It's also the money. Attending college football games is expensive. Tickets, parking, concessions, athletic fund (Iptay, etc.) requirements just to purchase tickets.

Interest in playing or watching football is dropping. It is dropping fastest among the kids who are most likely to go to college and someday have the resources to do the full football Saturday experience. They might play Madden and watch a few minutes of a game here and there, but they probably won’t continue the all day, expensive, tailgate, game, fight traffic tradition. The days of huge crowds are probably numbered.

The younger generation has gotten used to instant news and instant gratification. There is no way they will sit through a 3 hour football game that has too many stoppages for tv commercials. Put a fork in baseball too.

About Us

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
