Perspective
Was just at a bar and over heard an Elon alum bragging that his alma mater almost beat N.C. A&T, knocked off the Citadel, and beat Richmond. I couldn’t resist a chuckle. We’ve come a long way in a short time.

Re: Perspective
To this day I cringe when the name Scott Riddles name is brought up. He is up there with the all time douchebags we have ever played against.
FREQS AND GEEKS!

Re: Perspective
It sounds more like an irrelevant school in a small metropolitan between Greensboro and Raleigh.

Re: Perspective
I have to admit that I was on the fence about moving up originally but this has just been too much fun and I don't even think we've reached our full potential yet!

Re: Perspective
Since when did Elon become a national university? They are listed as one on the latest US News rankings.

Re: Perspective
It is from the Latin word Felon, meaning to attack the knees, especially when losing games.

Re: Perspective
We’ve been very blessed and fortunate that our move up has been as successful as it has been.
That said, looking back at how much main stream attention the FCS gets even in this era of streaming and on demand coverage, we could be a total dumpster fire of a program or play in some low end bowl game and still get more love and exposure than being a juggernaut in the FCS.
I think nowadays it’s the league best known as NDSU’s playground. And it was the right decision. Not that I had any doubts in our team to begin with
