The Unofficial Furman Football Page

Anyone know how many tickets were allocated to Furman?

The guys on the noon WCCP show had a good discussion of our game with Virginia. They are pulling for Furman, but know Virginia well. They said the only way to beat Virginia is to put pressure on them as they bring up the ball. Evidently, Virginia loves to slow pace their possessions, to the point of wanting to take an average of 23 seconds before they start their offensive play. The hope is that with the 5th or 6th screen, the defense will wear itself down to the point of giving them an easy basket. I have a feeling that we might just see a little full court pressure from time to time. We have to speed up the game to beat them.

I decided to bring my earbuds so I could listen to Dan while I watch tomorrow's game in Orlando. Hope to hear more of "Foster for 3 from the corner....YES!!!"

So I tested them out on the trip down the interstate. I was listening to the Allman Brothers "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" between Savannah and Brunswick on I95 and I got up to about 90. To slow down I put on "LA Woman" and "Riders on the Storm" by The Doors....MISTAKE.

Got slowed down anyway. My wife thinks I'm crazy. But it's fun to be crazy.

My pregame set tomorrow will include Santana's "Evil Ways, "Black Magic Woman", and "Soul Sacrifice".

To cap it off Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard's version of "Pancho and Lefty".

GO PALADINS!!!

The local media coverage from WYFF has been awesome. It looks like the team is having fun and is loose. It also looks like they are focused on beating Virginia today. Go Paladins!
