This Saturday Elon is facing ASU in another football encounter. I know this thread will be bombarded by the Mountaineer faithful. but However there are other fan bases out there in FCS land that do not pull for the Apps. In fact some folks out there could benefit from an Elon victory. We are due. Let me list a few incentives.
We have not beaten this school in football since 1964. That goes back to the LBJ administration
That should be enough.
At 5-5 We do have the opportunity to have a winning season and are fresh off the upset win at Furman. Several school's should be pleased at that as well.
We just need to exorcise this demon off our soul. For the sake of fairplay & the stability of price of Peanut Butter in the free market. . A lot of scenarios open up with an Elon win.
We need your help!!! Just add your well wishes below.

Elon beat Furman. App didn't. The SoCon officials in Rhodes are hard to beat. Elon considers App a rival. App considers Elon a rival after WCU, GSU, Furman, Wofford and even ECU. I haven't checked but I think an Elon win makes them 6-5. A loss makes them 5-6 if memory serves correctly.
App is having tremendous problems at the OL.
The Phoenix will be trying to stop a losing streak vs ASU that goes back to 1964. It's easy to see who will be most motivated.

Personally, I'm looking forward to another game at Rhodes Stadium. If the App team that played GaSo shows up, it could be a long day for the Phoenix. That's a pretty big "if". App has not played stellar football outside of KBS this year.

Elon is playing for a winning season (currently 5-5). App is playing for a playoff spot and, hopefully, first round bye. Both teams have lots to play for.

I was struck in 2009 with the SoCon title on the line by the Elon students leaving in droves about half-time. It seems the Greeks had scheduled formals or some such for the same night. Hopefully, both fan bases will stay until 0:00 cheering for their teams this year.

See you at Elon. GO APP!!!!!!

Not exactly. We had a ton of fans at Furman, The Citadel and VT (Wofford is the one game I have not attended this year, so I cannot speak to that). Proportionately it is more because your stadium holds about 5-10K less than FU and The Citadel but we travel pretty well regardless.

Personally, I consider every SoCon team a rival. I may get a little more fired up for GSU but any conference game is huge.

It's been a "week of upsets" for Elon:

Win at #17 Furman
Men's Soccer wins the SoCon title
Men's basketball beats South Carolina

It would be nice to see the trend continue to this weekend.

Here's to a good game. Safe travels to all making it over to Rhodes.

Lembo and Hudgins, no. Riddle, yes and I can get El Citadel fans to vouch for us.


your fans continue to talk about knees

Then your players should have intentionally tried to injure Armanti's knee two years in a row.


your fans continue to make pet names for elon

That doesn't make you any more special than the Furballs, Little Sammy, the Ankle Biters, Smelly, the Cant-Amounts, the Bellhops or the Moccasins


your fans come to elon in numbers that you don't see anywhere else but western carolina

We have thousands of alumni on Tobacco Road. It's the easiest commute to any away game for the majority of our fanbase.

Making t-shirts for Elon. Someone mentioned this on the MMB and got laughed off the board.

ASU travels well to all games. Elon is closer for ASU's eastern NC alumni so yep they travel well to that game. ASU has more alumni in the triangle than Elon does.

I can't comment on whether a loss to Elon would hurt worse than a loss to a rival because it hasn't happened in my lifetime. I do know that a loss to Elon in basketball isn't as tough a loss as it is against DC, WCU, UTC, or even CofC.

This is Elon's best chance at a win probably ever, even the 2009 season. I hope they look better on the road than they have the rest of the season, reminds me of 2004.

I'm guessing somewhere near the top for them since their panties get in such a tight wad whenever we say they're not rivals. They're purely rivals in a conference sense and I think a lot of App fans always post in "Elon threads" (see post #23) because they talk seemingly talk down to an opponent they've not beaten since 1964. We respond to a lack of respect, not a perceived equal rival.

Oh, right... the game. I hope nobody else forgot that there is going to be a game played today. Personally, I am very excited about it. Elon had a nice win last week and ASU has struggled on the road all year. If we are able to finish up the season with a win on the road, I will feel much more confident about our chances to advance in the playoffs. Should be a good game, I am taking ASU by 6.

Posted 13 hours ago. Let's see... It's 1:25 now, so 13 hours ago was just after midnight last night. Maybe someone started tailgating the night before?

I wouldn't be surprised at all if we lose.

Thanks for chiming in.You're welcome.

But for real, when Elon is playing on top of their game they have looked real good this year and it's not like we're the best road team either.

I consider Elon a rival as I've said before: right behind WCU, GSU, Furman, and Wofford (and even ECU for some App fans)
Yes, many ASU fans make pet names for Elon just as dozens of fans call ASU crappalacian

I care about everry game we play including when Peacock had us playing Mars Hill and Gardner-Webb.
We talk a bout the series that hasn't given Elon a win since the Johnson administration.
We had more at ECU than we had at Elon.

I'm guessing somewhere near the top for them since their panties get in such a tight wad whenever we say they're not rivals. They're purely rivals in a conference sense and I think a lot of App fans always post in "Elon threads" (see post #23) because they talk seemingly talk down to an opponent they've not beaten since 1964. We respond to a lack of respect, not a perceived equal rival.

Extremely well said.

I can't believe I'm going to defend SoCon48, but he did say App considers EU a rival.

I don't need you to defend me.

Actually, no....it's not well said. It's not an accurate statement.......

But, look at the thread I started congratulating App on the win. The lack of respect for the ASU football team basically resides in only 1 fan, not all. Personally (even though I talk smack about past players/incidents), I have great respect for the majority in the App program.

There IS a lack of respect directed at many of your fans because they are douches (with the obvious exceptions of asumike & saint)

Most Elon fans have great respect for the program on the mountain.

you guys spend so much time denying it, it is just too good, we're a rival to you guys

what lack of respect are you talking about, appalachian has too many fans that lie and promote inaccuracies, if correcting these items is disrespect then appalachian fans are in for a hard life

Fc you are a rival behind GSU, Furman, WCU, Wofford, etc. get in line.

Elon fans trying pump themselves up above the current state of their program - ASU fans aren't the only ones in for a hard life.

Even WESTERN has managed to beat us in the last ten years. Sorry bud, Elon is way down on the list of teams that we would consider rivals.

What post are you responding to? If you click the "Reply With Quote" button on the post, it inserts it. Otherwise, it looks like your rambling.

I would agree with Saint that Elon could be a rival, but on down the list. I don't have any real ill-will towards EU, I just want to beat every SoCon team. If that makes EU a "rival," then so be it.
