The Unofficial Furman Football Page

How do you like it? Looks pretty good to me.

Looks good so far, but I only looked at it 2 minutes.
Glad we’re keeping it up-to-date and improving.

Certainly was needed. Our website was well behind other athletic programs.

I like that we can pull up a player on the roster, see their stats, and scroll through photos of them.

Click on "Facilities" and check out the (parenthetical) sport next to Latham Baseball Stadium. Oops! Someone didn't proofread this. I don't know who is responsible for this, but I recently found an error on one of the Alumni pages. I wrote an email to the alumni association and it was corrected almost immediately, on a weekend, no less.

Would it be Hunter Reid’s responsibility? Chandler Simpson, Asst SID/Director of Social Media? Ben Mathey or Carly Rose in Athletics Marketing?
Glad you have pointed this out, Flagman.
An understandable typographical error that obviously escaped proofreading.
Not a big deal, but it needs to be corrected immediately.
Thanks to you for making contact to get whatever the matter was on the Alumni pages of the website.
Thanks also for shining the light on this error in the new Furmanpaladins.com website.

I emailed Hunter Reid pointing it out to him. He responded to me positively within <3 hours (on a weekend night !!!! Wow, impressive !)

Fixed! Little things like this reflect poorly on Furman's reputation for excellence. I'm not going to mention the outdated information on some of the Paladin Club's pages.

seems like PC has been going downhill ever since Clint Hill left.

I think that the site looks great with one area of exception. I think that the photos in the Facilities section look horrible. PS is such an impressive facility yet one little mini photo looks incredibly inadequate. How about a few larger pics that better convey this impressive facility. The same gripe actually goes to the other venues as well. Both the soccer and baseball stadium photos are the same mini unimpressive display. This is an area of the site where lots of recruits and parents gravitate to early on when they know little or nothing about FU. While are facilities are very impressive in person, this web site is doing us no favors.

Keep in mind that I'm talking about the stadium. While the Pearce-Horton indoor photos are ok, we need some real gameday pics of PS on a nice fall day. Of course we need to choose carefully so the stadium does not look empty.

Those are the same pictures from years ago. It doesn't look like they added any new photos. Some inside pics of Timmons from this past season would certainly impress recruits.

Yep, the one of Timmons is with the old floor and the one of Latham is an old one without the new seats.

While we're pointing things out, Luke Siflett no longer has a position. He was a QB last week.

No inside knowledge, but FUBeAR speculates that we’ll see a “WR” or, possibly, an “S” beside that name before 8/31/19.

I think that's possible but seeing that he came for a chance to play QB, I would expect him to go into camp as a QB. I guess a tell will be if it remains blank or the all-inclusive "ATH" is plugged in there.
