a big challenge for those schools not named NDSU.

Follow the money. No reason for GU to stay in the WCC if they are a full Pac-12 member. Higher rights fees, more potential in basketball units by the conference with SDSU, Boise, USU and CSU. I did some math and the "new" Pac-12 (including Gonzaga) would have earned 13 credits last year. That's $4.27 million per year for six years ($25+ million). No way does the WCC come close to matching that.

If Gonzaga joins, the Pac just kneecapped both of its top competitors on the West Coast by taking the cream of both conferences in football and basketball.

Utah State is the linchpin for keeping the remnants of the MWC together, and if they go as it sounds like they are, then UNLV will follow them to the Pac-12 and Air Force will join the other academies in the AAC.

The Pac-12 had been targeting Memphis, Tulane, UTSA and South Florida, but they’ve decided to stick with the AAC.

MWC is about to be in shambles with only Nevada, New Mexico, San Jose State, and Wyoming (plus football-only Hawaii) left.

Also, it appears Gonzaga to the Pac-12 is not the done deal McMurphy thought it was. Not dead, but not done either.

Elephant in the room. With the expense of 63 full rides, how long does the Brass accept abysmal attendance? Love Spider football, even more than basketball, but the program as virtually all FCS programs is bleeding money.

The zenith of our football program nationally was a few decades ago when we routinely competed with the "Big Boys." Now, the Big Boys are in the process of stiff arming mid level basketball programs too.

Sad state of affairs.

The athletic department and the school in general do nothing to promote athletics locally. It's their own making.

Fire alarm used to go off all the time in Gray Court back when I was in school. Gray court has been through a lot over the years and could use a shower….

In all seriousness, glad everyone was reported safe and hopefully the process of reimbursement of damaged items will happen swiftly.

Who are good teams that we would want to join the A10 and who would also be interested in joining? Charleston is one. Maybe Wichita State and bringing Temple back, if the AAC implodes. Bradley, Indiana State, or Belmont seem like too big of a stretch to me. With the likely addition of Charleston and UMass leaving, we will be at 15 teams. I think the A10 is a pretty stable conference all things considered. Only other conference teams would realistically leave the A10 for is the Big East.
