To be fair, I've heard of Elon, as opposed to Grand Canyon University or whatever the name was of the school UK smacked around their first game.

Teams can schedule and beat up whoever, my only caveat being that they can't let up, must beat them by 50, and laugh at them as they leave the arena.

Basil Hayden posted:I will quote my GDT post because it's my favorite thing about Elon (and also almost all of what I know about Elon): The funniest thing about being an Elon alum (and that) is that there are so many people who are furious that Elon couldn't keep that logo when we went D I. Except that the Fighting Christians mascot and nearly every other logo save that make it very clear that we were trying to get away with a palette swap of Notre Dame's logo for over a hundred years. The true reasoning behind the Fighting Christians mascot was when they played Guilford (a Quaker school) and Elon students started fighting the Quaker fans in the stands and the lone newspaper writer mentioned "Well we got some fighting Christians out here in Greensboro." The reasoning behind the Phoenix mascot doesn't have nearly as a fun backstory, except that the physical mascot looks like the Hokie's strung out cousin.

We'll get a good early season gut check on UGA when they play Gonzaga later this week. From what I've seen so far, they are ahead of where they were last year at this time and are trending to probably finish around where the media predicted in the preseason. I don't think UGA will beat Gonzaga, but they could certainly make it a game if Mann/Gaines/Thornton have solid games.

I think they will because the rest of the SEC sucks unless they play a big time game (per usual) and Florida is missing a bunch of dudes right now.

I wish Zay Taylor hadn't broken his wrist.  Texas and Uconn will be competitive I'm sure, but Kentucky will most likely steamroll us without our point guard/one man fast break.

My worst fear is that IU will hire Brad Stevens and he will win a ton and I will end up defending The Butler Way and stall ball and maybe even liking it. But for now all I can do is refuse to learn where EWU is actually located.

There's a pretty good chance ISU is undefeated come that game as well. Their biggest challenges are tonight against Maryland and at Iowa before conference play starts. ISU plays OSU at home before WVU as well. They should be favored in all of their games up to WVU.

We have LSU at home, NC State in the Gotham Classic and VT, but I don't see us losing more than one of those (NC State in MSG, probs), so it could be a match up of Top 15 teams.

Michigan overcame a poor shooting night outside of the arc by going ham in the lane and getting to the line. Didn't rebound well, but caused turnovers and played tight D. Huh?

I don't know how good they'll be in the grand scheme of things, but Arkansas is pretty fun to watch so far. Very interested to see how they react tonight, playing SMU on the road. I'm a little bummed that we're only playing Kentucky once this year, at least regular season. I really wish that could consistently be a home-and-home every year.
