When 1 hits the portal ya’ll gonna freak?
Are you?

Even though the portal in its current form has been around for a few years, I think a lot of fans are still adjusting to the fact that we are not promised any of these athletes for more than one year at a time at this point. It’s just my personal belief that some of these transfers hit a little differently at Furman because we had such a good rate of retention for a long time. I think it’s fair if some are upset at the loss of a player they really liked or viewed as important to the future success in of Furman football. That’s what we all care about ultimately.

It’s still early and we’re likely to lose more by the end of December. Hopefully it’s not a big number and we have a little more success in the portal filling whatever needs arise over that time.

i'll be sad but I won't blame him. He is Power 5 good and could get paid to play.

It's a long drive from NOVA and different culturally.

He'd be trading being THE GUY for being "a guy." And trading a lifelong legacy as a great for being forgotten in a year.

But I don't know what he can command on the market with 2 years left.

But yeah, this is the new world order and not only are people coming after our best guys, but our best guys might look around.

If he portals, must his mustache, necessarily, go with him, or can we hold a roster spot for it?

I hope he doesn't. He's a tough, gritty guy.

Unrelated to this thread, but FUBeAR, always one to pay close attention to detail, just realized that “FurmanATT” and “FUATT” are, in fact, 2 different posters.

FUBeAR had noticed significant differences in their posts, but thought, having mentally merged the 2 differing ‘handles,’ that FUATT was, for some curious reason, sharing a TheUFFP ‘handle’ with FurmanATT and never could figger out who FurmanATT, who FUBeAR knows well, was sharing his ‘handle’ with.

Sonofagun…

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Wait...what?! Shoot! I'm not even sure I realized they were two different handles. My brain definitely merged the two together.

See…FUBeAR ain’t the only village idiot round here …

…but at least FUBeAR recognized they tweren’t the same person posting…even with his careless mental merging of their ‘handles.’

Doesn’t mention the mustache. FUBeAR, ever the optimist, is going to assume it’s staying…



Diversity of uniform selections is nice. Strong pics. There are better font choices for the header.

This one hurts. Seems like a great kid, hopefully he ends up at good place but for every Huff like transfer there are 5 more riding the pine at their new dream. Just going to have to accept this new reality but in its current form it is going to hurt all but the biggest/richest programs. The NCAA was derelict and this is the result.

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

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
