Another plus: Oxford & Williamsburg are excellent Road Trips.

Should we get a spot in the Grove? There's a company called Take it to the Grove that can run in and set it all up then text the exact location of tent. Only we'd prolly need to get them a Furman tent.

One would hope that FU and/or FU Alumni Association and/or FU Athletics Fund and/or the FFPA would do that in a big(ger) way. FUBeAR attended the PC @ Ole Miss game in 2014 and the Blue Ho's laid out a nice spread under a big tent in The Grove for their Alumni, Football Parents, and Fans. Surely, FU won't let that little PFL-school down in Clinnon show us up, will we?

Groovy. But when it gets closer use your connections to make sure they're doin something. If not old Furmanoid will spring into action.

Yep. Back in the dark ages when Williams coached basketball, I remember a great trip to Williamsburg.

I made a reservation at the Williamsburg Lodge. Looks like most hotels in Oxford are booked.

I did speak with the ticket office yesterday and I know there will be blocks for both games. I did not ask about the Grove/Tents etc. I expect to talk with them again in a couple weeks and I'll try to see what I can learn.

Update: Hearing through Grapevine that Spring Practice will now begin Thursday, Feb. 22.

Unsure of the Spring practice schedule and Spring game date is tentative. It has not officially changed but cannot confirm it is going to stay where it is (March 16).

Has to be difficult to sort all this given what has happened but gotta move forward.

Have been to W'burg, but never to W&M or their stadium. Is it a nice place?

FYI that video is 8 years old. I went by their stadium a few years ago, looked nice. Btw the game at UT in 2026 is set for September 5th so should be the season opener.

I went by W&M stadium about 16 months ago. It looked nice, though not nearly as nice as Paladin Stadium in my humble opinion.

FYI - hearing firmly that Spring Ball starts Thursday the 22nd, and that tentatively the Spring Game is holding for March 16.

I think a good turnout for Purple White would be a nice way to show support.

Interesting that there is no change to the scrimmage date.
