I may end up eating these words, but I feel good about today.

I was thinking this morning about how battle tested we are.

This is our 10th game. This will be our 4th ranked FCS opponent (ETSU, Samford, UTC, and Mercer). This is Mercer's 10th game, and we will be only their second ranked FCS opponent. Throw in Clemson and half of our schedule has been against ranked teams.

Mercer's a tough road venue, but we've played in tough road venues this year. We have won at night in Johnson City. We won in Charleston twice. We played Clemson in their home opener. We've got a veteran group and today will not be anything we haven't seen before.

Mercer is a very good football team. We don't have the talent advantage to play poorly and win. However, if the team that showed up against UTC shows up again today, I like our chances of a statement road win.

Go get 'em

if the Mercer team that showed up against UTC shows up again today, chances are Furman will have a 3 score+ road win.

My predictions about the outcome today (reminder: not good) remain as previously stated, and the same is true of my prediction about us not getting into playoff. (I hope today gives further proof of my ignorance.) But, barring injuries or the like, we WILL beat Wofford and end up with a significantly better season record than I expected and predicted.

TV coverage is awful...
Everything is terrible. The sound, the camera’s are wobbling, and Yannity is the worst. The SoCon should be embarrassed. By the way, where are the fans?

Yep. 100%. Virtually unwatchable.

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
