Heads up to all: Campbell University is a known Baptist school, and they take it seriously. I dunno if they're free-will or hard-shelled Baptists. Could be hard-shell. I wouldn't put it past them.

Its a beautiful campus, but I beg you to not be fooled. There's more excitement in Furman's Student Center on a Tuesday night than the whole of Campbell University on a Saturday night, including its titular home of Buies Creek North Carolina. In fact, if I was told I had only one week to live I'd move to Buies Creek right away, because every day there feels like an eternity.

The Campbell Camels are not as bad as their 3-9 record from last year indicates. They can put points on the board. Or, they could last year.

Camels humped WCU pretty good up in Cullowhee last year. WCU’s vaunted O did not even cross the goal line at all - only TD they scored was a result of the good fortune they received (Little People involved, for sure) while getting their own FG Attempt blocked!

Regardless of Tex’s inability to discover rewarding social engagement in a college town with 6,000 total students, of which 60% are female; Eastern NC BBQ is available in the area, and partaking of that most high delicacy can be an earth-shaking experience.

More relevant, a native of the general area, FUBeAR bears witness that there is a significant possum population present there, many of which, apparently, prefer to use the abundant 2 lane highways there as their preferred route of ambulatory travel.

Will anxiously await Tex’s full possumry analysis and his anticipated impact that may have on this important road contest for our Paladins against a worthy CAA competitor.

You’re questioning FUBeAR’s journalistic capabilities/accuracy? Very hurtful.

Hi FUBear,

Oh, there's some excellent possumology over yonder in Harnett County, home to Campbell University and their myopic sola scriptura universe. Indeed, Buies Creek is home to world-renowned Slow Poke the Possum.

The Story of Slow Poke the Possum: In 1970, a possum named Slow Poke, found wandering across a Harnett County highway, gained local fame when he was captured and groomed for a beauty contest, winning the title of "Prettiest Possum". After the "Prettiest Possum" competition, there was a public outcry when Governor Bob Scott planned to serve Slow Poke as part of a dinner. Under public pressure, he pardoned Slow Poke, and he was released into Raven Rock State Park in Harnett County. Now, if you think I'm making that up, please Google it. I'm not.

tl;dr - The Camels will be a tough competitor b/c they know possumry.
