who the fluck is this ..

someone shoot us some info on who these booty clowns are..

[lower14]

Elon University is a 1-AA school from outside of Greensboro, NC. They play in the Southern Conference, which also includes Georgia Southern, Citadel, Furman, and Appalachian State (among others). Lest you think a 1-AA school is going to be a pushover, the Southern Conference is a pretty damned tough baseball conference.

They're riding a pretty good streak, winning 20 of their last 25. The Dogs drew a tough regional, but that's what happens when you're Team 64.

lower 14 div 1-aa only applies to football.. theres no div 1-aa in basketball or baseball.. and no.. i by no means would assume that they would be a pushover...

hell at this point jackson prep could prolly give state a helluva a game..

[jkb87]

ha, good point, but i would prolly go with central private instead, hell, last years central private team and state would really be a good game.........

[bigwater]

hey jkb 87,,

the academy overall baseball tourney, this is a new deal?? how long they been doin this?? who won it this year?? elon college?? bwabwaaa


j/k elon prolly got a pitcher thats got a 1.23 era and a 12-1 record and throws lots of strikes.. if you can get ahead of msu's hitters then we will stuggle mightly to score 4-5 runs..

Elon will be no pushover, played several top teams during the season and hung with them, even won 2 or 3.

I'll get some stats and info when I get a chance. Here's some info on State's 25 man roster for the postseason.
