FUBeAR recently read how 1 Furman Athletics Hall of Fame Member characterized these nicknames / usages…
“A Paladin is a Bad Ass! A Din is his baby brother!”
Seems fair. FUBeAR is, his own self, a baby brother, so he believes those 2 characterizations are not mutually exclusive. More about chronology than awesomeness.
Know another FU Hall of Famer who can’t stand the term SoCon vs. Southern Conference.
FUBeAR don’t care ‘bout either of those. Call ‘em what ya like.
Just need to stay (primarily) with white Football helmets and the <F> logo and he’s a happy online persona.
