Scouting Samford

[FUBeAR]

*Mike Seidel

Jim Cantore is a Roswell guy, so he must not be inaccurately maligned.

Biggest scouting issue right now is whether or Samford can successfully travel through the storm to get to the game.

Valid Point but I lived through the absolute worst of Hugo - didn't think about that. We didn't have power for SIX weeks.. didn't attend High School for 7 weeks !! this in Atlanta is NOTHING compared to Hugo. NOTHING. In the bend of Florida... sure. I hope everyone there is safe !! But all they - Sammy - has to do is go north a little bit. This is piddly compared to Hugo. No one in Atlanta is gonna be out of school for 7 weeks. We didn't start back to school until November. We ate well - neighborhoods came together and we Grilled for the whole month as everything in the freezer was going bad

My father was National Guard and they couldn't get to the National Guard base for weeks... THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A HIGHER STORM SURGE THAN HUGO ON THE ENTIRE EAST COAST. EVER.

The big issue with this storm is going to be power outages. This is going to be our storm of the century.

This ominous statement from the NWS speaks to how serious this storm is for our area.
"*URGENT MESSAGE* This will be one of the most significant weather events to happen in the western
portions of the area in the modern era. Record flooding is forecasted and has been compared to the floods of 1916 in the Asheville area."

First]. I WISH EVERYONE SAFETY. ESPECIALLY THISE IN FLORIDA AND SOUTHERN/WESTERN GEORGIA

Stay safe. Do what is right for you.

I mean no offense. But after Hugo I literally have GONE to the beach (Pawleys Island) twice during an existing hurricane. Now these were - I admit -Just Category 1s. After Hugo it has to be a category 2 for me to really think of it as much.

So by Atlanta with category 1 … I mean I don’t exactly get the concern.

I see the ominous warning from GSP. “ this will be one of the most significant weather events in the modern era for western portions of the Carolinas”. I guess we will see. I just think for GSP and ATL north it’s not too much of an issue. Some trees. Some power. But not SIX WEEKS OF NO POWER. day or days maybe.

Those in Tallahassee and big bend area. ABSOLUTELY. BE SAFE
SOUTH AND WEST GEORGIA Some.

Maybe I still can’t get over the Jim Cantore bull from years back where he acted like he was blowing sideways on the street and some dudes were just walking behind him with no problem at all. Lol

The thing is the weather channel is great to help us with these things. Great. But the Weather Channel ALSO LOVES THESE DAMN STORMS. NOTHING CREATES RATINGS FOR THE WEATHER CHANNEL LIKE A MAJOR CRISIS. Weather channel “never waste a crisis !!!”

I MEAN NO OFFENSE. NONE.

Though “storm of the century”? Last time I heard that it snowed 3 inches.


Everyone stay safe !!!!!!

For the Upstate, Western NC, and NE Georgia, there has never been a storm like this one. As I hear trees fall and see flashes of power from downed power poles go down, the next 4 to 5 hours are going to be scary. Praying for all in the path of this storm.

Did this on AGS - with nice tables and such. Prolly looks like crap here - not gonna edit / clean up …. but maybe some can decipher and draw / discuss interesting inferences from this data…

QB Matchup

Toss-up? Probably. But…the fact that any FU QB is a “toss-up” with a Samford QB, with the usual astronomical numbers Samford QB’s put up, is …
ADVANTAGE: Furman


Top RB’s Matchup

Myion Hicks FU 4 35 151 1 2 4.3 36.8
Grant Robinson FU 4 36 76 2 0 2.1 19.0

Nothing interesting to see here, as far as FUBeAR is concerned. Both Teams need a field trip to St. Vincent’s of Lambeau where they should beg for forgiveness at the Altar of the Green & the Gold.
ADVANTAGE: Youth Football Private Quarterback Coaches

BTW - The current Starting QB for St. Vincent’s Green Bay Packers is a Roswell Hornet. Shoutout to the Killa Bees! Back when he wore the Kelly Green & White, we let him chunk it around a little bit, but we still ran the dang Football… A LOT … and WELL!!

See “QB Matchup” above for narrative. Samford…2 Passing TD’s to their Top 4 Retrievers in 3 games. That’s ground for declaring a State of Emergency in Homewood!
ADVANTAGE: Furman


*May add Top Defense Players comparison to this later … may not.
