Furman vs. Elon & UT Arlington (Nov. 26 & 27)

[apaladin]

I think the next 3 games will tell a lot about this team. I really think we could win all 3 but could lose all 3. However I expect us to be competitive in all 3.

For those interested in the UT-Arlington game, the Elon ticket office told my son that it’s a non ticketed event. Admission is free.

As CollegeInsider.com doesn't include the Mountain West, A10, or CUSA schools, comparing apples to apples Furman rises to fifth in the MMM poll. More noteworthy, unlike CollegeInsider.com, MMM lists FU ahead of Bowling Green, Northern Iowa, & Liberty.

Looks like we want get to watch either game unless you want to pay. The Elon game is on something called Flo Sports but it costs $12.95 a month but you can cancel at anytime. Sound like a racket, LOL. Looks like no TV at all for UTA.

I take it for granted that so many of our games are on ESPN3/+. I just assumed I'd be able to watch the Tuesday game, but I'm not signing up for whatever Flo Sports is. Turns out the SoCon does some things better than other conferences after all.

I'm so confused at what the CAA is getting out of this deal. I can't imagine the subscription total makes up for not getting the same amount of eyeballs that ESPN3/+ would.

VegasInsider opened with FU by 14 and currently FU by 15. That feels excessive and I’m guessing it’s swayed by Elon’s current 4- game losing streak, even though their opponents included Michigan, No. Carolina, & Ga Tech. Their latest loss was a close one to Manhattan. I think setting the bar for FU at 15 on Elon’s turf is a bit much.

The fact that Furman has recent record of beating the point spread when favored may have something to do with that.
