Great news! Of course it's the game at Wofford instead of Timmons, but better than no games on national TV.

Finally, I think this is Furman's first ever game on a normal ESPN channel not espn3 etc. It is also the first SoCon game on national TV in some time. Maybe and I hope the new commissioner and our new AD had something to do with this.
FYI-the game has been moved to Friday the 17th instead of Saturday the 18th.

Yes but I can't ever remember them being on a regular ESPN channel at all. Can you refresh my memory?

It's going to be a quick turnaround, as we play Western (in Timmons) on Wednesday.

SoCon title games in 2002 and 2015 were on ESPN

When does fall practice start? 10/1?

Back in the day in high school we started practice 10/15 with the first game around 12/1, but with games in college starting in early Nov. I was wondering if it was earlier???

Watching daily for Woffy to open up single game ticket sales. Furman fans need to get tickets early.

I wonder how your friend purchased the tickets. I tried, but the website says single tickets sales coming soon. https://woffordterriers.com/sports/2018 ... spx?id=431
