@ Western Carolina (Jan. 1st)

I just don’t know what the definition of a trap game really is I suppose. I always thought it was just a game the favored team took too lightly and got beaten. Whatever you call it, that seems a danger every game for us now

FYI the records we are chasing for history purposes:

1932 ------ 15-1
1930 ------ 16-1

A.P. "Dizzy" McLeod
Dizzy McLeod was an outstanding football player for Furman and eventual head coach. He was a two-time All-State selection as a back and played on a pair of Furman state championship teams in 1920 and 1921. He served as team captain in 1922. As a sophomore, he starred on a Furman squad that defeated Clemson, 14-0, for the school’s first win over the Tigers in football. Following graduation in 1922, McLeod accepted his first coaching assignment as an assistant on the staff of his former head coach, W.L. Laval. In 1928, McLeod assumed the position of head basketball coach and, over the next five seasons, directed Furman to a 69-17 record — the winningest mark ever recorded by a Paladin basketball coach. Later, after taking over the football head coaching reins in 1932, he directed several outstanding Furman squads, including the 1935 “House of Magic” team that went 8-1 and outscored its opposition 232-44. McLeod’s 1936 team posted a 7-2 mark and claimed the last of Furman’s eight state championships with a 12-0 win over Clemson—a decision that still stands as the school’s last victory over the Tigers in football. McLeod was the first person to receive the school’s prestigious Bell Tower Award in 1968. He was for years a citrus grower in and around Silver Springs and Ocala, Florida. He is also a member of South Carolina’s Athletic Hall of Fame.

Furman favored by 9.5.

Need I say it? Too many points. They only played 11 ooc games. 1-7 against D1. Their only win was Bellarmine which is currently 1-10 in D1 games. They have lost to Queens, UNCA, and Upstate.

I know a bookie that says he will take a bet from you for up to $500 for Western +9.5

You in?
