Okay, I know you want to hear my thought after not being at a home football game for 36 years. First the school. Many upgrades since 1984. The student union (I know not called that) really nice. Food court and restaurant on the lake are major improvements. Apartments on campus really nice. Plyer Hall top notch. Freshman girls now live in the old boys dorms. They left the urinals' in the now women's bathrooms. That did not go over well with mom. The Chapel is beautiful. Daughter and Mom really enjoyed talking to actual professors about there department.

Football. Our team is good and may be really good. Crowd much larger than I expected. (Had low expectation). The Paladin on the horse is still strong .
Woodwinds should be bought by Furman and torn down. I am sure Furman could use that land for something.
I got a Furman sweatshirt at the book store. I look forward to wearing it.

Overall great trip and I think our football program is headed in the right direction.

I started this thread by talking about two things that I do not understand. I was reminded of a third on Sunday night. What is the deal with people sitting in a grocery store drinking beer. Is that going on where you live? I do not get it. Enough. Go Furman
I love this. So glad you have so many positive comments, but most of all I love the urinals comment, lol.

My mom/sister had the same discussion on the urinals. Later I found out that often they will switch boy halls & girl halls - hence why the urinals have always remained. Something about gender equality.

My daughter lived in those halls from 2012-2014. I recall the girls made planters out of the urinals.

... but back to football. Congrats on the #7 ranking.

Bootie, go in one of them there fancy grocery stores. :D It's a "thing" now - one of the grocery stores is Whole Foods I think:

"So he headed out to nearby Whole Foods Market. But when he walked in to the new store near Washington D.C.’s booming Navy Yard neighborhood, he skipped the seafood counter and the giant aisle of prepared foods. Instead, he went straight to the bar."

People in NOLA used to swig Dixie Beer on the regular while they made their groceries at Schwegmann’s, back when FUBeAR was doing a part-time ExPat gig in Louisiana in the late 80’s.

Did it back in July at the Garden Spot corner of Altamont and State Park road. Miller lite. Very parched that day.

I hope that the legendary Duke Fisher checked you out that day. Or, in the words of Fred Garvin, I hope he "hooked" you up.

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
