Current forecast for next Thursday is sunny and 84 for a high so rain likely, make sure your rain gear is handy. ;)
You jinxed us. It is still a few days out, but the tropical system forming in the Gulf is a little concerning as it keeps shifting left with each computer run. Forecast models have moved it from a track 150 miles east of us to now being only about 50 miles east. Any future shifts west is going to mean heavy rain for us. Just something to keep an eye on for our game.
Yep when they started talking about the tropics 3 weeks ago we knew it wiuld be here Aug. 31. On top of that Chris Justice gave us the kiss of death with a sunny and 78 forecast last night. Weather channel now saying 60% chance of rain. :shock:
You trust a man who's right only around 50% of the time.

No thats why I said he gave us the kiss of death saying it would be sunny, which means rains. Weather Channel now says 71% chance of rain clearing overnight, so just perfect timing to mess up opening night. Dry Friday and Saturday. Of course still 4 days away.

We will be ok. If you download Windy.com you can look at all the different models. The most accurate, the European model, has us dry on Thurs afternoon/eve. The GFS/NOAA model is the one showing some rain. It’s less accurate. Let’s hope that plays itself out that way.

Will Furman have a live band and food trucks in the Fan Zone this year? I haven't seen anything listed about that. If so, I would like to know which food trucks will be there for each game. If not, I need to make food plans. We really have enjoyed the Fan Zone the last couple of years but would like to know before each game what, if anything, will be available. :?: :?: :?:

Go Paladins! I am so excited about this season!

As of tonight the storm appears to going more south so that is good. Little to no chance of rain right now but still 3-4 days to go. May even be cool. Might need a jacket, that is crazy!!

A little bit concerning - Jacob Johanning is not listed on the depth chart.
Neither is McCormick or Maier.

I guess you hope they've been a little banged up and they're just getting some rest versus them being out for a long period of time.

I'm not sure if/when Hendrix will have any media availability before the first game, but I'll be looking forward to an update on those guys.

I mean, the depth chart isn't written in blood, but if someone isn't listed at all, it's usually a pretty good chance we won't see them.

It's a short week, and there may be a few guys banged up that aren't worth risking Thursday.

In case you haven’t seen it, Fan Zone opens at 4PM with a live band(Commodore Fox) and Food Trucks but they are unannounced. I think it’s a secret! 😀

Games Notes: https://furmanpaladins.com/documents/20 ... _Stats.pdf

Been nearly 20 years since we have been this loaded with talent...........
We've got potential, but at this point everything's just on paper.

I am most excited to see our offense incorporate the new-look TE corps. If some of these guys are as advertised, that's going to be a whale of a problem for defenses.
