Love the way Rafferty posts up & ‘feels’ the pressure on one hip or the other and spins away from it. That’s the way my Dad taught me to play inside. Worked great as a 6’0” 8th grader...not quite so well as a 6’2” high schooler in basketball-crazy NC...even with a much bigger body, FUBeAR still got ‘packed’ regularly. 6’8” would have been SWEET.

Charles Barkley could do it with the elite at only 6’4” though. I know his bio says he’s 6’6”. I was fortunate enough to have dinner and spend an evening with Mr. Barkley quite a few years ago...honestly, I don’t think he was much taller than FUBeAR. I’m ‘giving him’ 6’4”. BTW - he was hilarious AND a perfect gentleman the entire evening.

Addendum - Ha...I just looked it up...seems his good buddy, Tiger Woods (and others), agree with FUBeAR’s assessment... “[When] Barkley questioned [Tiger] Woods' listed height of 6-foot-2, Woods responded by saying, "every program said you were 6-6. you're no more than 6-4 on a good day."

About Us

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
