One Last Ride - Let's not forget the seniors

[AstroDin]

In a season that has focused on Furman's youth - let's not forget our seniors playing their last game in Paladin Stadium.

[AstroDin]

Aaquil Annoor
Harris Roberts
Kealand Dirks
Triston Luke
Jacque Evangelister
Ridge Gibson
Christian Noble
Bradford Lemmons
Diondrae Wright-Linton
Wade Smith
Tyler Voyles*
Reese Vita
Jaylan Reid
Chris Breedlove
Jonathan Brockhorst
Chinedu Okonya
Chris Washington*

* Not sure if Voyles is graduating or trying to get a 6th year. Also, I thought Washington was a junior?
Went back to the 2017 roster and I'm correct Washington was listed as a Sophomore, not sure if this a typo or he's graduating early.

[The Jackal]

I don't want to jinx him, but I think Jaylan Reid is close to 40 starts for his Furman career. I'm not sure how many Paladins have made 40 starts, but I imagine it isn't many.

Bryan Dailer made 46-consecutive starts from 1994-97...finished out career with a SoCon and school single-game record seven sacks in a 43-21 win at Chattanooga.

In The UFFP GoPaladins.com poster category...

I believe oldfrt started 39 games for the Paladins at OT.

Sluggo probably had 34 or so starts at OG.

3 SoCon Jacobs Blocking Trophies among those 2 Paladin OL stalwarts!

20 something for HKB60, I guess & 30-something for AquaLung & Green52.

FUBeAR, due to various injuries & indiscretions, and mostly, due to an abundant lack of talent, only started 21 games (4 at C & 17 at OT) during those ancient years.


BTW - The “UFFP GoPaladins.com Bowl” has been recently sanctioned by the NCAA. It will match the 2 lowest-ranked (avg of Massey & Sagarin) Former SoCon FBS Teams that are “bowl eligible”...or...y’know...get a coveted bowl eligibility waiver from, you guessed it, the NC-double-A. The game will be played in historic Sirrine Stadium and will benefit underfunded college football Message Boards & their Hosts/Owners. As of now, East Carolina (2-5) is in the driver’s seat with an average ranking of 119.5. UNC (1-6) will meet them in a rematch of an early season tilt won by ECU 41-19, as, of today, the ‘Heels have an avg rank of 91.5. But, don’t count out our old favorite, Marshall (5-2). They are on the outside looking in now, with an avg rank of 85.5, but hoping to lose some games down the stretch to qualify for the inaugural event.

Stumpy is this year’s Grand Marshall. Contact him about tickets and sponsorship opportunities.

Sorry, not a thread which should be ‘highjacked’...

While your thread highjacking is clear, I think the "UFFPGoPaladins.com Bowl" is a capital idea. To increase the payout, adding a title sponsor would be a good idea. Therefore, need to work on making the "UFFP GoPaladins.com Bowl brought to you by Pete's On Poinsett" a reality.

And yes, this year's senior class deserves the thanks of Paladin Nation for setting the table for consecutive winning seasons (which is within their grasp). Didn't seem likely a couple of years ago.
