It always throws me off when they say signed...

I know.  There's still some confusion, even among sports reporters, about the nuances of DIII - especially at the small town paper/website level.  Anyway, he says he's going to be a Quaker. 

In theory I suppose someone in his family signed the first of many checks...

Sort of a perverse twist on "pay for play" ...

In addition to West Stokes HS players Furr and Spainhour (see above), three Guilford recruits mentioned in this article.  Jacob Snow is from my alma mater, North Surry HS, plus players from Carroll County, VA (Austin Horton) and Greenville, NC.

tfa, Nov. 2 ... hmmm, sounds like a plan!  The best place to set up is behind Dana Auditorium which is adjacent to Armfield, but that lot fills up awfully early with reserved seat holders.  Let me work on a spot - probably along the drive behind English Hall and Hege-Cox Hall.  A great spot with room to tailgate on the grass.  The stadium is very close and you can watch the players walk by from the gym to the field.  It would be great to mingle with the Tiger faithful ... just be kind if you're kicking our butt!  This losing to HSC thing is getting old.  lol

I'm pretty sure Guilford's OOC schedule the past few years has been dictated by lower travel costs and rivalries that are hard to change.   Let's face it, Greensboro is 5 miles away, Averett is right across the state line in Danville, Methodist is a couple of hours away in Fayetteville and trips to Buena Vista (SVU) did not require overnight stay.  Besides, during the last decade, Guilford was looking for a chance to win, not a decimation by a top team.

With that said, I have heard some rumblings of another opponent in the AU slot after this season.

Any late breaking GC recruiting news ? I still have not heard a word from HSC on this front other than what my son tells me and that's not much !!!

No, not lately.  I've been following ODAC baseball and lacrosse, so not any news from football. 

By the way, congratulations to GCQ's women's lax for going undefeated in the ODAC regular season (first time it's happened).  With only 15 players (you start 12), it was quite an accomplishment.  They lost 14-13 to W&L in the ODAC semifinals with only 14 players as one of the "iron-15" had a broken collar bone.  At 15-2, it was quite a season.

Also, congratulations to the GCQ golf team on their 13th ODAC championship and a berth in the upcoming NCAA tournament.

Y'all may or may not have heard this, but Wabash and Hampden-Sydney are playing a home-and-home series in 2014-2015.  Really cool interregional play...should be a couple of fun, competitive games.

Are these two the only all-male colleges in the USA?
